M-stripes on an E34 M5

pigapumbu · 27th April 2007, 15:03

Has anyone painted or requested BMW Individual to paint their White E34 M5 with the M-Sport triple lines over their car in the past. I would love so see a picture of it if, there is. Something like the one attached.

I always wanted to do it with a white M5 but could never tell how it would look though. If there is a pic lying somewhere in here, would appreciate a linky. THanks

cheers

It is quite popular to add -motorsport-colour-stripes- across the car on white E30-M3s and others.
E34-1992-NAGHI-M5 (3.6. Saudi-version) in Alpine-white has the left front of the bonnet painted with ///M-colours.

I am planning on putting a LTW flag on my M5 in the near future. This car will be considered my heavyweight however!

Thank you very much for the link. First time I came across a Nahgi M5. Nice stripes and I have seen it on another M5 in CarDomain (from USA). I would have prefered to put the stripes largely over the side to back,.. very much like on the M1 picture I attached. Now that would be daring and I just think on the E34 Mcar, it would look spot on.

Anyway, God willing, I plan to get one E34 M5 and if it happens to be white, I plan to get those stripes painted across the car.

Cheers

There should be loads of pictures of E30 race-M3-cars in -alpine-white- with
M-stripes right across and over the roof of the entire car. A friend of mine in Germany used to have his E30 M3 painted in the same way. It looks great. Good luck.

True. Will look at them but I would like to see what it would be like on an E34. Perpahs I need to get a friend to do a photoshop edit for me.

I have a couple of pictures of some black M5's with the stripes on them, it might give you an idea

Thanks John. Somehow stripes on a white Mcar looks better. That said, I wish to put the stipes from right front bumper over the bonnet and down the left front fender. And another from the right rear door (bottom) over part of the roof, and down over the left side of the boot.

Thats the kind of stripes I would have liked to do. Much like that found on the old racing cars (BMW) of the past as in the M1, E30 etc. hmm.. did BMW race any E34 M5? off to do a google search.

cheers.

ps: Your car looks nice. Detailing is very good.
