    ^agreed. I think I might remove the ac schnitzer badge from the grill though. It looks really crowded.

      thanks for the kind words guys.. anyhow she underwent a minor makeover recently when i discovered both rear wheels had irrepairable cracks. was told it's common for old ACS wheels, too fragile/brittle.

      throwing stars used as replacement, with matching bumper/skirts. no more AC badge :)





      trunk spoiler still there tho.. yet to find an M5 one.

        what are the common downsides of e34's over the e30's? (aside from driving charachteristic differences).

          the steering box sucks. not as razor sharp as E30 rack.

            I had the rear door panels upholestry start to shrink. The 535i's have a weaker cooling system. I had 90 535i for about a year and a half and no issues with it.

                Depends on the model.... m20 cars obviously are slow as shit.. m30 cars with manual are about right and bulletproof...m50 cars are "modern" and not as much maintenance needed..m60 cars require more engine maintenance obviously..m5s are money pits... and they all suffer front suspension that need work or interior panels falling apart.

                          Cooling system is nothing compared to the HVAC system

                            LOLz.... It's not THAT complicated, but since it's dual stage I bet it is way more complicated than e30 system . Did you get yours working?

                                Yep, 100% working.

                                I say any HVAC system with 12 stepper motors is complex no matter how you slice it.

                                And...
