Any idea what the plate is? |

I think it's a Northern Ireland plate. Some people get them as cherished numbers (vanity plates) to hide the age of the car. xIL is the code for Fermanagh. Link to "en.wikipedia.org" |

Who changed it to 1995? |

there's something odd about this one. the body colored lower rocker panels SHOULD indicate a late car (1995 or 1996 in the U.S. ~ though i'm not sure that was the same in all markets), but something something seems a bit off. i'm thinking that when the body color rockers came into play, (at least) that lowest black semi-soft trim line should have been body color as well. do we know the year..? i've only had a half dozen E34 cars over the years - i really feel like i should be able to help more, but the trim and detail changes by market always give me pause. |

It has to be a 1995 because there never was a model year for 1996 for the 5 series, it just went straight to 1997 with the E39. You can tell it's specifically a '95 because in the final year of production the rocker panels are body colored and the turn signal behind the front fender was added. |

Some facts about E34! 535i was offered 1988-1993 in Europe (1993 extremly rare, the last 50 cars went to Alpina to become Alpina B10 BiTurbo) In the USA were the offered 1989-1993. Side indicators was law all years of the E34 in Italy, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, UK, Japan and many if not all in France have them as well. First from 3/94 were the world standard. This is a UK car = everyone has side indicators. Painting the lower parts of the bumpers and bellow the doors was VERY popular, this one lacks the M-skirts. Outside North-America the last Model year of the E34 was 1996, last produced Sedan was 1/96 in South-Africa and 12/95 in Germany. The Touring went on to 6/96. I have owned four 1996 540i/6 and stills owns two of them. -- Last edit: 2012-03-10 17:47:02 |

More; The elephant mirrors had MY 1988-1992 cars as this one has. From 1993 the mirrors were on a stick. In LHD markets could you have M-mirrors (from 10/92) standard option on M5 (standard on M5 20 Jahre, 1993 US M5, 1995 Canada M540i, 1995 US 540i M-Sport and 1994 525i Sportlimousine) and Individual option on the rest of E34. The Alpinweiss car is maxium a 1992 car. |
