New boy here. I am looking for advice on buying a 525i E34. What different models are there ? What extra's does SE have? Which models have the 24v engine? Which is best auto or manual?

cheers bren

I'm just getting into the market for pre-owned 5 series - namely an '01my 530i sport w/5 spd.

Any recommendations on what to watch out for when shopping around?

If price is the problem don't buy an automatic, if not now will be trouble soon. Worthless GM transmission called a 4l30-e. 91 and newer come with the much better m-50 engine.....Bill.
