    Stanced norwegian E34 535i/5 on OZ Futura's

    My old car, 520i with BC Racing coilovers and RS reps




    New car:

    BMW E34 535i
    M30B35
    Manual gearbox
    25% Limited slip Differential
    Mtech interior
    Electric sunroof
    electric windows 4x
    Cruise control
    Large OBC, dash OBC too.
    50/35 lowering springs with TUV approval (because norway shit)
    ESM 002R wheels

    Very little rust for an E34. body has rolled 345km, engine 170km. Original car exept the interiør.

    Plans:

    Chip

    and alot more fixes and upgrades

    Been a while since last update and a bunch of things have changed

    OZ Futura's 8,5x17 and 10x17, gonna change to gold bolts and 0,5 wider lips



    BC Racing coilovers:









    Right after the coilover install:


    Very good tires but wrong size, they are 235/40 on 8,5 wheel so i couldnt go lower, pics taken in august or something





    And a little later with new front tires a little lower, also got amber turning lights






    and then i lost my driving license pics taken at the spot....


    As it sits right now, only noticeable change is the stanceworks sticker on the windshield


    Also doing a carpet swap, old ones where gray and now i will have dark grey

    HOW CAN I CHANGE THE NAME OF THE GODDAMN TITLE?

    Nice I like where this is going. What size tires do you have now? I have the same wheel widths, I run 215/40 and 235/40

    I've always loved these cars I like where this one is heading!

    How hard/easy was it to reinstate your driver's license? Curious to see how the issue was dealt with in Norway.

    Just got the license back. Had to go without it for 4 months. Didnt need to take the driving test again.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Finally some progress! While i didnt have a drivers license the car stood all the time in the garage..

    -Brand new steering linkage, tie rods, center tie rod, idler arm.
    -Short ratio steering box from M5 without servotronic
    -Welded some rust on the floor.
    -Used, but better windshield wiper linkage

    Some pics:





    Carpet out, its more than it looks like








    Welded together (other side)



    Sunroof drain, now going through the frame instead of into it and causing lot of rust problems, maybe you US guys isn't so bothered with rust on these cars, but here in west norway, on salty roads, every single e34 has some sort of rust...



    And then the wiper linkage crap

    Fan out:


    Linkage on its way out:


    And of course som fiddling with this little shit.








    And of course a list of whats coming up soon:

    -Getting in the new black carpet instead of the light grey one
    -Black roof liner (spraypaint)
    -Schmiedmann header
    -Clean front bumper with no number plate (illegal in norway, fuck da police)
    -Miller MAF and chip
    -M5 3,6 flywheel with M5 clutch
    -284 degree shrick cam
    -Restore the wheels!!!
    -++++++

    Hello, i see that no one replied. You are a criminal hehe. I have a 535i too, with some mods: wiechers strutbar, m5 antiroll bars (25mm and 20mm touring nurburgring version), bilstein b6 (i have another struts from an e32 too weld coilovers some day), h-pipe inside middle silencer, air openings in chasis to cool front brakes. My pending tasks is to mount a 210mm torsen (bought), mishimoto radiator, e32 camber mod, strongflex silentblocks (bought), and now I'm struggling to install schmiedmann headers... So troubling, one header touch the chasis because a bad angle of the pipe...
