Jeremy I know its your car, buuut, I'm going to have to take the credit for this :p
And order up that turbo!91 m3Comment

I like those rims better than M-parallels, but they will look good too. Why would you want to trade H&R's for Eibachs? Eibachs are like cut factory springs.Comment

That looks likes its going to be one badass ride. I would have sprung for the m5 though. Then you wouldnt even need to turbo.Back to my roots

I will someday have an e34 - of some nature. They are my favorite BMW by far. This one is especially nice, and you're going to love it.
Why do people KEEP HATING on eibachs? Seriously. I loved the set on my coupe, and may even get another set.
Part/sell your car, and go nuts on the e34 - just stay on here and keep us posted ;)Comment

With so many people taking a hiatus from E30s... this board might start to shift a bit ;) Titties on the E34 535 with 5-speed... good price for it to. I was talking to a guy on bf.c with completely stock internals running 13 psi with no problem (TEC-3R and intercooled Stage 2 TCD kit) on an engine with 233k original miles. Putting down 360 rwhp/380 rwtq. His name is Andrew (gol10dr1)... nice guy if you are looking for advice.
The E34 M30s are amazing. I have one still in my garage. If I find a 5-speed E34 525i I may just swap it in there for a cheap fast family sedan.
Turbo S38 M6 project has to come first though....Comment

That's the key. I don't want to know what the intake air temp of 20psi non-intercooled is like.Originally posted by uflnuceng13 psi with no problem (TEC-3R and intercooled Stage 2 TCD kit)
With the the exception of head gaskets, M30s are bulletproof. The B34's 8:1 compression is more ideal, but your B35's 9:1 will be nicer off-boost.
Once again, congrats Jeremy. You're pretty much building my dream BMW. Turbo E34 535i's are the best compromise of cost, class, stealth, speed and comfort - aka the perfect overall car.Comment

i love e34's so much. I have even thought about not modding my car next summer and try and get a cruiser 535 but i would still want to mod my e30 and also the e34, so that just wouldnt work. oh and yours looks perfectComment

Wow guys, I'm blown away by how many members here love e34s! Time to answer some questions though:
TJ: I agree 100% on the Eibach being cut factory springs, or worse, but I've already riden in a 540i with Bilstein Sports and Eibach Pro Kit and it was the perfect combination--still held the road, yet wasn't the headache of a suspension like my e30. I might still keep the H&Rs though, haven't completely decided.
Fifedog: I was looking at M5s, but they cost $12k minimum which would leave me with no money at all to put into it. Especially when the engine would start dying.
Jarvis: Now I understand what you were saying. If I do decide to go up to 20psi, then perhaps I will spring for the intercooler, especially when I'm living in AZ.
Jared: Turbo S38 M6? I applaude that idea even if you never do it. I have a video of TT S38 e30, he slips through the first four gears off the line.Comment
