I saw your car at MWorks when it was almost done being shaved! Took me back to mine when I had it. It was a '90 535i with the winter package. Gotta get into another one soon

So sorry I suck at uploading stuff to this thread. I was back on here looking for parts and wanting to make a parts for sale ad and figured I'd show everyone what I've been up to. If you care to see updates on this thing quicker follow on instagram @mworksgarage or myself @cambilzerian. Enjoy!

i **** you for finding such a beautifully maintained e34 and in such great condition
however i love what you've done with it so far! can't wait for more!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks man she's a diamond in the rough that's for sure!


Well I haven't been driving my car because of the snow and salt until today. Took it to work to install my pedals and valve cover gasket. About two minutes into drilling the holes for the pedals my drill bit snapped. So more on that after I get ahold of a new bit.

As I said before the back of my valve cover was leaking a little oil so I got the gasket from ECS pretty cheap. Once I started tearing into it I noticed the nut on the back corner wasn't very tight and chances are that was my problem. But since I already started I replaced the gasket anyway. I snapped a quick pick of what 225k miles looks like.



And a quick photo before I washed it.



We're supposed to get 8-12" of snow here tomorrow so she'll be back in the garage until more parts arrive! Some suspension parts were ordered so possibly more lows soon.

Thanks so much man I've been following your build as well. Can't wait to see where that goes! As far as more lows I agree. I'm gonna run BCs with custom rates and revalved when they get here I'm just on the sport springs for now because it beats stock springs until the coilovers arrive.

Hey I appreciate that man and Ill def be following this build. Im starting to get a soft spot for these E34s / New lights look great not really a fan of the smoked look but they look great on your car. Your car def pulls it off well. This is going to look sick once you get the BCs, and I can agree with you 100% that the sport springs > stock anyday. Def in for results bro

Got the smoked fogs and side markers in. They're lighter in person than they look in the pics but you get the idea. Looks way better than the ambers I think. So now everything is smoked up front but the headlights and I'd like to get ahold of some Hella smoked headlights next.







Spent some more cash on random parts so more will be coming in soon.



I live close to ECS so their stuff ships to my house pretty quick when they have it in stock.



I ordered a new lower door trim since mine is cracked (just gotta get it painted) a new valve cover gasket since mine started to leak in the back, an M emblem insert for my shifter and a Schwaben wheel hanger.

Looking good bro def love it better without lip and the trim repainted black. More low must be had Loving the car and cant wait to see where it goes keep it up bro.

Tiny update! Parts began rolling in. I'm a member of "kill anything amber on a car." Well some cars it works I guess but not on mine. To me amber on a white car stands out too much and I want more of a sleek look so I'm trying out these smoked corners and side markers.

looks real good. keep up the progress.

And there's the P.O who took such good care of her before I bought her! Thanks bro I'm glad you like it. All the maintenance you did was solid work and buying from you was the easiest car purchase I've made so far. I'm glad I found this thing I love it.

looks real good. keep up the progress.

Thank you man! I bet those springs look familiar

Those springs do look familiar! LOL The car sits really well. Like you said it could go a little lower in the front but seems perfect for a daily driver without the headache of smashing an oil pan! Forgot to compliment on the awesome ACS too!

[dirty_thirty]

Car is coming along well and looks great!

Thank you man! I bet those springs look familiar
