The Appeal

BMW's success in the 90s really was due to lynchpins like this. The E34 managed to prove itself as one of those ultimate driving machines - a refined, rock-solid car that smashed its way into the zeitgeist with style. They were comfortable and laid back...while offering a sharp, direct relationship between driver and asphalt.

This example has been with the current keeper since 2015. While they spend much of their time in Canada, this is their UK-based car of choice - excellent taste, I'm sure you'll agree - and has proven a very reliable modern classic. Thanks to its regular course of maintenance, it's a highly original, well-kept car, too - ready and waiting for its new owner.

Retro styling, a spacious boot and a sweet six under the bonnet - this 520i is an excellent 90s touring car that's bound to impress.
