  • El Maco

    Hey everyone, gonna post some updates and pictures of my BMW E34 525i. It's the old M20B25 with some chip, exhaust system which leaks somewhere, a tiny bit lowered springs and was on ac schnitzer reps when I got it. The name comes from when me and some friends where ordering take away McDonalds and I screamed out that I want El Maco and the left the spices in the car. Not spread out, just in the bag of course. I also want to say that I'm a very bad handyman, so everything I do, I need help with. So please shout if I'm planning to do something "wrong". Now, my car history:

    Fiat Punto, in which I basically learned the basics of driving. Even it was a shit car, it holds a place in my heart.



    Started to get a bit interested in cars after the Punto and wanted to get something a bit nicer, so I got this:



    A Passat with the 1.8T motor. It was a pretty fun car, should have had a little more power though. Traded that + got some money for my next car, which is this one:







    I knew directly that I wanted to get rid of the wheels and lower it a bit. It had some sort of lowering springs but it wasn't enough. Next up, I ordered these bad boys:







    OZ Futura 17x8,5 with ET13, lip is 2,5. The 225/45s are scraping, so I need to get smaller tyres plus maybe cut some springs because I have an extra set of springs for winter. Coilovers are in the searching, but I need some budget ones at the moment.

        For now it's on some random lowering springs that the old owner put on, but they're looser than a hookers vag so I've been scraping tyres quite a lot... I'm hopefully gonna get Konis in front and Sachs in the back this incoming week. I'm looking at your E34 now, black is always an classic. Would love a 535 like yours though!

          Ummm... I don't have one, I'm asking for a friend because he doesn't wanna lower his too much (which isn't enough in my opinion) and he doesn't stray away from bimmerforums, and hasn't really found a picture of a drop that he likes

            I'm gonna get some photos when I get the coilovers!

            Here are some photos from a local meet. The MK2 Golf and the dark E36 are friends of mine.








            Deffo needs a drop as soon as possible.



            Just had to put it there for the lulz
