RobZR Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 An E34 dream/ nightmare. https://boston.craigslist.org/sob/cto/d/braintree-1995-bmw-540i-massive-price/6999294845.html This thing has some of the most unobtainium collected in one E34. 3 guys have spent fortunes trying to get a head gasket to hold and all have failed. now being sold as a collection of rare parts with a calypso shell and a bad head gasket. If I only had vacation time to drag this thing home.🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be all over it if I didn't have (2) E34 540i/6 already. And 8 vehicles (6 BMW's) has stretched the spousal approval factor to the limit. "if you bring another car in the yard, it better be an RV, cause you'll be living in it" rings every time a deal like his comes up. I've seen this car go up for sale ~8 years ago. The original owner was a doctor and had it built as a street/track car. It's got all the track toys. The M60 was bored and stroked to extreme. He took it out a couple of times and blew the head gasket. Rebuilt it with upgraded gaskets, ran it a few more times and blowing it again. Fed up with the ordeal, he put it up for sale. I was to late to the deal and the current owner bought it. I found my calypso car a year later. He proceed to check everything and replace the head gaskets yet again. ran it for a few months and blew the head gasket again. That was last I heard of this car, 'till it came up for sale as is now about 3 mo ago for ~$6500. now he's down to a more realistic $3000. On paper this thing is a Beast, in reality the motor is a nightmare. as Paul Harvey said "and that folks is the rest of the story" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobZR Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 The bored and stroked block on this monster just doesn't leave enough deck between the bores for a happy head gasket. Swap the block for a m62B44 and using the s62 crank you got a nice 4.7l M60 franken motor. Less headaches then integrating the S62 electronics. But that's been done before as well.

jc43089 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Also he says no title, but he is blocking the plate?...Hmmm. Except he forgot in one picture... Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris3 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Could be he's being creative and using a plate from another car as a temporary "solution" to not having a title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobZR Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 The plate is a "in transit" plate used for transport to and from auction by many dealers. Boris3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website is shit of the company who built it in France but I found this video that appears to be taken on a phone made circa 1999. It does not look or sound like 330hp.
