Nearly A Dozen Brand New BMW E34 5-Series Were Discovered In An Abandoned Warehouse

Not one, not two but eleven BMW E34 5-Series models were found sitting in an old abandoned warehouse in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria with zero miles on them. 10 sedans and one wagon – or Touring, if you insist.

According to local Autoclub, the cars, which have never been driven or even registered, are part of a failed lease deal but details are currently clouded as to why someone would prefer to store them instead of actually using or reselling them.

From what we can see in the photos, the cars are 520i and 525i models. The exterior condition is varied, with some E34s showing signs of faded paintwork while other missing things like wheel covers and a fuel flap. One of the cars also has its rear window broken.

The condition inside however is indicative of their zero-miles status, with the seats still wrapped in the protective plastic cover and the dashboard, steering wheel and gear lever basically looking brand new. Notice the blank panel in the audio head unit slot.

We still don’t know if the cars had any sort of maintenance done to them over all those years or if they were simply dumped there until the moment is right. Rubber hoses can get pretty dry over all those years in storage, not to mention changing fluids, rotating tires and the lot.

All eleven cars will head to an auction in Bulgaria, with prices reportedly to start from 15,000 euros (around $17k in current exchange rates) per example.
