No more E30...I like E34 (now for a proper intro w/pics)

[be34st]

Did you use a polishing/rubbing compound before waxing? The roof of the car is worse that the hood was, no sheen to it at all. Anything you would recommend?

You're e30 was my wallpaper for a couple years.

Gonna have to wax it at least once a month to keep the shine, my e34 was about the same before I let it sit for 18mo.

Its not 100% done, but it looks a while lot better.

Did some polishing today. Hood a trunk were getting very oxidized and "ashed over". Shot my side-markers with VHT Nightshades too. I don't really like how it turned out on the tail lights but the side-markers aren't too bad.

Great car for a great price, here in brazil cars are too expensive...

The 6inline is far better to maintain than the v8, had to let go my 94 530 e34 auto... It went for 10.000us... 100.000km
Still have the m5 though, really fun!

i think you could have left the "e" out of your user name....

car looks clean though, cant wait to get my touring back on the street with the 3rd pedal...

I should really start taking pictures while I'm in the process of doing things.

I Havent really done much since my last post other than replace my front shocks with bilstein sports and cut 1.25coils off of the front spring, and a couple oil changes of course.

I Swapped the front corners for smoked clears, Smoked my rear turn signals since the all red look was starting to fade.

Recently Picked up a set of 17x8 ET10 BBS RX203's runnig 235/45/17 Toyo Proxy T1's. They came on the wheels, which I got for a steal!, and have a little life left in them so I use them for now.



Next up is control arms and then I'll go throgh the ignition

we have like the same car lol black e34, stick, 535, etc

keep posting pics man, i need some ideas on what to do with mine

Will do, I plan to keep it simple and classy.

Who cares how much the car / wheels were... if you go by that logic then you shouldn't do an s5x or m6x swap into e30 as it will cost more than the car is worth LOL

I don't think wheels and a motor swap are equivalent. I'm just gonna focus on maintenance and performance until the right wheels pop up for the right price at the right time. I'm patient.
