    My fully restored E34 540 6speed *RARE* 1 of 7 Calypso on Shwarz

    Just noticed you guys have an e34 sub forum, figured you guys might want to check out my long journey I posted over on BF.C with my 95' 540/6. Roughly 6 years in the making, it was a pleasure restoring this car to the best of my ability, and it sure was worth it. Hope you enjoy... Here is the build thread to show all of the little details, videos, modifications, specs and body work ect...

    Many have asked, the car is NOT for sale ;)

    Also some of my favorite pics of the completed car. Much more in the build thread!
