Anyone have some split seat rear M5 seats I want that for my car instead of the bench

sexy trunk

finally got my style 5s mounted.

ive been staring at e34 pictures with aftermarket wheels online since I got my car last year, and always thought that 17" looked small and 18" looked perfect. now that i see it in person, 17" is perfect and i dont feel the desire to get 18s anymore.

Actually only three sets. :)

Just happened to find these on cl after searching the forums for awhile with no luck.

Much more free time now that I only have one set of weaves to clean.

[straight6pwr]

you have a hard time choosing wheels, eh?

these are your 4th set since you bought the car?

plasti-dip. its perfect for this application. cheaper and less time consuming than modifying or buying and cutting vinyl. just remove the plate, tape the edges, spray. peel off whenever you want.

Nice--think that would look great on my Alpine.

Racing Dynamics wheels finally mounted. Awaiting UPS delivery of euro E36 M Tech II steering wheel. 5 speed swap to commence end of month.

Did you modify the sedan rear plate filler or use the sticker type?

Photo?

Needs moar low.

Hahaha funny thing is, I want to chop a coil off the rear springs since they are maxed out and its too much rake. Might even pull the front helpers out too. Tuck 19s static like a boss!

finally detailed her and snapped some good photos. didnt finish my 17" style 5s in time for this though:


ive done a couple things so far to the exterior:
early side mirrors
smoked euros with bixenon retrofit
smoked turns with amber bulb
all red tails
front and rear plate filler
shadowline
