1995 Glacier Blue E34 530i Manual - Nirvash

[nirvash]

hi , I was driving the white e46 M3 , your car also has e34 M5 springs fitted with the power brake discs , made a big difference on that cars handling , the seats we bought from NMU and the clear front indicators and taillights I bought on ebay [he removed these before he sold the car]. Still miss the sound of that car , the 540 manual individual my friend owns now just not seem to get that same crazy tone.

hi,

ah yes, your car is awesome, not often you see an white e46 m!

i love the e34 sport seats, best seats ive ever owned! i recently did the rear section of the exhaust, as the old one was full of holes and rusted, the car still has its front resonators, and full stock system from the front till the rear, then i deleted the mid box, and put on a slightly bigger rear box, car has great bass down low then screams up top, love the sound

i must say that the car handles very well, lots of body roll, but good grip and very fun, brakes are good to

So I put spigot rings on the wheels and it sorted out the 80-100kmph wobble!! Yay! So glad it was a simple inexpensive fix!:smilebounce:

Where did you find these spigot rings? I need them for these new wheels of mine.
I suddenly also have a 80kph shimmy.

Some pics from the other day painting some chips on a few of the trim pieces

I'm busy with that part of my car as well. I'm doing it gloss black. The B-Pillar tends to chip/corrode at the bottom where it meets the door.
Good luck.

Fitted my rear wheels, but need spacers for the front:blueCry: they are hitting the shock body in the front
8j et15
8j et33

225/45/17
245/40/17

Want to go 245 all round when I get new tyres,
I think the style fits the car well

Need to refurb them, thinking going gun metal grey with them, or stay silver

Looks good. Keep them silver bud. Darker colour will make the look smaller imo

Ya, I also am leaning towards silver, 17s suite the car nicely and making them look smaller mite not be the best idea

So I got my front wheels on today with 20mm spacers, I think they fit perfectly, when I fit springs I think it will look great.
Now I just need to space the rear, going to try 20mm and 30mm then see what looks best.
The fronts are 8j et33 with 20mm spacers. 225/45/17 ( I would like to fit 245's)
The rears are 8j et15. 245/40/17
Racing dynamics RGR 17

Love the simple look and style
Need to get low, space the rear, then take some nice pics

So I went from my style 5's to the racing dynamics rgr's, the to A line Jedi's -9j et25 square set with 12mm f 20mm r spacers, to now the BBS RX 203 8j et10 with 12mm f 20mm r spacers

 

[nirvash]

Changed it up today to no spacers front and 12mm rear,
I think it's perfect now, and will be able to lower the car with now rubbing now I hope,
Now just to save up for some h&r springs

Waiting for some parts then will get the lsd, m5 sway bars and koni yellows fitted

Update,

This week I got my Koni yellow shocks, M5 sway bars and power flex sway bar bushes installed,
I also replaced my tired power steering pump with a good second hand replacement (still very expensive), also the reservoir and lines.

The shocks and sway bars compliment each other so well, and the car feels a lot tighter, a lot more composed and predictable, with less roll, I'm enjoying it a lot, I must also add that I was coming from old Monroe shocks. I can imagine with a set of h&r springs that the car would be really nice,
Also when I get the 3.64 lsd fitted

Very happy with it all in all, was just a lot of money though!
