Guys

In my constant search for E34 M5 pictures, I stumble across the "gallery" option often. I think I have over 1000 M5 pics in stock now, and some more on the old harddisk


I would like to have a thread where everybody simply posts their best single picture of their car, I know most can be found in galleries but still it would be nice to have such a thread IMO

My best pic is at Brünnchen and already shown in the thread on post # 2000
If you post a pic, best blank out the license plate


It may seem a bit pointless but anybody who has spend a lot of time in the galleries will understand this. Plus its nice to put names to cars more easily.

Many thanks in advance

Nice

Prefer these wheels to your previous ones, these are much more subtle yet still have a lot of presence

Not yet a BMWCCA member but strongly considering it...would love to go to the VIR event.

Also, thanks for your help in another thread re: steering wheel swap. I was able to replace the OEM wheel with a 370mm M Tech 2 wheel from an e30. The new wheel is fantastic and I feel like I have much better control of the car.

It's definitely been a while since I've posted. Here are some updated photos of my gem.

Recently did some suspension refreshing, going to do a full aluminum exhaust mandrel bent from headers back, also running BC Racing Coilovers custom valved to 750lbs F/ 650lbs R.

Front - Lemf e31 LCA, Lemf UCA with AKG Spherical Bushings, Lemf tie rods, Lemf center drag link, and Lemf pitman arm.

Rear - AKG 95A Poly Subframe bushings, Factory Lemf trailing arm bushings, Lemf diff mounts/bushings, reinforced rear center mount (by Chris at Castro Motorsport), new M5T rear sway bar, new handbrake cables/shoes, rotors/pads, etc.

Earlier in the week:



I finally got it stuck-stuck this morning trying to get to work, 10 feet from my spot. I high-centered it, there was a good 15-18" (snow and then blown snow) in front of the car and I thought I could plow through. The lowered, RWD Snowpanzer is undaunted, I just need to get out the shovel.

Flawless from 220k to 230,500 and 2 years after the top end, and a dead fuel pump I should have seen coming finally stranded me. First time in 8 years of driving old-azz high mileage German cars that I've had to call a tow.

After a wax and a cabin filter replacement. Guess which one was painful!

It has the standard wheels 8 x 17, just not the dustbin lids alleged good for cooling but in fact a myth, throw star covers are much better for air flow.
just my opinion and don't like the turbine covers anyhow.


After 26 years its a bit of a miracle its as good as it is to be truthful, really nice car on the road although not as much bite as the other 3.8 version hanging around the back yard somewhere.
