My new e34 and first mod!

[MikeHsu]

Here are some pictures of my 1989 BMW 535i that I just bought. My future plans are to convert the engine to a 745i turbo, M5 rear and front bumper. Mtech side skirt. Alcantara Mtech steering wheel and headliner.

The bumper is a little messed up. Thanks to the e34, this is now my weekend car.

I hate to do this, but I'm going to have to confiscate those seats.

Nice looking car btw.

[sacbmwdriver]

nice! is that rear head rests i see?

[Burn535i]

not too bad, and way to go with the mod, but don't forget that suspension

Burn535i: While I was getting my state inspection, I've noticed the car has Koni Shocks. I'm going to get H&R springs.

jhennig: thanks!

e34530iguy: Good eye, yes , rear head rest.

I like the way you think.

PS: What are you packing in the M roady?

[jhennig]

jhennig: thanks!

Were you planning to pm me the shipping information or did you want me to drop by to pick them up?

[MikeHsu]

SC David: Its a custom kit that I did using a TT Stage II Turbo and treadstone manifold. It dynoed 410 whp and 410 ft-lb.

Jhennig: You can have them IF you can give me some Alpina front and rear seats ;)

I guess if I can dream, then so can you. :rofl

Nice car, nice list, nice seats, nice z..... I could go on! :)

[xatlas0]

Why are you going to swap in a M106? Why not just do a TCD kit instead?

[MikeHsu]

thanks for all the comments, I hope to get this car done asap. In my opinion, its a beautiful car even though its older.

xatlas: I was just going to use a rebuild kkk27 (i think thats right) with a 745i turbo manifold. I don't need any thing that is over the top. My power goals are very conservative. The TCD kit is amazing, but it is also expensive for what I need. I'm looking to modify the car with all mainly BMW parts.

[plmuzikmaster]

your rear bumper lower doesn't match the rest of the car... :D
i'm jealous... i want a 535 over my 530...

[XR000mb]

i was just thinking about a 745i kit in a 535i. but still, dont rule out miller and turbocharging dynamics kits if you have the money. plus highfive on the threadstone manifold. thats what i got in my 525i. heavy friggin sucker.

[AlmostStock]

the car is still turbocharged?

[ShapeShifter]

Don't think it ever was.
