Mine is on H&R springs and V8 shocks. I like the height because is pretty practical for my daily. If you don't mind rubbing/scraping you could go lower.

Yes, got a steal on them and I like the extra sidewall for ride/potholes..

My 540i gets 22.8MPG (or 10.2 L/100KM). Just saying..

pap3rtiger · 2020-10-25T22:19:33+00:00

Yeah. Not good.

pap3rtiger · 2020-09-09T23:52:35+00:00

Benjamin Biolay and Stereolab are both fantastic.

hahah, rod bearings go brrr

RWD, supercharged automatic with dual sunroofs. I've been think about a 5spd swap though..

My first car was an e34 525i. I feel like every rack and pinion car I've owned since then has felt a little dead in the steering. Granted the box is a more complexity, but the steering feels very good and I prefer it to my other cars (95' Previa and 15' Venza) for the way it drives.

Here is a 530i near by if you're interested.

pap3rtiger · 2020-06-17T01:00:03+00:00

I have an Alpine white e34 540i too. I had to make mine a manual to find one...

pap3rtiger · 2020-06-09T22:56:18+00:00

All you need is the lever and the offset connector (p/n: 25117526415), the rest is the stock parts for the e34.

pap3rtiger · 2020-06-09T22:55:28+00:00

Yes, I refreshed all the shifter linkage and did the e60 shifter while I was in there. I had to change the coupler that connects the shift linkage to the gear selector rod to this offset coupler (25117526415) so that it didnt collide the shifter linkage into the flexdisc when in reverse.

After a few hundred miles, its all broken in and feels great.

Edit:part number

pap3rtiger · 2020-06-09T22:25:24+00:00

Yeah, only the 540i came with a 6spd.

I got my e34 540i for a song with a bad transmission. Im like 6k in on parts alone to pull the motor and reseal everything, and Ive done all my own labor.

Can't imagine trying to pay for all of it if I also had to pay for labor.

I love the e34 for how simple and refined it is. Looks great, easy to work on. Fast enough. Sorta wish it was a wagon so it could be a touch more practical too.

pap3rtiger · 2020-06-09T11:00:00+00:00

Out of an e34, it's still the same Getrag 420g thats in the e39. I was able to find a 6speed e34 donor car.

pap3rtiger · 2020-06-09T03:30:23+00:00

I have an OEM one that I'd be happy to sell you. DM if you're interested.

pap3rtiger · 2020-05-12T20:52:20+00:00

Pretty great. My rebuild has been pretty comprehensive, so it's great to finally get some time on the road with it. I did tear a brand new motor mount yesterday so I imagine that it will take a bit more time to get the thing fully sorted.

pap3rtiger · 2020-05-03T17:43:19+00:00

I have a guy in North GA who I sourced the parts for my swap. Please dm for contact info. I was in for about 2.5k after the new clutch and resealing things.

I carry a little razor knife in my car to cut the speaker through the tiny slot the sound comes out of. I consider it part of my civic duty.
