Another BMW fire victim E34 aka Spike.

[e39hamann]

not feeling it at all

[fromthelbc]

looks like you bought a car at the junk yard and painted the wheels black.

[Poppy]

poor poor car.

[SeanDub]

Gross.

[Dr.AK]

Trying too hard.

Where did you get the spikes?

Spikes came off Ebay. but packaging is labeled spikesandleather.com

The spoiler is an Alpina copy.. that was broken into 3 parts, re glassed and used on this car.

Yes it is a Junkyard car.. after the fire it could of been junked or sold for parts. I just decided to make a car I can take into the city on weekends. Not worry about door dings or some one keying the car. When its dirty I can pressure wash it and be done.

If I want some thing Pretty Ill drive my 1969 Baur 1600, or 85 Baur e30, or 71 Bavaria or 92 E34 Touring with an M3 drivetrain swap or 96 330 Ti. Ok the TI is a track car and is not really pretty.

E34s are a dime a dozen. there are more of them in the local U pull junk yards than E30s. So this one was resurrected to be driven a little while longer.

I may look at a set of wheels and stretch the tires as most of you do. But it seems counterproductive for any performance driving since the outside edges tend to roll under on a properly fitted tire. I would think it be worse on a stretched tire.

Ive enjoyed leisurely reading the other posts, there are some nice cars and interesting cars.. Like some one said above.. different strokes...

I can respect it more since it was actually Fucked up. I thought this was self inflicted.

Ok since every one here has no problems sharing their opinions..

If I were to go get some new wheels for the car so it can be lowered more.. There still in another 2 inches in the drop.

Should I get gold or bronze wheels?
Also on the window tint.. go real dark black or the copper color?

Comments appreciated.. thanks.

Trying too hard, at least paint it matt black or battleship grey etc..

Go for bronce wheels! And I wouldn't go for any windowtint.

There are to many dinged or warped body panels. From the fire the hood and roof are warped. And every body panel is dented.. So paint shows the flaws.. vs rust hides them..

Maybe some paint accents would work..?

So paint shows the flaws..

Dont kid yourself man that paint wont improve this, its your car so do what you thinks best. Just my 2p

[Anonymoose]

What about bare metal? Sand it right back with a rough pad so it's got no rust but is sort of dirty as brushed looking and clear it

[FittedDownLow]

i would say polished wheels

[Ollie]

Slamm it to the ground on some fully polished 17x10/12s with crazy stretch and fitment. Why care about performance with a car like this? If you're gonna do this style you have to go ALL OUT.
