Hey guys, I recently picked up an e34 m5 from an insurance auction that was wrecked. As some of you have seen on the facebook page I am using it to build myself a replica e34 m5 touring and figured I should start documenting the built for everyone to see. Enjoy
The current plan is as such
Built a hypothetical US spec e34 m5 touring to replicate the m5 donor car, this means no euro parts on it anywhere, us spec headlights, reflectors, tail lights, 3.6 engine and drivetrain, everything US spec.
To further the homage to the original car it needs to be the same exterior color combo, same interior color combo ( Calypso with gray bottom, Silvergrau hell with gray headliner)
Most of the parts from the original car will be reused unless its touring specific ( like rear seats and such )
When I first saw it
When I took delivery
My buddy driving it onto the trailer
The donor wagon, a 93 525iT with 212k on it
The m5 was towed to the shop
Disassemble begins
Bonus photo e30 m3 in reflection
