The E34 was probably the best 5 series ever. I had a couple of month's use of a 540i with a manual box (yes, I'm a hypocrit as in another thread I've banged on about how I like automatics) but the manual turned the 540 into something that could get near 30mpg if you were fairly restrained!! What it did do though, was make a lovely lovely noise when you booted it.!!!!!

Yeahhhh, those were the days!!

Incidentally - the Nissan didn't break down, I just got bored of the colour and sold it on.
