Happy 2012 to Everyone!. There’s a drastic change to the E34 This year. The Black is gone. A new shade of grey is on. Specifically the Lamborghini Telesto Grey as seen on the Gallardos and Murcies.

It’s quite a change for me as the E34 has been a black car for the last decade. Mixed feelings definitely, its a love/hate colour in real life. If you can notice the grille trim has been deleted for that bigger nostril look.

Other changes include satin black AC Schnitzer Type IIs Which has just been sold

Here’s how the Red interior contrast with the new grey.

An Interior so nice you have to see twice

Also remade the X-pipe to a more flowy design. new brackets also secures the system better. No more mid range vibrations and much better sound Monotoned the picture as the finish isn’t exactly new and shiny

The new tailpipes replacing the Schnitzers

And finally the Shot of the Engine.

Here’s another 2 colours The Black version was one of my first choices for the project. but was quickly replaced by the red one

Amazing looking 8 series.

Here’s a picture after a much needed wash collecting it from the workshop for an Alternator fix. I will also post more pictures of the rear spacer addition. Since the 19X9.5 Type 2 came, the spacer that used to be on, which was probably a 30mm had to be removed.

Now the rears are pretty flushed with a 15mm. You can probably notice despite the lousy picture.

There were plans to revamp the current body especially the bumpers and all but the rush for the coming festivities (next week) puts it on hold. The E34 will now, only receive a part paintjob and repairs to the existing bodykit. Not a major  job but good enough to put the car back on track considering the cracked, broken and chipped front end.

The front bumper needed the most work. Though i’m not sure how well the lower section has been prepped. The replica Schnitzer bumpers are known to produce a wavvy finish due to poor reproduction and fitment problems.

As with many Euro freaks, i am, too a big fan of Studie AG. It’s just that special touch the Japanese have when fiddling with cars. Especially their controversial approach towards the aesthetic part of it. I came across Garage36 from a lead that an old friend, Frank, provided. Louis, who runs Garage36 very recently made a trip to Japan, to visit the Tokyo Auto Salon.

I never got the chance to visit Studie during my last two trips to Tokyo. The Next time, i wil. But Thanks to Louis’s coverage, i now have an updated view of Studie AG. Very refreshing as compared to the older Studie Magazines i have owned.

Now this E30 M3 Gran Turismo simulator is their coolest piece of machinery. It used to be all white from the pictures, but it looks like they’ve since drizzled it in the classic DTM racing livery.

I don’t have this issue!

Here’s where all the action is. You can already spot what would be my favourite car in the picture.

The best. Here is a Z M Coupe, decked with ultra expensive authentic Z4 GTR carbon motorsport body panels. Finished in the kinkiest Signal Green.

Been there..

Done That.

Not the biggest fan of the bad boy bonnet frown but major points for overall stance. Those are some really deep step lips.
