Just your ordinary e34 DD build.

[Rui]

Haven't had much time with school and stuff but I got the car cut and polished and picked up some more wheels. I have all the parts I need aside from a few small items, so hopefully I can get it put together this weekend

which tire is measured on wheels?

[jcbe34]

Haha the car is indeed sold, it is in good hands but I haven't seen it pop up on the internet anywhere since.

I have been working on my kinda junky e34 m5 euro and finishing the s54 swap on my e30, which happened about 2 weeks ago.

Next on the list will be engine rebuild and cosmetic refresh (read: cirrus car all over again) on my m5

So I just found this thread and read it from the start, only to realise that the last update was 2 years ago and this flawlessly perfect e34 has been sold. What an emotional roller coaster

[MrViicc]

I would have taken that car to the grave with me.

Amazing build, very proper.

some more pictures from the coilover make?, do you have a link to det sleeves?, how did you do it rear?

[Raka_blakk]

speechless O_O

The nicest E34 i've ever seen

[jcbe34]

Sorry, missed this thread. Ive just been lurking on here since I sold the blue e34, coming on here always makes me miss it.



Koni front, bilstein rears. Just do Koni's all around though. My rates were 525/440 but the rear was a little bouncy with the Bilsteins. It would be fine with Koni's. I used that A-1 stuff yeah, but I switched the perches around and used some flat ones I have from something else in the rear and GC camber plates in the front, which are a must if you're going low.

I have a '90 m5 euro at the moment, but its on the back burner project wise. Strictly daily driver duties now, but someday it'll get some attention




Yeah, e34 rear toe isn't adjustable. If you're eating front tires you can fix that pretty easily.



That was an m90, but I've changed directions and the car now has an s54. Might post up something on it soon. It's getting close to running

That car better be at sowo.

Car was sitting too clean! Sad to here that it went...
I just finally put 2 & 2 together, your under 'jcbe34 on bimmer.forums aswell. :facepalm: I tried to keep up on your thread about the custom e34 coilovers, but got lost somewhere... So what did you eventually go with for fronts? and for the rears? billies or the konies? and did you and your friend ever decide on perfect spring rates? wasnt it like 400lbs/500lbs? and you went with this kit right? >http://shop.a1racing.com/cok12436-5.aspx (would need different top perches though) - assuming you went with the billies...

sorry for 21 questions, just trying to pick your all knowing brain! hope you find your way back to the '34 one day...

awesome!! have a question tho! is your toe all screwed up from going so low? my e34 eats up tires and ive been told by a shop they cannot get my toe adjusted right because how low I am?

Car was sold awhile ago.

Well, thats awkward, i guess thats what i get for semi skim reading. hahaha

[prod0660]

Thanks! Haven't updated this in a long time. I've been DDing it for the last 4-5 months, 40 miles each way through downtown Atlanta. No damage other than a couple small spots on the front lip, but that was inevitable.

I haven't done anything to the e34, been working on another project-
