▲ 2 r/E34

I know I should not expect to do anything ambitious with it, but E34's are incredibly rare here, most are tired 518i's or early 520i's anyways. Can't find a M50B25 one, but found this.

Obviously need some work, but the good thing is, the car has been resprayed and mostly free of rust I checked. Even kicked jack points to check further. Engine, for being an M20B20 the clicking noise isnt too loud, its as it should be. Ofcourse runs a bit rough. As seen in one of the photos the rear sway bar link seems to have been fallen off, likely needs a new mounting point.

But the main concern is the IHKA Air conditioning system, similar to the E32. Whats strange is that it's a 520i but has very high options (checked the VIN, all checked out true). At the moment the AC doesnt work at all. But will it be a real pain in the ass to fix compared to the normal HVAC system?

Odometer shows 79K ish miles but I guess that has to be a lie, speedometer likely broke long ago.

(Have test driven the car, drives fine and straight, ran outta gas mid drive due to the fact the gauge showed false readings)

I cannot seriously understand this. Why is academic education so forced down our throats? Many are obsessed with asking me which school I went to, grades, etc. Also that "if you fail O/L / A/L, you cannot go further". This mentality seriously needs to stop. Even if the job you plan on doing does not require that aspect, many people force you to do. They all want us to go on that path. Even if you do those successfully, doesnt gurantee a decent-paying job. The sheer obsession with education that most have pisses me off. Also, people be complaining their middle aged children not learning properly, and thats due to the sheer borderline unsurvivable conditions most schools have, even the so called "international" ones. Just like how some euro cars get blamed here for being unreliable shitboxes while we dont maintain them properly, some children with real problems get blamed for not learning properly in an obviously horrid environment.
