Taking periodic updates to the next level, this is taking too long, the last post was a month ago, my apologies to those who are waiting for something new. As for new stuff done to the car recently,

  1. AC Shnitzer Bodykit (authentic, used and unpainted metallic black)
  2. RCS Custom Suspension (3rd and possibly final set of coilovers – i am finally satisfied)

There was a recent drive to Penang for the premiere of Nicholas Cage’ Drive Angry movie. About 15 supercars consisting of 911s and F430s were present for the convoy with the addition of a beautiful F458 Italia.

E34 at the JPM CIMB Preferred Bukit Tinggi Hill Climb Challenge 2010

Posted on by

The Hill Climb is the first event the E34 has ever participated in. Probably because there isn’t any suitable events for the not so nimble black BM. The JPMCIMBPHCC is as prestigious as any car event can get for the masses. The Hill Climb attracts and prefers Exotic, rare classics and modern sports cars. So it was awkward in a way to have the old and humble E34 there rubbing shoulders with Millions of dollars worth of high performance metal.

But I really wanted to stretch its legs a little, especially at a hill climb, which it enjoys. I have also recently rebuilt and firmed up the coilovers and put on new front camber plates, replaced the steering box and can’t think of a better time to enroll than to miss this annual event.

Been sometime since i posted updates on the E34. Well progress has been slow recently apart from rebuilding the Hotbits coilovers as well as increasing the damping rates to keep the car planted at speeds. New rear brake pads and some maintenance on the steering box done. I foresee more tightening to be done in the coming weeks, with possibilities of a new steering box, new bushes and links :) enjoy the 2 pics!

E30 M3 DTM Center Lock wheels just refurbished – finally

Some of you may remember from this post, where i acquired a set of 5 E30 DTM single lug / mono lug / center lock wheels last year in April. Today, i finally collected them from the shop. They have been sandblasted and refurbished back to their glory days. I decided to have them finished in racing white.

This is how these babies would look when mounted! I was intending to mount them on my E34 just for fun if I could find the locsking hubs for the wheels. Which can be purchased from sites like these – Racecarsdirect.com M3 E30 Center Lock HUBS BBS. But looking at them now, it’ll be a great addition to my still, WIP E30. Continue reading →

Whiteline Anti Roll Bars for the E34 – A Great upgrade!

Found a set of an almost-new Whiteline front 27mm anti roll bar on the bmw-sg forums and I had to have it. Whiteline don’t make them anymore for the E34 since 2008. I also missed my purchase during my trip to Sydney some years ago. I have been looking for a proper adjustable ARB for a long time now after having experienced the ride in a friends’ car.  This piece i found was so new, it was merely test-installed, it was then left in storage for a couple of years.
