BMW E34 5-Series: classic saloon character
The E34 pairs traditional BMW proportions with a mechanical feel that rewards a well-chosen exhaust. The long floorpan and varied engine range mean front, centre and rear sections need to be matched to the exact model rather than selected by engine capacity alone.
Check the engine, production year, steering position and flange arrangement before ordering. Age-related repairs or previous exhaust work may also mean the car no longer has its original connections.
