looking good

btw (referring to sig pic) I LOVE white e34 wagons. I would get one in white if my e30 touring weren't white. But e34 wagon is definately next on my "real car" list

So what is the motor to get? I have been looking at E34's for a while and im wondering what is the money engine. I always made fun of 525 owners because they always seemed to me to be underpowered, but the more I leanr the m50 seems more and more desirable. The v8, seems somewhat unmoddable and heavy on gas. Then the M30 right? I just dont know.

Usually i'd say, body colored lowers...but I think it's got a nice look without.

Diggin' the drop, and the new mirrors.

BTW, getting ready to have the M-System IIs redone with a machined lip. :D

Probably the m30 is the best all around. Of course the s38 in the M5 is nice, but cost is way up there. The other option is to get an m50 car and swap in an s50 or s52.

I like my m50. It's not going to win any street races, but it's a very smooth daily driver. It also doesn't make much sense to mod so all my engine mod money goes to the e30 :)

Well you just sold me on the brake ducts, got any part #'s???

Your car looks incredible! Personally, I like the contrast with the black but I'm anxious to see it painted!

Part #'s and a write up here - http://www.bmwe34.net/e34main/upgrade/540_ducts.asp

If you decide to do them then pull off the bumper, it's MUCH easier. Also, take your time when cutting out the bumper, you can't add it back in if you cut too much.

I hated the black bottom until I put on the ducts, now it's growing on me, but parked next to the touring I definately think it will look better when painted.

It'd almost be cool if you left the bpttom of your new skirts in the black, but painted the top strip of them (including the strips at the bottom of the door) body color. Then left the front like it is.

Also, kind of like what Ray Korman did with this E34/S50.

Thanks, did they come black or did you spray them?

They came black, I didn't touch them. Make sure to pick up about 15-20 1/4" x1/2" bolts or screws with nuts to attach the brackets with. I got them at Home Depot.
