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

    Hey everybody !

    Like I said in the intro section, I'm a french guy livin' in France, and a french bimmer's owner !
    Remember ?!

    It's my very first build,

    ..I'm 18, almost 19, and student in tourism am I (kinda yoda-ish sentence, Lol?, anyway...)
    And yeah, I've got a strange sense of humor...
    I live on south coast, more particularly in Provence, near from Marseille...

    Well, let's talk about the car !

    It's an '88 BMW E34, 520i with old M20; Kinda sucks with the car weight... Didn't notice it was so slow when I bought it, but hey, it's my car and I love it for now !

    Bought it from a guy, who bought it from a guy which himself bought it from the first owner who ordered the car in a BMW dealer in Paris !

    Ok, so this is the car when it was all stock

    Then I saw this M5 while wandering on internet and fell in love with the RC 300's...

    So decided to sold my iPotato,

    to get these...

    Tested fit them right when I get back home

    Then I got a couple of new rear tires... well, here they are (not)

    [IMG][/IMG]

    Er...

    Anyway, got the wheels mounted

    And I took it for a ride, which (always) means for her a gas station stop

    [IMG][/IMG]

    And washed "her"

    [IMG][/IMG]

    Aaand re-filled it..... thirsty bitch...

    [IMG][/IMG]

    I found some E32 leather seat, so began to remove the creepy original ones...

    [IMG][/IMG]

    Then get these inside, looks waaay better

    [IMG][/IMG]

    [IMG][/IMG]

    Then I received a BMF wallet, which one is it ? It's the one that says bad mother fucker yo

    [IMG][/IMG]

    Found a cool spot to do some cool shots

    Message in a bottle,

    [IMG][/IMG]

    Happy dog

    Well that's all for the moment folks ! Hope you appreciated this little résumé

    The car is still way too high but as I've got a student bank account, the way down is gonna be a long way... !

    And prepare yourself to read a "french point of view thread"

    Thx !

      Upload you images to a image hosting site, i prefer imgur, and then copy the URL of each image individually and put them into an image tag like this [img] URL here [/img]

              Well, thanks !

              I know i know...

              Does anybody have an experience with JOM coilovers ? They're really cheap (350$ for e34), I think it'd be great to keep these on the car like one year or two, isn't it ?

                        Haha, thanks guys ! Yeah I definitely want to get it dropped... But I'm not into cutting springs, I never did that and I don't really want to...

                        As soon as I wanna get rid of a few dollars I'll run get some coilovers !

                              Yeah, that's a cool car ! And me regretting the serious leak of power, but when it'll get low, don't think it's gonna bother me anymore !

                              Thanks, fellaz !
