Just thought i would post up some pics and info on what i have been doing,apart from bloody house hunting etc not much else,slowly been changing the 540 into something more easy on the eye,first off sourced a intake from the US,then Strutbrace,found some BMW alloys 8.5 fronts 9 rears,had autobox oil and filter change,change of powersteering fluid,new tie rods,sourced some BMW tinted rear lights from Germany,new tinted side repeaters,front tinted indicator lens's.Goes without question car is reliable and bloody quick,(trying to keep it in the sleeper mood tho)will be getting lowerd springs soon and been looking at nitrous or a supercharger for a later date,(house purchase dependent)

 

Tony

Couple more pics. :D

That's a fine looking E34 you have there! :)

 

I applaud the decision to keep the exterior modifications subtle, such a shame to spoil what is, in my opinion, a great looking car. I've been looking at E34 M5s of late and plan on getting one very soon (unless I happen upon a rust free, manual E24 635 Highline in the meanwhile).

Nice looking Bavarian Autobahn stormer you've got there mate...

Nice E34. I had a 535i sport :

 

Nice looker there Tony! I've always had a soft spot for the E34.

 

Legrath, how come you haven't got SWZ in your signature? You no longer working with PJ?

Looks nice Tony. Lowering should finish it off nicely.

 

 

That one has 60mm front and 40mm rear, looks spot on imo.

very nice,still plan on buying an E34 M5 at some point.

 

Paul.

nice,keep thinkin about droppin one of those lumps in me e36 328 for the sound track

nice car, i saw a genuine M5 estate for sale i was tempted to have it for work :x: he said it cost £70,000 new

Very nice, i do love the 5 series :D Looking good lads!

Looking good TC :cool:

 

You should get it to a trackday in the summer, I've just booked a thrash round Anglesey full circuit in July :hyper:

 

How's the house hunting?

Got to love the E34!! I've had my M5 for 6 months now and love it!

 

Considering it's getting on a bit if still feels and drives like new. I prefer the looks of my Z but much preffer driving the M5. For a big car it really shifts, 340bhp from a throttle-body strait six sounds awsome. I am looking forward to driving the Z agiain in the summer with the targas off though!!

 

As for repair, best car I've ever worked on. So much thought went into servicing/repairing these cars. I replaced the heater matrix the other day in 2 hours, no fuss or bother. Also uprated the headgasket, another easy job.
