Mods, unsure if can put this here, if not sorry, can you move.

My E34 Sport, much prefer it to my e30 :o: , sitting on eibach springs with Bilstein B8's, Rondells 059s and have a 6x4 stainless system to fit when get the chance.

Front sits about 10mm lower since fitted Bilsteins, before these were taken. Might spray the skirts ala M5 style and thats about it.
Quite fancy a 540/6 next as wouldnt want to waste/ or afford to run a M5 for a daily driver.

On my 4th rear tow eye cover now :roll:

I had a 525i Sport like that for a brief while and was very impressed with it, much better engineered than an e30 IMO

525 Gareth.

Nick, will keep you in mind mate when the time comes, trying to find a 540 up here though isnt the easiest, gonna sell my e23 and e30 and start the hunt soon though for one. If you want a squiz at it sometime, just gimme a shout.

Prob gonna advertise the m30 bits on here if no-one up this way is interested, more than welcome though, moving to out past Sauchen middle of sept so prob try and shift as much as i can before then.

Not got much e30 spares tbh, all the decent bits are on the e30 and sold/ scrapped the rest, think the only thing left really is the 51mm struts and maybe a set of uprated shockers.

You wouldnt have any leather coupe door cards would you? Needing a drivers

The 525i sport is surely a better car than the 535 anyway?

We all know how much power those 3.5 lumps have lost over the years compared to a 'modern' 4v per cylinder engine. Plus fuel differences :eek:

sauchen? jeez the hills have eyes george lol. i was in sauchen today by pure chance.

ive forgotten the state of play, is it a complete kit but unfitted or is it all in the car but not finished? i wasnt really looking to go m30 again but i may put it all in for next summer before i decide on my final engine choice, saab turbo is way out in front just now. 8)
