Updated pic's of e34 with new rims, clears, etc.

[E34 530]

Hey Guys. Here are a few pic's of the e34 with new rims, front and rear clears, and Eurotrim. Although I love the new rims, I am starting to fall in love with Rondell #72's. Hopefully the dents will be pulled out in the near future. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Sorry about the picture quality, I accidently had the dark setting on.

By the way, does anyone know the part number for this bumper piece, (the one with all the nics and gashes) or does it not even detach at all?? Also, does anyone know if just that piece comes off. If so, I can sand it and re-paint it.

I had a european plate on the front of my car. I had to take it of when I got this job in Santa Monica. Their meter maids are notorious for writng tickets about missing front plates.

[E34 530]

Yeah. This one is just ghetto screwed on for now. I just put it on for a show I went to today. I am going to get a holder for a different Euro plate I have. Hopefuuly, I won't get into any trouble with the front jersey plate on the dash inside the car lol.

I like it, great color too, but imho you should lower it and pait the lower part of the bumpers and sideskirts body color.

Next item... in my opinion... paint match the lower back trim ;) ...take 10 years off the look of your car!

[liquidtiger720]

I think his next item should be some suspension components.

Car looks great. The interior looks new. The rear bumper cover is a whole complete piece. It comes off in about 5 minutes if you want to sand it, but it is the whole thing.

Please submit your pictures to the virtual car show. These are very nice pictures. You should used them to join the fun and let more people see your car long after this thread fades from the front page.

Thanks all for the kind words. I definetly agree with you guys about painting the lower skirts and front and rear bumpers. I hope on putting brake ducts, M-tech sideskirts, and an M5 rear apron when I could afford them. I think I might need a new radiator or components, so these might not be installed for quite ahwile. Does the M5 apron come seperate, or do I have to buy a whole rear bumper?? By the way Brodee, your car is looking amazing with the painted skirts. I also am looking at some new springs, (vogtland in particular). Would I have to replace the stock schocks if they only have 57k miles?? (Haha that sounds funny.) I recently bought an e21 and I am fixing that up, so the e34 is probably going to be on the backburner for a while. Being 17 sucks, not enough cash lol.

[QUOTE=Qube]Next item... in my opinion... paint match the lower back trim ;) Talking about painting trims... I tried to do it yesterday back came out really nice but I messed up the front. So I decided painting them black. Lot of work put into nothing :(

You have to replace the whole bumper cover.


By the way Brodee, your car is looking amazing with the painted skirts.
Thanks! The more I look at it the more I like it.

I think most people will agree you should replace the shocks when you do the springs. Especially since the vogtlands drop the car so much, good idea to get lowered shocks like Bilstein sports or Koni adjustables.

Thanks for the info brodee. Does anyone know where I can get a decent priced M5 rear apron from??

What size are the wheels? They look great!

[SC David]

What size are the wheels? They look great!
Look like the 17" E39 540 wheels. The car looks awesome. Lowering it will make it look twice as good.

[Nick.Hay]

Then a tasty bit of lowering...

(4.5inches should just about do it!!! HA HA HA.. Joking :D)

[bahnstormer]

where in NJ?
i've gotten harrased for plate in window =[

[E34 530]

What size are the wheels? They look great!
17 inch e39 wheels off a 540. They are 9 in the rear and 8.5 in the front I believe.

Thanks for the comments on the wheels. I was a little hesitant about them at first, but I think they match the color of the car quite well. I definetly have to drop it, but my radiator is on the fritz, so that might be awhile. I live in Bricktown, 5 minutes from the beach. Do you live in Jersey, and if so, where?

[E34 530]

Bahnstormer, just out of curiosity, how much, what size, and where did you get your style 72's???
