Nice, Shogun! Now I really have to shadowline my trim!

Do you have any side or front quatering shots?

Cheers,
Duey

Nice pics & site.

One thing I noticed when I was in Japan is that many of the japanese cars there come OEM with many front & rear body moldings /side skirts, etc.. I noticed many of the toyotas, nissans, and even their vans come out with these aerodynamic skirts etc. many of which don't even show up on in the US market...bummer. It was an interesting visit to see sporty looking vans with OEM stuff all over it.... It would sell big in the US...too bad they don't export them that way.

I really like those wheels..I've been looking for pictures of e34's with ACS and Hamann wheels, I can't make up my mind. :)

Here's a few. The ACS Type II 3-piece carry a pretty hefty price at around $1,000 each just for the wheel....

i like those slippers in the passenger side

[bahnstormer]

i just noticed they are all auto?
do you see more stick or more auto in japan?
also where in japan are you?

[shogun]

I live in Tokyo. Greater Tokyo around the Tokyo Bay has abt. 35 Mio. people.
So it is much better to have auto instead of a shifter.

These modified vans are really a cult here. Unbelievable what one can see

It's easy to find them for sale, but not that many 10+ year old BMWs on the road in Japan. A lot of older cars like these cars end up as Kiwi or Aussie rides. BTW - Nascar called and they want their "Competition R" spoiler back. Not a fan of the mirrors either. The AC Schnitzies look good though.
