congrats!
Those are sweet cars, you are going to have a lot of fun in it - well done.
My '89 E30 has just clocked 100300 km this week. That is 62k miles for you imperial system users.
In fact, there are quite a few pre 1990 E30's in NZ that have done between 62k and 124k miles. Smaller country I guess, so less distances to drive.

I was looking at E34 535s and M5s a few years back. The E34 has classic styling and a very nice interior. The fit and finish of the 5er is excellent.
Make sure you get on the maintenance and other issues, as they have a few problems. I think they have some heater/AC issues. I also believe they suffer from door-lock cannibalism over time, so you may want to look into the fix-it kit that some places sell (Bav Auto or BMP should have them).
I am sure the E34 owners can chime in. Get a Bentley Manual too.
There are still a few mods for the car. A chip, exhaust and intake will give noticeable gains on that OBDI M30 engine.
