      If you don't buy that V70R, I'm going to come punch you in the dick.
      Heater core is a 10-minute job, and costs $70

        That wagon has THE best I5 available in the US.
        Factory 19t, forged internals etc...

        Same exact setup in my old Yellow, but mine was swapped to manual

          Yup I quoted myself.

          Also automatic and AWD, are not what I'm looking for.

            the 2000 is the best year IMO. I believe it was the only one with dual exhaust... correct me if I am wrong.

              It is the best year. Forged engine. 19t, green giant injectors. Not sure if its got dual exhaust. Easy to add if you wanted to

                My experience the e34 is a low cost of maintenance car - I have not owned one but worked around them for years. Not many issues and they are before BMW went crazy with electronics in everything. The M20 motor is a great motor with little issues if maintained like anything else, and the bushings get worn out on many of them. Just maintenance stuff. Show me a car where bushings dont wear out.
                I wouldnt say a honda is any less expensive to maintain and waaaaay less enjoyable to own.
                I love Volvos but there is NO way a turbo 850-v70 volvo is less expensive or less of a headache to own then anything short of maybe an antique British car with Lucas electronics.

                  I just scrolled down on the first page and saw Haleem commented on his experience with E34s wrenching on them and he is obviously correct. My only hesitation with the e39 5ers is just the addition of all the extra body control electronics the E34 did not have as many but the fuel mileage is way better once the introduced the M52 to the situation. My choice would be an E34 with M50 and a stick if possible for comfort space and enjoyment.
