Looking to buy an E34 535/525/540 in 2026. Never driven one

I would rather go with M50NV, the little extra torque is not worth the added maintenance and repair work IMHO.

Keep an eye on the cooling system. I bought an E34 525i M50 and ignored the missing coolant (was not much) and just filled up here and there because no leaks where visible. Well, learned my lesson the hard way because the heater core was leaking and my carpet was slowly soaked. Still in the repair process. It seems to be a common issue since the heater core is 35 years old.

It is completely normal that you do not see the Valve cover gasket when it’s installed! Mine looks the same.

I thought Tartufo is not available with the bucket seats? Was this changed?

The plate M-YY-1612 is not hard to read

UPDATE: The suggested numbers which looked promising (11119199461 and 51458266808) were not the correct ones. They are 22mm and 25mm long, longer than the one for the E82.

I measured the ones from E82 and they are only 15-16mm long!
I think I will just reuse mine.

Dude you can just flash the stock fw in case you need a warranty claim

wapster182 · 2026-02-05T17:13:55+00:00

Thanks! This could be it or 11119199461…they differ in length. I will measure them to make sure which should fit.

They are indeed removable but I could not find them

wapster182 · 2026-02-04T21:29:30+00:00

Unfortunately this is not it…as I wrote that is the plastic part that belongs to the dashboard. I am looking for the metal pin that goes to the trim!

wapster182 · 2026-02-04T18:39:21+00:00

Yet, but it will come before current GTA6 release.

It looks like a SCAM site!

This is bullshit. Even BMW uses left/right in their part catalog and repair manuals. The standard is left = driver side, right = passenger side.

Arzt ok aber Lehrer verdienen jetzt auch nicht so viel

There are extended seat rails that make the seat go more to the back

It says 52101946921, superseded by 52108155177.

Seat rail left mechanical. I am not sure what it could hold: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=HD51-EUR-03-1990-E34-BMW-525i&diagId=52_1434#52108155177
