Coming along nicely! Jealous of the fact you find these shells with all good parts like black interiors for so damn cheap lol
You should get facelift kidney grilles, that'll complete the facelift look nicely.
1995 525i 5-speed - Thread
Back on.
So I wanted to upgrade the front speakers, Kicker 5.25" Coaxial, its a nice improvement for the money.
I also swapped GM3's because mine was funky with the mirror tilt.
Hey my old interior
MMMMMMMM
And its time for headlight adjusters!!
The fallen soldiers
Couldn't have done it with these wonderful guys
It's time, oh yeah its time. 6 SPEEEEEEEEEED
Old clutch
Old 5 Speed. If someone wants it for $100, PM me!
Hey its me!
Swapped diffs to 3.07, we'll see....
All new, all new
Diggin the gold calipers
Bolting up the new trans.
It bolted in nicely
My crossmember idea ended up not working. hmmm
Close but no cigar.
So...
My driveshaft idea didn't work either, oh well. I had to get one kinda custom made, E60 530i/6 Manual Front half mated to a E39 530i/5 Manual Rear half. The shop had to swap knuckles and I got it back and it was PERFECT!
The crossmember- I didn't want to fool around, I got some steel and just made a complete new one. I didn't get a photo of it (I promise I will one day!) but the car is back on the road! I think I'm going to leave it alone for a while and just enjoy it.
Wow.
You are one busy bee.
I can't believe i'm looking at the same car from the first page of this thread. Full black interior swap, m54 swap, 5 speed, now 6 speed?! You must not have kids
That front bumper is driving my OCD up the wall. The Apline white on black with 65s is so nice, but that bumper alignment...
You are a crafty guy, find a way to make the aftermarket m5 bumper line up with the fenders on both sides, and become a savior for all of us who really want to put on the m5 bumper and can't afford/find a good OE example.
Are you going to swap over the M5 mirrors and get them painted white, or even black for that matter, wouldn't look bad.
Haven't update in forever. First 6 speed trans started whining and making noise, replaced it so I'm on transmission #2. Then my heater pipes under the manifold exploded. Fix those. And I decided in the meantime to add a subwoofer. Enjoy!!
Danced with the devil on this one OMG
Bought a rebuild kit and it worked flawlessly.

just picking up on this thread....this is absolutely amazing. Me saying something like "nice work man.!" almost seems like an insult...haha...It's incredible.
So what was the wiring like just for the m54 swap alone? I've been contemplating swapping into one and upgrading the 528 as well, since I have two motors sitting at my shop. Would like to update to MS43 as well...
