i think those look really bad on the 5. i kinda like them on the e30 though, like someone said, very time period correct.

Turbines - FTL

Throwing Star caps - meh.

Naked - FTW

Arent those covers functional ? I mean that I was told that the turbine covers are like fans to force ventialtion air to the brakes and correct the aerodynamic wheel turbulence at high speed.

As I said i was told this by a friend, so maybe he was all wrong.

Functional - yes. Turbines pretty? -Not to me. I have a set and they didn't even come with the covers. Personally I won't mind if I find a set of stars, but I won't pay for a set of turbine covers. Just not my taste.

[8380 Labs]

so yer saying you dont like them?

you my friend are correct in your thoughts... that exactly what they do.

the more i look at them and imagine them painted white like Vlads old set, the more and more i like em.

More info on M-System I's...



Another reason for these on E34 M5s is they have no brake ducts, AFAIK.

Not sure if the technology would be quite as effective on cars that have brake ducts up front. If you look at some of the touring cars back in the day you'll notice that several of the cars that used a similar 'Turbine' technology out back, instead of up front.

Another shot of staggered M-System I's...

oh no shit, dope. thanks dude!

Trevor were did you get that diagram/page. I have a buddy at work who will not believe me that the covers are actually finctional, I explained to him the theory but he want factory proof. and thats it for sure, i mean with the illustration and all. can you provide the link or if you have the image larger that would be great
