        If you're talking about the stock wheels on the wagon then fuck no, they're ugly as hell

        Its hardly a sleeper because its not even fast, I was actually surprised at how slow this car is for being " the fastest sedan in the world " when new

          the fact the car is the same colour makes it that much more awesome! Its weird how this model wouldnt even look like an M car without the badge on the back. Doesnt look much different than a regular 5.. They certainly changed that with the E39 but.

            Subbed... This is a dream of mine as well. Alongside of an E46 M3 touring swap.

              The only way to keep an e34 is in touring form. I wish I still had one of mine. Love the plans, want to see it move along.

                Cool project! Got lucky with the Calypso on both.

                I was surprised how slow my e34 m5 was around town when I got it. You really have to wind it out to enjoy it, but I think it's a pretty awesome thing when you do.

                    E34 M5 Goodness

                    Awesome project, nice score on the M5 at auction !!! Its cool that the car will live on in another shell. I wonder if it will just be a simple unbolt and rebolt in everything sort of thing. I would think so. Nice way to keep the color the same too, that is cool too. Good luck with it, keep this thread updated with pics of progress.

                      Stripped out some of the old interior and swapped it to gray, sorry I don't have any photos of the interior after I put it back togehter fully









                      I also put the wheels, mirrors, rear bumper, and driver side motorsport door handle.
