That's a beautiful car.

I never liked those wheels before they were refinished, but they're stunning now.

[BMVV4Life]

+1 they look great

[J.Bimmer]

Looks great man.

[TC535i]

Yeah, they were pretty beat... I liked the potential I saw in them.

Stunning! I'm jealous.
Hey, what's with the passenger side mirror?

The car was a previous salvage...just a clueless repair shop is my guess.

[Itsnotme1988]

That color is freakin' awesome!

Nice attention to detail. I missed that one.

[TC535i]

Yup... other mirror was trashed I guess, so they replaced it with whatever they had or something? :dunno

It doesn't plug in, so I have no power/heat. Nobody else drives the car anyway, so no biggie. Already got a pair of the M5 style mirrors, just need to figure out when I'm gonna get em painted along with my front bumper... if I'm gonna install 540i brake ducts, etc.

Tax season is kinda busy for an accountant...! :eyecrazy

I can see now..



Damn.. everytime I see those lips. i just droool.... And they're like mirrors.:buttrock

[BimmerMeUp]

Those rims are over the top! Sweet!

Quick question...What spring setup are you running...

[TC535i]

:confused

They are BBS. They're similar to the "Style 5" BBS made for BMW, but these have a deeper lip, are 17x8.5 all around, and are one-piece (no rivets).

I think the suspension's stock... just sagging? :rofl

I think you just don't see the gap because it's so dark... you can see it in daytime pics.

ehh. I think the RZ crosslace are the stock 15's...

[E34N]

So I had to find out... I emailed BBS a picture to get some validation.

They are the BBS RZ.. but not crosslace. This is what he called them:

RZ (RZ412) (with a polished lip)

No longer a mystery Tim...

540 ducts would look great.

Oh yeah - BMA has the front plate insert pretty cheap.

I have it on the 535, ready to swap over... but I need to finish registering/titleing it here in CA before I start attracting TOO much police attention. It has intake, exhaust, clears, and euros... but LA cops like to issue front plate tickets, so that stays on for now.

Funny you mention that about the 540i ducts... I took them off the 535 and am contemplating installing them on the 540 since I'm getting the lowers repainted soon anyways...
