Euro BMW E34 M5 for sale in Canada

After the redefining E39 M5, it seems BMW enthusiasts are torn as to the next best. Many suggest the E34 is the second-best generation due to its furthering of the E28’s sweet S38 inline-6, significantly more modern styling, and status as the last hand-built M-car. Reader Petr sent us this listing from Calgary for his gorgeous Lachssilber E34, highlighted by a factory-new engine 40k miles ago. That can’t have been cheap. Neither were the myriad small but choice upgrades like a Turner chip, exhaust, etc. Despite the investment in this car bringing it to near-perfect status, Petr is aware of the market and has priced it at an extremely reasonable $12.9k. If you’re in the E34 camp, this is a great car for the right price.

Nicest E34 M5 around

I’m certainly not immune to the draw of the E34. They scream “business time” at me and make me want to go back to commuting 50 miles each way to work. Petr has avoided the common pitfall of thinking every dollar that goes into a car you deserve in the sale price and has priced it well within market range. Perhaps even a bit conservatively. A brand new S38 and rebuilt auxiliaries ensures your time to pour money into it is in the distant future, with many miles of smiles and sweet S38 growl being well worth the price of admission.

    If we could import it into the US, this would be a very tempting car for those in the market. A lot of kilometers, sure, but the care this one’s received – along with a very expensive new engine – market it a very attractive opportunity!
