	A good site to use for recalls is usually honestjohn.co.uk It's a spin off from the telegraph newspapers. The link below should take you to the e34, however, unlike other cars, (check out range rovers and the volvo 850) there are only 2 noted recalls. http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/index.php?url=/carbycar/index.htm Perhaps it's not as up to date as I'm led to believe, or perhaps the e34 is just that good a car.

	A further source of recall information has just been advised to me. The DVLA have their own recall website. http://www.via.gov.uk/apps/recalls/default.asp For the 5's it only goes back to '92 but it's of some use I would guess. Regards

	Hello all 5 owners, I owned a 1991 E34 520i 24v, this was recalled in 1999 for replacement radiator cap.Not many,if any manufacturers would recall after that length of time. I was the 2nd owner.

	I agree with radiator cap recall. German car companies seem to be on the ball. I had a "B" reg golf GTI 6 years ago and they recalled my car the day after the heater matrix exploded sending clouds of white steam inside the car!
