Plus I live in Spain and the general concensus here is to NOT look after your car....any specialist contacts/agencies/websites would be gratefully welcome....

Car isn't but the motor IS.

Any variation of the S38 engine is superb. [headbang]

You would know this if you lived over here... EVERYTHING changed by BMW to meet dot specifications SUCKS (many of which haven't been updated since the 50's...like headlight specs).
Think about it.. e28/e30 bumpers, the US ellipsoid headlights (which totally suck compared to what the european cars got), the e28 535i motor which got 190 hp instead of the european m30 that got 208hp (e34 535i got the european e28 version basically)... etc.
Actually the 3.8 was sent to the US market and infact I have a good friend that has one, a 95. Here is an article on the e34 M5's. e34 M5

Ok but he said in the beginning of the thread:

So I was confused by what you said, because he said he was looking for a "95", you said the US got the 3.6 that year, than you said, "which the US got after 92? 93? I forget", huh?![[8]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_8ball.gif "Retarded [8]")
Ok so we are now on the same sheet of music?

Maybe I was drunk.
The 3.8 liter cars were never officially imported to the US as US models, and no US E34 M5s were made after the 1993 model year.
3.8 liter cars have been imported to the US, but they are not US-spec M5s. They have to be federalized.
As I understand it, the S38B36 is a well-engineered engine. It incorporates a lot of design improvements over its predecessor.
Can you be more specific about the 'many problems'? Do you have a source for the 'carbon buildup' problem?
