  • Another classic bimmer build thread

    Hey guys,

    Let me introduce my new project, it's a 525i automatic E34 (1991), calypsorot metallic, with white leather interior... It has only 78000km and is in a really really good shape !
    Not many options but anyway...

    S209 Differential lock 25%
    S302 Alarm system
    S401 Lift-up-and-slide-back sunroof, electric
    S411 Window lifts,electric,front/rear
    S428 Warning triangle and first aid kit
    S510 Headlight vertical aim control
    S520 Fog lights
    L801 National version Germany/Austria

    Here are some pictures when I bought it, on november :















    Then, I found a set of staggered 18" MK Motorsports... Bought them, did the polishing of the dish by myself...



    Did a lot of researches on how to lower it... Bought some coilovers, some short shocks from a Quattro oldie... Did a lot of cutting, welding, testing... Sent the rims to the paint work shop...



    And there's the actual result







    I'll order some original caps for the wheels from MK Motorsport tomorrow

    Let me know what do you think guys !

    Cheers

      looks good, it could go without the spoiler though.

        Thank you guys, glad to see you like it ! I love the look of the rear with the spoiler, it's OEM and it fits well I think... Quite original too don't you think ?

                  Nobody seems to be interested, but anyway... Here is what I did today :







                  Tearing down the whole headliner to refurb it, including the sunroof part

                  A better picture of the steering wheel :



                  And a little Photoshop I did...



                  Tell me what do you think of it guys !

                    I like ithe stance. Very agressive with the dark wheels.
                    Nice interior to!

                        Very nice e34 and great stance! This one confirms me 99% of e34s may go throug headliners repair, that also includes mine. Let you know you are not the only automatic transmission still alive.... but recommend you take care of its manteinance if you dont want it to let you hanging out. Keep up updating the progress on this nice lady!

                          Thanks mate !!!

                          I already have my bunch of transmission problems... But I think it's more electrical than mechanical, I'll end to find where's the problem one day or another !

                          Here is a little package I received today :



                          Polishing pads from Lake Country + Chemical Guys Wheel Guard... Will use the pads with 3M products ! Hope to find some time to do the polishing soon !

                              Thanks mate, have you got a link to your ex-E34 thread, of course if there's a thread ?

                              Everyone don't hesitate to post links to your E34 threads, I love to see what you're all doing
