Default 400,000 miles never looked so good

Finally hit 400k in my e34 as I pulled into the driveway tonight.


Over the past few months, the car went through a huge transformation and was finally completed this past weekend. Some specs on the car as it sits now...

1991 BMW 525i 400,000 miles
OBD1 S52 w/3.5" MAF, TRM Chip, Raceland Headers, Straight-piped into a Borla Muffler. Dyno'd 242 whp and 218 rwtq.
NEX Coilovers w/2" removed from the strut housings, front coils cranked all the way down.
16x8 et-2 (plus 10mm spacer equaling -12) and 16x9.5 et-17 custom built BBS RS.
Mtech Front Bumper and Side Skirts.
Full respray in glanzschwarz (thanks to my younger brother!)
Etc.



Here's a few pictures that other people took from over the weekend at/on the way to BlownEuros...






Even though the weather was shitty, here's a few I went and took in honor of it hitting 400k...











500k, here we come!

PS: A proper photoshoot is coming soon

I want you to know that your car is incredibly sick, I support it fully, and I might love you.

I've never ever liked E34s, until now. This car is amazing. And congrats on 400k.

I support this in full, and if I'm honest, quite jealous.
