In Mother Russia, no car is too new to restore.

Saw this a while back, incredible work. E34 fog blanks are neat, as are the Elvis plates.

:D

Love the paint - looks like it turned out better than (new) original.

I'm surprised he left everything so perfectly stock, I guess that is the main point of any restoration. But a nice S50, S38 or even S62 swap would have been sick ridiculous.

Nice...if anyone's in the market for a astonishingly beautiful 518i (or 520i or whatever it is.)

From a quick thread scan, the motor sort of kind of needed a rebuild, and he was considering sticking in some sort of Alpina motor.

When someone mentioned that he could buy a new one for that kind of money, he said that wold be boring, so I think he was just doing the rebuild to have fun.

Still, wow. That car is clean as hell.

Classy. Don't like the high/low lenses, but everything else seems pretty tasteful.

I loves me some e34

That is pretty nice, but after all that work, the hood doesn't fit correctly!

If it was the last year of the US 3.6 model, then it was a MY93 with the 5-speed. There were also E34 M5's with the 3.8 liter variation of the S38 and 6-speed manual produced up until July of 1995 released to the rest of the world.
