Added another BMW to the family....

[Chris E30 Cab]

Since the birth of our 2nd child (3wks ago) my wife has needed a 4dr car that would fit 5 adults. Therefore, I found this E34 520i and besides the auto gearbox and M20B20 engine it'll do ;) Anyhow, the engine and gearbox will be changed soon :twisted:

Some issues are being fixed now....but once I get it home I'll post up some better pics.

BTW, the metallic black paint is pretty new (car was originally Sterling Silver) and the grey leather interior is also only a couple of years old.

Anyone know where to get smoked indicator lenses?

A new, sportier suspension, will be fitted soon after I pick it up, then after a few months of driving the gutless pig I'm sure I'll be sourcing for an S50 or S52 ;)

Nice car! For the lenses check they are on Ebay.uk from time to time.

[Chris E30 Cab]

Cheers & thanks for the lead! I've searched so many German tuning shops and none of 'em have smoked :?

Looks like a nice car...would look super sweet with the suspension you're talking about matched with capless, real M-System II's.

Nice E34 Chris, should look sweet with the suspension. S50 swap will be awesome, is she cool with the 5/6spd?

Those euro bumper moldings look much better than the U.S. ones with parking lights.

[Chris E30 Cab]

Cheers fellas, and yeah Stu she's very cool with a stick ;)

Obviously we get the nicely powered non-US S50/52 w/ multi-throttles out here so it will be tempting to put the 3.0L stroker into the E34 and the S50/52 into my cab.....hehe....we'll see.

If i keep everything status quo then a turbo will show up in the near future for the stroker..........test drivin' that Ferrari F430 on the abandoned runway in Shanghai has ruined me :(

BMWM3....I'm considering some 17x8 & 17x9 Racing Dynamic RGP's but these will do for now. Definitely going to sort the suspension, power & gearbox out first ;)

I wanted an E28 as it's one of my favorite BMW's but there are very few here and I just couldn't find one :(

**EDIT** Schneider, thanks pards and I don't know why I didn't think about Mike's place....afterall that is where I got my smoked lenses for the cab.............duhhhh.

Congrats on the new child and the new ride :)

Congrats on the new child and the new ride :)

Seconded. Nice looking ride.

So it has a 2 litre M20 in it? Jesus, and I thought my friend's M20B25 E34 was slow... :D

[Chris E30 Cab]

thanks fellas....the new one is a girl, Ashley, and she is a bit more exciting than the car.

Yeah the M20B20 in an E34 is not a performance car by any stretch of the imagination....huh.
