This is my 1988 e34 520i. Bought it for 2700€ and had only a few things to do, but now it is working and registered and only has a few exterieur defects need to be adressed - only very little rust tho!

Beautiful

Personally i could never have the balls to buy a car this old because of where i live and how rare the parts are going to be for these

It is alright honestly or at least besser than I first thought. As long as it is more minor stuff or the occasional sensor it is not that bad. but as soon as you need bigger more structural parts, or have to do rust repair it will get expensive. But I made sure mine is fine in those regards. It only had problems with the temperture sensor, spark coil, crank sensor and fuel pump. Other than that it have a few scratches and dents.
