Nope, these pics id only just washed it, i havent waxed it for about a month, last time i did was after my cousin an i stripped an rebuilt the car lol, we polybushed the suspension front and rear, new prop bushes, bearing, clutch, new gear box, brakes, exhaust, rebuilt the head, timing belt, all service parts and cleaned and painted everything underneath as we went. Dont think there is much on this car we havent had apart or renewed lol, drives sweet now though, all worth it.

All done because we were bored and the car was off the road for 6 weeks because i got banned :roll:

Such a pretty car.

Colour is definately one of the best bmw ever came out with. was gonna say leave it as it is and dont get a tech2 kit but that photoshop that maxfield posted up looks really good.

awesome car.
Forget the Tech-2, leave the back spoiler, it's more decent with it, and change that exhaust pipes to round ones, let's say 2x80mm :cool:
Can you take one shot from the front, I am interested how those clear indicators looks :wink:

Don't do it...Tech II is not the way to go with your car.

You car's sweet, keep it that way.

You'll only accelarate the rusting process with a Tech II kit!

That colour is so clean, cut and bright, yet surprisingly understated!

Amazing car, and those Alpinas do it justicee......i think the Mtech 2 Kit will be superb on that car, especially in that colour

Well done mate

Buy a 5 series :D lol mmmm E34 ;)


Nah on a serious note... She does look amazing but I bet if you saw the same car, in the same colour and with the tech 2 kit it would be jaw dropping...

And if the kit is sealed up correctly then rust isnt an issue :)
