Instead, the bright red E34 Touring is his very own, and he decided to spruce it up a bit. Naturally, 28 years and just under 200,000 kilometers (124,000 miles) have taken their toll on the wagon\u2019s exterior appearance. We\u2019d argue it has held up quite well given its venerable age and mileage, showing it\u2019s been taken care of.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s been waiting for a year to find the time to give his BMW wagon the attention it rightfully deserved. The expert car detailer spent many hours wet sanding and polishing his E34 Touring \u201cto somewhat perfection\u201d. The owner mentions will invest additional time and attention to detail to obtain the desired results.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-418481\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-E34-Touring-830x552.jpg\" alt=\"BMW E34 Touring 830x552\" width=\"830\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-E34-Touring-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-E34-Touring-1539x1024.jpg 1539w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-E34-Touring-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-E34-Touring-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-E34-Touring-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-E34-Touring.jpg 1802w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW E34 Touring 830x552\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-418481\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20552%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-E34-Touring-830x552.jpg\" alt=\"BMW E34 Touring 830x552\" width=\"830\" height=\"552\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-E34-Touring-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-E34-Touring-1539x1024.jpg 1539w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-E34-Touring-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-E34-Touring-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-E34-Touring-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/BMW-E34-Touring.jpg 1802w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of BMW E34 Touring 830x552\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The classy and classic first iteration of the 5 Series estate looks just as good as it did in 1994. <em>Chromatic Garage<\/em> says he\u2019s not generally a big fan of red cars, but he does like how his E34 Touring looks after restoring its shine.

The E34 Touring may be past its prime, but this one still has many years left in it judging by how it looks.
