Euro project.?.?

[SpecRaceM5]

Unfortunately, nothing is for sale at this time. I would hate to sell my parts and then end up getting a different car without euro bumpers. I honestly will probably hang onto everything even if I get that car. It would be nice to have a set on stand by for a euro beater or in case one of those gets tapped.

Here's a couple photo shops with wheels and a drop. Just a quickie to get the idea. I like the turbines best so far. I'm sure the Throwing stars will look good though in real life. I know they are ps'd backwards, it's the only pic I had at a someone close angle.

Definitely Tstars, without a doubt.

no trust me on this. you want the turbines. they are OEM e34 M5 and look classic and awesome. the others look like you are trying to do new rims on an old car. turbines for sure

Believe it or not, all three are the same wheel. The black wheel with the silver lip is the base wheel. The turbines and t-stars are both bolt on covers. I have the wheels and both sets of covers off my M5. :) The nice thing about them is I can change it up a little bit.

Haha. Me too. Turbines is the plan.

Jake... I hate you for your clean, 2nd owner, plastic bumper, glass moon roof, slammed on Borbet w/ flush cap hotness. I hope to make my car like an old school version of your car... kinda.

Update! Car may be here this March. If so I will be selling my current daily ('89 Toyota pickup) and will start work on the euro project. It will be fun since a bunch of stuff I already have, but after I get all my stock of parts put on I will have to wait a while before progressing. I'll see if I can get some pictures of something up soon to keep you all entertained.

Cheers,

Brian

See if this makes sense. Notice how for both city light indications my hand is on the stalk holding it in place. This is because it is like the high beam flash feature in a way. It does click but does not hold the stalk in the position. The BC button in your above post is for the OBC. It toggles the different modes on the OBC. Pretty cool option back in the 80's/90's but not a Euro only thing.

Cheers,

I hate to pop your bubble, but your spreading rumors................ the parking lights for single sides come on when you have your headlight switch pulled 1 click and then turn your turn signal on to whichever side you would like to light up.----- it is designed for europe where the streets are really narrow and if you leve your lights on bothsides, you have half the time till the battery is dead.


not trying to crap on your thread--just trying to help. you got some cool stuff

[SpecRaceM5]

Thanks for the info Mike! I actually think someone else mentioned that as well in this thread. It makes a lot more sense then what I was told previously. Do you know if the turn signal switch is the same for the e30 and e34? I have euro lights on my M5 and want to hook them up correctly as well.

Cheers,

Brian

honestly I have no idea waht is the difference in the 2 cars u.s./euro that makes the lights work that way.
It could be the light module that changes it on the e34s-- dont really know though, never messed with it.-- please post if you do get your lights to work like the euro ones, i would like to know what the difference between the 2 is.

Will do. I plan on getting them both wired correctly for the euro lights. I don't know how long it will be but I will post up the nitty gritty when it is done.

Is it possible to get a part number for the blinker stalk with city light thing? I has looked and can't find it.
