(Not so) low & slow bimmer build / BMW E34,

[Laef]

Hey mate, i'm always pleased to see some "same country guys" haha
(Ouais parce que t'as vu entre français on s'parle quand meme en anglais :p)

For sure this setup's much better than the stock offroad machine status

Interested to see more of ur car man, gave u a follow on IG btw

[jeger]

Eh dude This coilovers setup is way better than the normal one for sure !! ^^

Love the way you photoshopped your picture on the precedent page, but I am style French and our shitty roads with many many many many maaaanyyy speed bumps are a banormous problem for the lowered game .... :/ (SURTOUT en Région Parisenne ...)

I am really lucky to found the perfect way at my first attempt to stanced my E36 !

Keep this way, it is so good to see some frenchy one Stance Works !

[Laef]

hey thank you sir

[lauriest]

Idont know man this just looks incredible

[Laef]

Just came here with a little update guys

Yesterday i bought some black plate for the car, looks so much better on it imo

Took a ride on the local tourist road ("Route Des Crêtes" in french) and snapped some pics that i wanted to share with u

Also got my rc's back (with some gold hardware or lug nuts, what's the english for this??) cause i broke one of 'em and the car was for a while on the stock rims..... The fact is, the car was lower on stock ones haha










the gold thing shit













"soon you'll have a new st wheel..."

[SnazzyQ]

Haha I know what you mean. *winks*

[Laef]

Sup guys it's been a while!

Thanks for the kind words but yeah she's not as low as i expected... The ride height has slightly lowered himself tho, by "1 cm"... (dont know a shit about inches sorry haha)

I agree with you guys but dont think i can cut some coils because of the spring shape... I could do that for the rear since the springs are straight but that's all...
If someone have the solution ?

Now i'm in disparate need of a new steering wheel, stock one is faded so i dont want to spend more on suspension (maybe next year )

Think i'm gonna go the woodgrain way, since "everybody" in here does that, yeah SnazzyQ you know what i mean haha

[Chillponta]

Looking good man! But I have to agree with SnazzyQ about the coils, but just a few tho, like 2. or 3 or 4

[nelius]

Ballin on a budget we all know how that goes! I've realized the the 5 series in general is BMW's best looking series, IMHO. e34s and e39s in particular

[SnazzyQ]

Dang even just slightly lowered it looks amazing.

I think what should happen now is your angle grinder should have a date with a couple of the coils and.....

cut your springs is what im trying to say

[Laef]

Hey hey

Firstable, the gay thing :

(the pink parking lights...)


Next, it's been two weeks now that i'm on coilovers !

And it feels good, my original suspensions were sooo bouncy compared to those!

Let's start by the beginning: the day i received the coils



And i "immediately" put the car on stands to start with it
My cousin helped me do the right side
(i'm on the last pic haha)









Lowest setup "without welding"





(Not low) my thread title's still good haha






"Vans"






And you probably noticed that i received my SW stickers haha
I shouldn't be rockin' it since i'm not low enough but i really love it




POV !



Well, i expected that the base E34 coilovers kit from JOM will not got me enough low but the car looks way better now tho




CHEERS ?!

[Laef]

Stylé ! Tu était de quel coté ?
Ouais le portefeuille vide on connait haha :P

Merci ! Photos ce weekend

[philippeoliviergiguere]

J'ai passé plusieurs mois en Provence il y a quelques années et j'en garde de super souvenirs! Je suis moi aussi encore aux études et je connais le struggle du compte en banque haha. Beau projet! J'ai hâte d'en voir plus!

[Laef]

Sup guys

I received my coilovers last week and I already installed the front : in fact it's not that low
Since I don't know how to weld, I just took the spring and the "adjustable" part of the coilover and mounted it on the stock dmaper...

Pics soon ?

[Laef]

Yoo SW

I started to do some painting on the e34,

So removed all the plastic stuff off it




Also got rid of the shitty exhaust tip and i like it more that way



Usual dog picture, and except for stealing tools and play with it he doesn't help that much haha



Still got my FL plate



And scratched it idontknowwhere... Fuck it, ain't care



Details...



Gonna have to got stickers to hide this!



Oh yeah i was talking about painting (i don't have many pics)




Dog again



Started to tape my grill to preserve the chrome thing




But it was a pain in the ass so i did it again...



...to paint the chrome black







And done !





Yeah also, there was a fucking anthill behind my headlights, which explains the spray

Damn high compared to it tho




Balcony pov





Oh, almost forgot this... I painted red my "fake us blinkers lights" and it looked awesome on daylight, but at night it looked fucking pink haha

Well, I'm not gonna post any pics of this episode, cause it looked totally gay
maybe someday



And the other day we were chillin at the beach with a friend









Well, that was another pic heavy fucking nonsense update !

See u guys
