*SOLD* 1996 Euro 525ix Touring 4x4

Post by ovide »

Up for sale is this amazing E34 525ix Touring.
It's a 1996 and one of the last ones of the production line.
It comes with something I've never seen before: integrated child support seats!

Image

It's a stickshift 5 speed manual 4x4 Touring.
Strong M50 engine with only 123000mls (197000km)

Image

Comes with all service books (stamped) and history.

Image


Inside is perfect, under the hood it's as new!
Has a few imperfections on the outside like a scratch and dent on the rear passenger door and panel.

It's a slicktop so no sunroof and it doesn't have the ugly roofrack frames!

comes with factory A/C, ABS and dual Airbags.

Car drives extremely well and is a blast to drive in the winter.
Comes on style 32 wheels with the odd offset for the 4 wheeldrive.

Oxfordgrun metallic with pergement beige cloth seats.

Detachable trailer hitch and integrated dog-shield (with the separately folding rear seat!)

As this car is from 1996 importing it to the US will be very difficult or pricey as it doesn't apply to the over 25 year import rule. Canada however is no problem and maybe even a better place for this car with their snowy roads!

*SOLD to Austria*


PM me for more info and details,
best, Ivo

Cool car, and dang that's clean! And an ix wagon with a manual? A car like this might be the kicker for some to carry through on their threats to leave the US. ;)

GLWS!

I had a Volvo wagon with built-in booster seats, but that was a 2006 model. This E34 may have been the first with that feature.

Lol, that was my exact first thought too. I think Ted in T.O. got even more nervous after this thread. :D

You'd have to wait five years to bring it in though.

I'm pretty ignorant on the car importation laws minus the 25 year rule but what would keep this out of any state besides CA? IS the euro motor that different?

Let me rephrase that; what would keep it from being registered tomorrow in say Texas? We got e34 tourings in the US (right?) and we got the m50 is it the additional 4wd that keeps it out before 25yrs or just our wonderful overlords and their silly policies?

Nothing really stops you, but the federalization costs are going to be probably triple what the car is worth. Like you said, there are Tourings in the US, even M5T but people paid pretty penny back in the day to bring them in.

or have it shipped, imported and titled in Canada first
then bring it into the US

more people have done this, but I doubt if it's feasible....
I can always get you another 525ix wagon that already is 25 years.....
