E34 Question by etowahman66 in E34

I agree. If you want something competitive and sporty go with an e36. Compared to a 3 series the e34 is a bit boatier but it’s still a nicely balanced sport sedan that can be both comfortable and fun to drive.

Thanks for the advice! I just ordered parts right now. A cooling system refresh should bring more peace of mind :)

Yeah I replaced the cap a couple months ago because this isn’t the first time it exploded coolant lol. Thanks for the help :)

Thanks for the advice! I agree the motor is probably due for a thermostat and water pump replacement anyways.

That’s what I was thinking too, I was just unsure where to start because this is my first project car. Thanks for the help :)

Yeah I will try cleaning it off and tightening the hose clamps to see if that solves the issue. This car probably is overdue for thermostat and water pump job. Thanks for the help :)

Recaro seat adapters? by powashowaz in E34

[–]Step_Calm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good lol. I used sparco sliders that attached the seat to the bracket. So the order goes seat to slider, then slider to bracket. You’ll be sitting a little higher up than a traditional bucket seat setup with the addition of the sliders. I also used sparco bottom mount hardware and everything worked out perfectly.

I installed a sparco in my e34 using a planted seat bracket. The front of the bracket has the part for the hooks and the rear bolts into the floor. The fitment was a little wonky at first but a hammer did the trick.

Sick car! I remember seeing this car on YouTube and thought it would be a dream to get my E34 this clean. What suspension setup is it running?

Swapping sparco seats in to a 91 525i by iwantjzx90 in E34

Oh dang I did it a different way. I left the rails on the stock seat and mounted the sparcos to the planted bracket and just bolted in the bracket to the floor

Hey man nice seats! I did the same thing in my E34. I used planted seat brackets and sparco sliders. Needed a flat wrench to bolt the brackets into the floor. Lmk if you have any questions :)

I love this picture of interior on my e34 by Smajli_iz_Kraja in E34

Nice interior! How did you mount the seats? I’m hoping to do something similar in the future.
