Hello everyone,

I am Michel 23 years old and living in the Netherlands,
Since december 2014 i am a happy owner of a E34 saloon its a 2.5 M50 and i am the second owner car is build in 1994 and the color is Dunkel blau.
before the E34 i had a E36 318 also a saloon.

see here under what i want to do with the car, or what i already did

Fix the rust
BC Racing coilovers
18 Inch wheels M parallels or alpina's
Brake update, thinking about 540I brakes tips are more than welcome
Black headlights and fogglights
Black leather interior
Leather underdash
refrigerator in the rear armrest (OEM)
rear door sun shades
JVC Becker Radio

I already got the most of the parts on this list only need tho build these into the car.

Time for some pics









My old e36







And some pics of the parts that i already got

First update was the fridge







Black headlight

JVC Becker radio


The fridge again





Full leather dash pieces

and last update the rear door sun shades

And some pics of the restoration of the body






the rust is already fixt unfortunately it was more rust then i expected.

on this moment i am fixing the leather (cleaning and painting again)
the leather is in good shape but before i mount it into the car i want to got it 100% perfect.



this is it for now but when i got new updates i will post it right here

Nice upgrades you are doing to your car, I would donate a complete leather interior but shipping cost too much.

[coolvegase34]

Nice. But i notice you don't have an obc. You have an analog clock instead

[H0lladay]

Are you going black door panels too? Or are you struggling to find those like I am? lol

What color? My seats are completely shot. Next step after I get the drivetrain working on mine.

@FRCHdragon Thx, but i got a complete leather interior for the car including the door panels.
@coolvegas Yes dont got a BC the first owner was a little bit greedy with the options
@Holladay yes i got the panels but not full leather

On this moment i am looking for the style 37 and maybe some sport seats instead of the comfort seats.

[attetjapnurd]

YESSS i got the styling 37's!!

only these are Original from the e38
so in the front 8Jx18 et 13
and the rear 9.5J et 25


some pics



The rears

here i am again, style 37's are mounted only on the rear side the wheels were not free so i put some 5mm spacers on it
front i mounted 235 tires and at the rear side 265 here some pics with the wheels






So i am almost happy the rear side of the car is perfect i like the fitment and the hight but then the front its ugly as FCK its to high so thats why i ordered yesterday a new eibach sportline kit with the bilstein shocks it will lower the car 40/50 in the front and max 30 at the rear. I hope the stance wil be perfect.

also im gonna get tommorow some new doorpanels, this are from a M5 full leather here some pics of that







also the car wil get a alpina steering wheel but i dont received it yet

Hi Michael,

The fridge is cool, no pun intended.

Can you tell me if you can see the bmw part number anywhere, I want to track one down.

Cheers,
Aaron
