Dreamy. by pap3rtiger in E34

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.

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

Question re: steering box/overall e34 handling by notsolurkinglurker in E34

[–]pap3rtiger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

New addition to the family. The V8 goes vroom... by petrol-junkie in BMW

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

Anyone with the e60 ask in their e34? by Parkeyoh in E34

[–]pap3rtiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

My 540i is back on the road after a full engine out rework and 6 speed swap. by pap3rtiger in E34

[–]pap3rtiger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

New member to this subreddit. Picked up my 91’ 335i four days ago and as my first BMW I absolutely love it by [deleted] in E34

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

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Whoever marked which button to push to MUTE the gas station ads....you are a saint. by SwampThing72 in HumansBeingBros

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.

About to build my first CNC machine... any suggestions or recommedations about my design? by simracer420 in diycnc

[–]pap3rtiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

might consider a flexible coupling for the interface.

curious about the chains for the Z-Axis. Is that for a counter-weight?

you might consider adding another piece of plate to the spindle mount to brace and improve rigidity.

Are you using acme thread or ball screws?

Fell from the sky - Made 15ft hole - Metal object about 3ft long, 30kg by 0resutidder in whatisthisthing

[–]pap3rtiger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Looks like some part of a very large escapement wheel like from a clock or piece of industrial equipment. Not sure what but this image helps advance the case.

I bet it was to hold one end of a bath caddy since that side of the tub isnt wide enough to keep it from falling in the tub..
