The E34, while not having quite the torque/acceleration of the E320's 3.2 litre straight six, certainly does have impressive top end performance...

I traded labor to build (2) jet ski race engines for the E34 and traded labor for the paint and body. As of today, I have $130.00 total cash investment in the E34...

Nice purchase of the E320, but it looks like a pre-facelifted model. Can't be a model year 2000 E320.

06/1999 production date and no evidence of any crash/panel replacement. The owners bought it on vacation in Germany brand new, drove it around Europe and then had it shipped to the U.S.

From your pics, it doesn't have the updates that the 2000-2002 W210's got.

It's got the pre-2000 instrument cluster, front bumper / air dam, and door handles.

It's also missing the body kit below the door sills.

Still a wonderful car, though.
