Catuned *** 1991 BMW 535i BBS Project

[catuned]

OK;

So picked up a 2 owner 1991 BMW 535i with a BMW installed BBS kit and bbs wheels. The 2nd owner picked up the car & had the dealer install the kit and the wheels on it. And told me she paid $5K for the work back in 92.
Her and her husband owned the car all these years and recently gotten an X5 so the E34 was up for sale. Any ways here is what the car looked like when we got her:

Nice car.
Not feeling the LM's or reps. Needs more low and lip to pull them off.

good job

I think it looks terrific now. In the before photos, my thought was that you had a bunch of neat old school parts, but it really didn't look that great (too dated). But with a few changes and some cleaning up, you completely turned it around. Excellent!

Love it. Always wanted to own a nice E34 535i 5spd

Ditch the ricer wheels, and refinish those poor RSs

[ZM Blue Devil]

Keeper for sure.

Guys these are REAL LM Wheels. NOT copy.. lol

The 3 piece wheels are in the process of getting redone. Dont worry.

Im not changing the car too much. I want to stay true to what it was back in 92. ;)
