This 1994 BMW 530i Touring was registered in Oregon and California before it was acquired by the seller in 2022, and it was subsequently re-powered with a 4.6-liter M62 V8, a Getrag six-speed manual transmission, and a open differential. The car was refinished in white, and additional modifications included the installation of revised engine management software, 17″ Brock B1 alloy wheels, Vogtland lowering springs, Bilstein dampers, a stainless-steel exhaust system, a Z3-specification shifter, a Euro sport steering wheel, and sport front seats. Additional details include M-Tech-style lower bodywork, custom door sills, a microsuede headliner, a Continental Bluetooth stereo, and dual-zone climate control. This E34 530i Touring is now offered at no reserve with an accident-free Carfax report and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The car was finished in Alpine White II from the factory, and it was repainted in March 2025, per the seller. Exterior details include M-Tech-style bumper covers and rocker panel extension as well as dual sunroofs, roof rails, Euro-spec “smiley” headlights, fog lights, a rear wiper, and a forward-hinged hood.

Silver-finished Brock B1 alloy wheels are mounted with 245/45 front and 275/40 rear Sumitomo tires that are said to have been installed fewer than 100 miles ago. Bilstein dampers and Vogtland lowering springs were added under current ownership, and additional work is said to have included rebuilding the steering box and replacing the steering linkage, front lower control arms, and the front and rear brake pads and rotors.

The cabin features retrofitted front sport seats and a rear bench trimmed in black leather. A microsuede headliner, a Z3-specification shifter, aftermarket pedal covers, and 546iT-branded door sill plates were installed under current ownership, and additional appointments include an onboard computer, a Continental Bluetooth radio, dual-zone climate control, and cruise control. The rear cargo cover is broken and does not retract properly, there are cracks in portions of the wood interior trim, and wear is noted on various surfaces.

The leather-wrapped Euro-specification sport steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer indicates 188k miles, approximately 1,200 of which were added under current ownership. The electronic throttle is sensitive, the check engine light is inoperative, and the Carfax report lists a potential odometer rollback in a June 2011 entry. The total chassis mileage is unknown.

The 4.6-liter M62 V8 is said to have been sourced from a 2002 BMW X5 with approximately 150k miles, and was reportedly retrofitted with 22RPD engine management software. The seller tells us that work completed during the October 2024 engine swap included installing urethane engine mounts and replacing the timing chain, VANOS seals, heater valve, auxiliary water pump, blower motor, radiator, and coolant hoses.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Getrag 420G six-speed manual transmission and a large-case 2.93 open differential that were installed under current ownership. The transmission was sourced from a salvage yard, and its previous mileage is unknown. A replacement driveshaft, larger axles, and urethane transmission mounts were installed during the build. The car is equipped with fabricated headers, X5-specification catalytic converters, a Magnaflow rear muffler, and a stainless-steel exhaust system.

The Carfax report shows the aforementioned potential odometer rollback.

The car has not been inspected by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair or Air Resources Board following the engine swap, and it cannot pass a California smog test. Therefore, it cannot be sold to an in-state private party buyer.
