Traded my e30 for a e34. Build Thread.

The irony. I want sport seats and they all are more than $300 Anything I buy for this car will probably cost more than I paid for it. Even the headunit I want on the car is $250 or so. I could almost bought a new amp for my e34 for $200! I'm glad I didn't!

$700 dash for $300 car!

FYI, your valance is intact. Perhaps you're referring to the front lip spoiler?

I'd do the 5 speed swap and engine refurb at the same time..

Yes I did mean the Lip. The valance is bent a little on the left but that should be easy to fix. I'm really excited I pick it up tomorrow. I currently drive a e34 and its hard to work on your DD. I plan on getting this running and then I'll have a car to drive and a car to work on at the same time.

So I traded Guinevere my 1990 325i/A for Emma a 1994 530i/5! I'm super excited and love driving her ;D

Here is Sir Lancelot my first car/e34 and Guinevere the $300 Beater

The list of things to do to her is long.
Interior -
- Replace front & rear seats
- Replace shift surround
- Get stock speakers for the rear & midrange. Already replaced tweeters and I'm checking today to make sure the front speakers are stock
- Install G.A.S (Luke Box) and amp. RCA's are already ran and the PO used an adapter for the stereo harness so no chopped up wiring like my 525i!
- Dye the rear deck black
- Headliner in black
- Rear headrests I have them I just need the mounts
- Rear storage compartment arm rest just need to install
- Auto dim rear view mirror I need to install but the mount broke off the windshield =(

Exterior -

- Paint
- Wheels I'm not sure what I want yet
Mechanical -

I know that the list will get longer But that okay because Emma is worth it :D
