So this is what i did today...

[///Sniper535]

After an afternoon full of sawing, drilling and mounds of plastic shavings...

[t.wak]

Looks great, I've been pondering whether or not to do this also...

[///Sniper535]

Well i got all the parts pretty cheap from the dealer about 70ish. i forgot. but it took a while to get them in.

[markus]

is it me or am i the only one who hates the 540i brake ducts? sure my car has them but i like the bumper from the 95 a lot better.

[Bin_jammin]

I'm sorry, while I like the car in your pictures, I'm not sure what it is you've accomplished with your work. Did you cut the bumper to make it shorter?

[///Sniper535]

I had to cut my bumper to get the brake ducts in.

I had to cut my bumper to get the brake ducts in.
I thought maybe you built a BMW.

Looks good either way.

Did you connect the ducts to the brakes? I understand some of the later models (e39 maybe) had the ducts blocked in the American models so water couldn't get to the brakes... some response to a lawsuit perhaps.

Looks nice man. Brake ducts ftw.

[///Sniper535]

I've noticed that many e38, M3, 550i, New 6 series all have brake ducks, but much bigger. So i doubt a lawsuit... but who knows.

huh?! it's same bumper as just about any other e34, one has ducts cut into it and one doesn't be it self done or factory issue ducts, but the bumper is the same

Actually, i did notice that the air channels shot more towards the outter rim/tire. I don't think they were meant to work with 15 inch rims it seems..

[winfred]

the 540/740/750s all had 15"s
