I miss this car. T'was totalled after I foolishly sold it in 2006:

That breaks my heart a little, hearing about your old 540i. I didn't know it was totaled. I lusted after this car for years and years.

Washed to two E34's today. The 540 has been down a month or so due to the ceramic clear starting to lift on the two front wheels. Time for a drive...



Cheers,

The problem is that I live in a very old house with the original very narrow driveway. The curbs on either side when entering seem to lay in wait for me. I need to line up pretty carefully to avoid them. Let just say I haven't been very careful.
I'm very open about the fact that My car is a "Tribute". It started life as an '88 535is. Of course, regardless of model, the proof is whether it ever was in Buchloe and if they say it's real. Even though I sourced the same parts that they would have used, I can't claim it as authentic. I can't call it a "Clone" either, since my choice of colors was never offered by Alpina. Also, technically it should be a B10. Oh well, just a rebel I guess.

Nice, I am building a m535i "tribute" as well hehe, but started 528e and plans are for turbo m52. The beauty is that there are so many options we can take these cars and do what ever we want.

Although I'm not a big Stanceworks fan, they did take a good shot of my car. I've since added the Alpina cowcatcher, but I took it back off because I kept hitting it against EVERYTHING.

My beater M5 before I sold it. Bought it in Chicago and made a road trip back to NY in it. Good times.

Added brake ducts and just converted to black moldings. still have to do the door handles.

^^^ great-looking car. what color is the interior?

Cardinal leather with Cardinal-ish speckled cloth inserts front and rear. Recaro fronts replaced factory sports. Custom armrest delete in the rear, since it's pointless.
