Remember my favourite E34 from Japan? It’s got Schnitzer everything and a particular front splitter-thing attached to the S5 bumper. I didn’t know the origins of it so i assumed it was a generic one. A friend of mine told me it was in fact from AC Schnitzer and he’s recently made replicas of them. The picture above shows the prototype fitted. If you ever had mixed feelings of the existing S5 bumper not making enough an impact, this lip spoiler should provide that needed ground effect.
If you are considering going for that razor-sharp look, then the good thing is it wouldn’t create much of a height clearance issue IF you are not already running that barely-skimming-the-ramp low. The existing short overhang of the S5 bumper makes it the all-time ramp friendly yet stance provoking choice especially if you’re going really low.

My recent trip to Koh Samui island turned out to be much more than a perfect holiday. I didn’t expect to see any real cars there, let alone an Euro scene in Samui. Within my 5 minute bus trip to the Baan Talay Resort (which is in my opinion the best in accomodation experience, The Talay rooms.), I’ve already laid my eyes on this Schnitzer, above. People there actually ferry their cars from mainland Thailand considering, there pretty much isn’t any flat roads to drive on the small island.
Later that day, I rented a Cub bike (or kap cai) and came back here to take some pictures. I concluded a few days later that he must run a business in that market area. A sticker in the rear also mentioned BMWE34Club.com, a prominent Thai BMW E34 club site. He must be a local a local Euro carboy. Touring the Samui Island in my rental bike for 5 days also made it easier to absorb the experience. The slower speed gives you more time to see, the ease of a bike also allows you stop or detour at any time (almost). You can even ride without helmets.

This is one of my all-time favorite E34. Though not much information or other pictures of it can be found, i managed to find pics of it by searching for “Schnitt E34″ I found the car’s profile here. Other known information is that it’s a late model E34 525i and is obviously based in Japan and is associated with a German car club named NKV - Norden Kanto Verbnd
It’s pretty obvious, what’s been done on the outside. The classic AC Schnitzer Type II Racings in 19×9 and 19×10, with 235/30 and 265/30 for sufficient stretch and everything else Schnitzer, including the antique Type 1 mirrors. I have painstakingly collected a series of pictures after the jump

Have been searching forever for a set of AC Schnitzer Type II in 19s from the E39 and up. And here they are! It’s in 8.5″ and 9.5″. It may not look like any change at all from my current 18″ type IIs but believe me, they are, in both size and design.
As pictured, the 19X9.5 rear alongside the 18×8.5s on the car. Can’t wait to collect them real soon
What you’re seeing above is my third attempt at the exhaust for the V12. (tips weren’t welded) A good change from my mangled AC Schnitzer exhaust. (it’s for sale now). The system above started with just 4 pieces of cylindrical silencers. Sounds really great but was just way too loud.
Then I had the end silencers removed and fitted the rectangular ones you see in the picture at the end. both Vertically fitted for clearance purposes. The rectangular muffler also had a restrictor fitted to further quiet it down. Sounds More muffled but just doesn’t sound right. Looks real ugly too.
This time, the 3rd time visiting the shop, I got the rectangulars welded to the front, then the little cylindrical silencers, then the X-pipe and then the longer cylindricals. This time, i’m happy. More pictures and sound video to come 
Some specs of my custom exhaust:
- 2.5″ galvanized Pipes
- Stainless Steel Silencers
- 2 x Rectangular muffler + Restrictor
- 2 x Long cylindrical muffler
- 2 x Short cylindrical muffler
- X-Pipe
- 2 x 4″ Tail pipes
Nothing like this of course.
Took some quick pics of the new interior after a week plus rolling out of the shop. i’ll take better shots soon and provide a detailed introduction to my new interior. Real leather, fake alcantara, lotsa diamonds, all stitched up. these pics were taken five minutes ago and uploaded directly. my apologies if there are flaws, i didn’t even cleap the car..
The shop sent some more updates of some completed parts. He’s done the door cards, the seats and the floor lining. I think the pillars’ done too. What’s left now is the custom roof lining that’s going to be done in Red sides and Black suede with diamond stitches running through the center.
Yes, Red is aplenty Please Enjoy
I’ve been needing a new interior or at least a reupholstering job since I ever had the car. The roof liner was repaired before, and my door cards were self repaired with staples. Here’s the latest update on my interior build. I’ve always wanted a good luxurious and in RED. Diamonds are also at the top of my list. So here it is.
Red Leather + Diamond stitching
Black Suede + red stitching
Remodeled rear seats
Here’s the Ericsson M480 full titanium system for the E92 M3. Gotta love the double barrel design which is going to be my base idea for my own stainless exhaust system. Tough the E34 only allows for a single side. I might be getting a custom fuel tank in the future to allow for twins on either side. There are also a couple of other exhaust system in the gallery, namely the Supersprint system for the E60 M5.
