In a surprising turn of events, a unicorn of the automotive world has emerged in Delhi, and it’s causing quite a stir. An exceptionally rare 1990 BMW 520i (E34) is now up for grabs at a mere INR 7.25 lakh, and car enthusiasts are revving up their excitement.
Painted in a classic white hue and bearing a DL registration with RC Book, this classic beauty boasts a 1991 cc, straight-6 cylinder BMW M50B20 double overhead camshaft petrol engine under the hood. But that’s not all! The 520i was a trailblazer, being the first model to feature the new twin-cam straight-six engine, delivering a punchy 148 Horsepower and 190 Nm of torque. It can go from 0 to 100 kmph in 10.6 seconds, reaching a top speed of 211 kph – talk about classic speed!
For those who relish the feel of a manual gearbox, you’re in luck! This classic BMW comes with a 5-speed manual transmission that will surely take you back to the good old days of driving.
However, there’s a minor twist in this tale – there’s no NOC available for this gem, but for the right buyer, that may just be a minor speed bump on the road to nostalgia.
The 520i holds a special place in the hearts of car aficionados. It was the second most popular E34 model worldwide, with a staggering 426,971 units produced. Powered by the iconic BMW M50 engine, it also boasted the honor of being the first 5 Series to utilize a rack and pinion steering system. Truly, a masterpiece from BMW’s archives.
The BMW E34, the third generation of the BMW 5 Series, rolled onto the scene in November 1987 and graced the streets until 1996. Initially introduced as a sedan in January 1988, it later added a “Touring” station wagon (estate) body style in September 1992, marking a groundbreaking moment for the 5 Series.
The E34 brought technological marvels to the table, including stability control (ASC), traction control (ASC+T), a 6-speed manual transmission, and adjustable damping (EDC), setting the bar high for the 5 Series range.
What’s even more fascinating is that this beauty was crafted by the talented hands of famous car designers Ercole Spada, J Mays, and Claus Luthe, who poured their creative genius into the 5 Series.
To top it off, the E34 showcased an unprecedented variety of engines, with nine different engine families making their mark, including straight-fours, straight-sixes, and V8 engines.
So, if you’re in the market for a slice of automotive history with a side of laughter, the 1990 BMW 520i (E34) in Delhi is your ticket to a quirky journey down memory lane. Act fast, or this classic gem might just speed away into someone else’s garage!
