So, here is a building diary for my fünfer.
She was born in 1981, as a 520i. I am the third owner of the car, the previous brought it to Hungary in 1993. I bought it in the summer of 2009.
She looked like this:
The factory wheels were boring, i always loved the basketweaved wheels, and a friend of mine came up with these, it wasn't a question that i had to buy them.
The specification was 16x7,5, ET13 BBS RZ.
After half year of using the problems were started to come up, and the rust too. I had to replace the doors, and the rear fenders. Those days i had no money for a good paintwork, so i used the car in that shape:
In the spring of 2010 the m20b20 was replaced with a m30b28 too.
In the end of the summer, i mounted an alpina front spoiler:
The year 2011 started with a new paintjob. The color is a rare one factory BMW, it was used on E12s.
New springs were installed too, made the car 40mm lower at the front, and 35 at the rear. And i shadowlined the car too.
After those, a great business came up, i bought a set of M-system wheels, with a set of throwing stars, and a set of turbines.
In the last two weeks the car changed again, the alpina spoiler was changed to an m5 one, and a coilover set was installed too.
And my future plans: Change the front tires to 215/45(now they are 225/45), spacers, camber plates, and i want to change the rear rims from 8" wide to 9" ones with the tyres matched to the front ones(maybe 235/40 ?) The m-systems will be painted to dark bronze, i really like the tone of the Desmond Regamasters matte bronze. And some more low at the front.
Please excuse my bad english, and all comments and suggestions are welcomed!
