stolen E34

[martauto]

I did it. !!!!!

Ive nicked my sons 525 e34 but the headlamps are cracked and need replacing. I have some more complete units and I was wondering whats involved in changing them.

Any advice will be most welcome .

you have to take the full grille and under lip off to get at them and the hard bit imo is getting at the screw for the indicator lense you'll prob have to take the airbox out and other things to get access at them. not a bad job but more to do than what i thought when i changed my passenger side one (some little twat shot it with an air rifle!)

If any of you need any parts from a manual e34 525 tourer, i've just raped one of its engine, loom and other conversion bits, the rest is going on the scrappys lorry to get it off my drive so be quick, just want a drink for anything.

Hi Darren. Was it a 'facelift' model? I'm after some facelift chrome kidney rings like....

Its a K reg mate, no idea if its face lift or not. Got a couple photos if that helps.

[E34-520iSE]

ah bummer I can't quite make out the front grille from first pic! you got a picture of the front end? Oh I could use that black gear lever surround too if you don't need it! Have you got a pic of the empty engine bay at all?

Many thanks,

Shaun M

I'll get a photo tomorrow morning and pm you

Thanks very much Darren - I appreciate it. Sorry I edited my message but I realised too late that a K plater would have a standard front end, I think I was having a blonde moment!

If replacing E34 headlights the move that will save you lots of language is to remove the front bumper, the nuts are behind the black trim. You should then be able to carefully prise the grille panel off without turning the air blue !

^ good tip! ill do that next time as the bumpers do come off in seconds!
