Hello Guys, i wanna share my e34 builds that has been going on for a year..
some of you may know my previous car
anyway, that previous car was a project with my big brother, now he has worked and bought another e36, meanwhile i decided to go bigger with 5 :P
a bit slow build, since i'm still in college hehe..
it's a diamond black e34 520i M50B20 year 1994.. at first when i got it, it's not in a good shape, but yeah.. overall looks nice, 16"e38 oem wheels, cracked bumpers front and rear, some dents, etc, etc..
then after about two months later i got m technic bodykits from a friend of mine and a new old stock of it's rear spoiler!
decided to go a bit different, since it's not my country spec's.. american style headlamps :P
and yeah, a D.I.Y. Smoked Headlamps + Blackout Grille!
in the mean time, i was bored with small and standard wheels, so i'm looking for a tuner wheels.. then my friend came to me and offered me ac schnitzer type 3 19X8.5 et13 square setups, at first i have no interest at all, but when he give me the price of just 650$ i decided to go big! inspired by one of a member here, weksos.. here's the pic..
car sure do need friends rite? so i took it to meet the other european fellas, a couple pic of it..
Bimmerfest 2010, yes we have bimmerfest too rite here in Indonesia!
then just a couple of months ago, i got bored with the type 3 and wanted to go for a different look, two piece maybe> yes, a hartge classics.. i know it's 19" again :P
and yeah, i got this rare parts! Hella Smoked Taillights FTW!!
*sorry for the dirty car :P*
now, after i got my engine stroked up to 2.5 spec, 19" is too heavy for the performance gain, so i decided to go smaller on 18" Style 32 Staggered Setups, i got this for a bit stepped up price since it's a rare wheels in my country..
still ordering the tires, so it's not mounted yet.. maybe this week or next week
more pic later on as i'm going to repaint it for the Bimmerfest 2011
c&c are welcome! Thanks..
ps: i'll add the engine build photos later on, haven't took it from my friend :P

You know normally I hate 19 inch wheels on E34s but your car seems to pull them off nicely, I think it's the color, what is it?
Well done sir.
I own mostly junk. Except the Porsche, that's kind of cool.
All the motorcycles are trash which you can read about at

I'll update it eventually

The style 32s in 17" were supposed to be HEAVY, the 18's arent? I don't know, honestly curious.
Car looks fantastic!
Nice to see someone in the UK doesnt drive some stupid micro-hatchback!!!!

missed this topic, those Hatges looked soooooooo damn good! why the color change? is the paint so damaged?
do you know the diametr of the exhaust tips? looks like ideal diameter to have on the car, is it full exhaust part or just welded on tips?
I think you need more cars in that shop.
Thanks, yeap the paint ain't good enough, from the first time i got it, it has been repainted but not a good one, some dents and rust too.. did the paint correction, the miss matched colors are more visible! Haha, so i decided to repaint it again in another color since i'm bored with the dark one..Originally Posted by ARMAN
I forgot the diameters, i think it's around 75-80mm, i'll measure it again when i get to the shop.. yep it's welded tips, i got a custom exhaust done from the headers to the rear, originally it's a single tip outlet, then i make the Y to make it dual..
Haha, yes there are more bimmers on the parking lot, the shop ain't big so couldn't hold many cars :POriginally Posted by Steve547i
