E34: Wide Grille mod still unpainted.

e34-wide-grille

Here are more recent updates on the E34. Yes, it’s still unpainted. I took the effort to lay on a coat of flat black on the bonnet. Not the best effort, but good enough for a temporary look :) Loving the wide grille now since it adds to the wide and low front.

Can’t wait to get it all black and glossy again :)

    Truly awesome car you’ve built there! that lower ACS lip you were talking about somewhere in here, are you going to use one on your car? maybe your friend might be interested in selling a few of those?

    If so, i know a few who would be very interested. (myself included) ;)

    prime5: yeah, me too actually. but it’s too much of a badboy look for the car for me. thanks!

    hafsmo: yeah, i might add the lip on when i get the car painted.. where are you based? and if you want to do a group buy, can you tell me how many pieces, perhaps we could all meet up and you can then collect the lips?

    thanks

    well, I am based just about at the other side of the world (in Norway), so I belive the freight prices might be an issue.
    what kind of prices do you have on those lips?
    If I know the price I can ask around and find out how many people are interested.

    I have a 90 e34 535i and a 1984 e24 633csi I am going to be doing the M70 swap in to both of my BMW’s but the first one that I’m going to be doing is my e34. I would like to know what changes you had to make in the wiring?

    s.hafsmo: nope. it’s the replica. the originals are rare here in malaysia

    big6: The E34 will have no problems. and i’m sure the 6 will face little or no problems at all. Because the intention is to virtually everything from the donor 750i, most of the crucial engine wiring follows. i used everything from the engine, the braking system, the steering system, the cooling system, the aircon system, the instrumental gauge.
