Hi guys thought I'd post some pics of my car here for all to see, any suggestions on how to improve cosmetically as well as how to get more power out of it as I've done a chip already at Budler Motorsport and it made a huge difference. +-30kw more on the wheels.

Once again I say that the E34 had been done right here! Very nice Mohamed. BTW, that first pic looks like it was taken by a traffic camera... :spit:

Hi 'kabal' thanks man, no they're not VS wheels they're 18" A-line wheels which I had re-done with original VS caps. LOL

Hi Hellas, thanks and yes the first pic was actually my first traffic violation with this car. Came out very nice just a bit expensive though.:nono:

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

Very nice M5, what engine mods have you got so far?

Black out the window trim.:pimp:

Hi Gizmo

I haven't done anything to the engine, Budler Motorsport replaced the chip and the results were outstanding 30kw more with a chip only, so I was quite happy. Some people underestimate the E34 because of it's size and quite a few were surprised by it's ability even off the line. I am very happy with it's performance especially because of it's age. If anything I'd like to replace the stock exhaust system (it still has the original exhaust on it). Any suggestions? nothing too loud.

I wanted to black-out the window trim, however I think it matches the wheels perfectly and it still retains a bit of elegance. I don't know?

here comes ant with the spanner again :mmm:

LOL.....the fun part of being on a forum, people get to put forth questions as well as suggestions. Some useful and some not, I guess it's up to the owner to decide. Glad I joined this forum and as they say "Local is always Lekka". :clap:

Ok, a dual 57mm s/s freeflow system would do wonders, sound wise and performance wise, yet not being loud. You have no idea how heavy that stock exhaust really is!!! Wildcat near primrose did mine on my 330i, it sounds beautiful, R3000.

Also, do a viscous fan delete to the motor, fit a large slimline electric fan to the rear of the radiator. This helps alot for throttle response and a few extra kw. CAI would also benefit a few kw, give you that awesome ITBs sound too.

hahaha........now I can see why they call you Gizmo, man I understood the exhaust part of it but the CAI and ITB's? please elaborate. Is the company's name Wildcat as well and do you have an address/contact no. perhaps? Please.

Thanks alot man.
Please excuse the ignorance as I never researched the brand in terms of modifications only because stock items alone are so expensive so I didn't really bother other than to just keep the car in good running condition.

Thanks Kobus
There isn't really much you can do to these cars cosmetically other than suspension and wheels and subtle changes here and there, however opinions and tastes might differ and I suppose it's up to the individual.

Thanks once again.
