Now that I'm able to afford one, I have been looking for some for the last 5 weeks. My specifications (non-negotiable) are as follows;- M50B20TU/M50B25TU engine- 5 speed ZF/Jatco gearbox (no 4 speeders)- Optional; black leather interiorI would like to request some advice from all fellow forumers here, if it is not too much to ask. These are some of my questions;1. I've tried the 520i and I feel that the performance is quite flat. How much better is the 525i? (M50 engines)2. How much difference is the cost between maintaining and running (i.e. fuel) a 520i and a 525i? (I am a ardent petrolhead, drive a lot)3. How does one go about nowadays getting insurance cover for these cars (>10 years old, difficult)4. Personally, should I go for the 520i or the 525i?I hope I can get some good advice here, and if anyone here has an E34 for sale as per my requested specs, please, do let me know. It would be much appreciated. Thank you everyone, and long live the UDM!! (I'm no joy is BMW person, hehehehe.....)DMann</p></blockquote><p></p>
