In the late '80s and early' 90s in Mercedes-Benz W124 was the main competitor of the BMW 5-Series. For the Bavarian sedan also secure the post renown "gangster cars." The car in the back of E34 has a lot of fans, but time inevitably reduce their number. BMW 5 Series cars, which have 25-30 years, simply rot away on time.

With regard to engines, i.e. as rather weak (volume 1.8 - 2.5 liters) and powerful version (from 3.0 to 5.0 liters). Moved with a cast iron cylinder block, so that their service life is huge. Problems can throw 6-cylinder in-line engines which are afraid of overheating, as well as system timing VANOS phase change.

BMW turbo diesel is not worth taking, as the fuel pump and the turbocharger are not such a great resource, and no one can predict when they will fail. Version with a V8 engine may also throw up surprises, since it is not very often go on such machines, namely the "chase."

Audi A6 in the back of C4 was produced from 1991 to 1997., Which until 1994 was called the Audi model 100. To buy a used / have a copy of it will be enough 250 thousand rubles. But this money will have to rethink a bunch avtohlama, it will fall before something really worthwhile.

All the engines for the Audi A6 mid 90's are quite reliable, but we can say that the 2.6 and 2.8-liter V6 is better than others. On any engines of those years the main thing - that the system KE-Jetronis mechanical fuel injection was in order. Her repairs - a task to which baffled many stations. But the automatic transmission should not be afraid. If there are no obvious problems, kicks, then you can safely take a car with automatic transmission.
