93' BMW e34 from the UK

[AndyBMX]

Haven't updated this in quite a while because not much has happened apart from spending a day cleaning it, I'm pretty happy with how the paint came out.

But a few weeks ago I found a set of wheels I'd been after for ages. They're M Parallels, 18x8 & 9.5. Found them for a good price so went and bought them the same day. I'm still not sure whether 8s will be wide enough for the front, plus tyre choice is crap so I might try and find another pair of rears.
I'm also still trying to decide on the colour for the wheels. Not sure whether to go for silver all over, or silver centres and polish the lips...

Coilovers will hopefully be ordered today, just waiting to hear back from someone at BC

e34s are really nice, but too heavy, especially for the 2.0 M50. If it was M30 you would feel much more comfortable when overtaking and fun stuff.

Anyway I like what you did to your other cars so... I'll keep my eye on this thread.

hello gorgeous

your corrado was really nice out of the whole bunch.

has a lot of potential with those wheels, keep it clean and simple

[Blumagic]

i know its your old car but i love these wheels. especially the rear one, the deep drop center is nice. What are they?

Renault alpines from an Renault GTA

they come in 15 x 6/8.5 so have a sick staggered look.


new parallels look sick andy. hope i get to see it soon!

After reading your story, I can't wait to see the Bimmer down low! Subbed!

But of all the cars you've driven so far, you mentioned the Alfa but didn't post one single picture of it?

I liked the Renault wheels on the Polo best.

Yeah this isn't exactly fast.. I've thought about putting something else in, m52 swaps are apparently an easy swap, so may well buy a m52 2.8...

But thanks man

Cheers, I really like them, probably my favourite 15" wheels.

Haha not sure why I forgot to add a picture for it. The Alfa was a bit of an impulse buy, and as much as I started to become unsure about the looks, the engine in it was amazing. Would have been nice to keep it and lower it as it's pretty different, but the BMW scratch needed to be itched haha.



This is the spare backbox that came with it, I went on the car for a while but couldn't deal with it every day haha. Was a lot louder in person than in the video..

Sweet! Every car enthousiast needs to own an Alfa in his/her life (when possible) for once.

The 75 model in DTM version makes my jaw drop 4ever *lol*.

On topic again, BC makes their CO specific on customer demand spring rates.
But do they still fabricate a CO for your Bimmer then?

[xXp_ExoTiic_qXx]

Nice E34, I'm interested how this will turn out. You should go with silver centers and polished lips, would be perfect in my opinion.

[Tarmac180sx]

This is gonna be really sweet! love the color, good luck to you good sir

[Mehowski]

Being located in England makes it always a bonus to see a British build, and I'm a huge BMW nut so this is a great combo
Seeing how your other cars turned out I'm sure this wont disappoint, looking forward to seeing some progress and already love how clean it is. Even though it's simple your photography is great too. Love E34s aswell, they're just so mean it's brilliant haha

Haha yeah, was so tempted to DTM it, but was so hard to find parts and when I did they were far too expensive!
What do you mean by CO?

Thanks man. I think I'm going to go do them in a sparkle silver all over and see how it looks. That way if I don't like it I can sand the lips and polish them

CO = CoilOver

[AndyBMX]

CO = CoilOver

That's what I assumed but didn't want to reply to something else and look stupid hahaha
Yeah BC do make coilovers for e34's, but they have to be welded on to the original hubs. I'm just waiting to hear back from BC about an ultra low kit, if they're able to get one sent out soon then I'll order them this week

[Suburuuh]

I've seen that hub welding now and then. I assumed it wasn't so with your Bimmer.
So then it's like semi custom / DIY if you lower it!
