your opinion on this "mini project" 525

ShadowHearth

Hey lads. I was thinking... ( yeah i know its amazing)

To get a 94-96 E34 525. 24V. Preferable black.

Put on some Dotz Hansa alloys.
Clear indicators.
M3 style Rare lights.
Tint it in all black ( not too much)

I would like to get it in to garadge and rebiuld engine and gear box.
Wouldnt like to put on much Engine mods. But Nice full exoust ( sorry really dont know how to spell it ) and air filter.

Now mine friend had a 525 and i actually loved it. Comfortable as hell and had a great kick. And i think thats the last generation which is proper looking BMW. ( This is opinion, and i respect everyones aswell, even if they dont agree with me )

What you think about it lads? I would actually have time for all work to be done. Becouse it would be second car. And as soon as i would have this sorted. i would give mine current car to mine misses.

P.s. what you think, would 728 survive irish roads?

Are you buying a 728 or a 525?

Either or, i think it could look very well if it's done right. Nice set of bbs wheels, lower etc. etc.

I was going to suggest you buy a "Lithuanian Special" 'cept for the LHD issue

ShadowHearth

well i would be looking for 525. And i just asked about 728. Roads are leathal in here and 728 is really a huge car, sensitive aswell . We do all know that german cars love good roads.

By the way, i am lithuanian, but i live here for allmoust 4 years. But i came here to stay lads. ( i actually havent been in mine country all those 4 years, even once)

I know that alot of lithuanians gave a bad name to 525, but moust of them were just treating poor 525s bad, driving the **** out of them, and then recycling in the scrap yeards .

i can afford better year 525, but like i said, i love E34.

p.s. really nice piscture of 525. I would aim for that aswell, but maybe dotz hansa alloys.

They wouldn't be to my taste. I think a set of BBS wheels would look 100 times better. But everyone to their own opinion.

Well thats the thing, i love the brutal and sharp shape of E34. I think that E34 has alot more spaces inside then E39 aswell...

And the thing i am thinking to do, will cost even more then E39.

Thought one problem... theres none of E34 525 manualls on carzone/autotrader. I am not even talking about black ones...

Minilites cant be beaten imo

stick to original lights and why the 525 engine ?? sure its 24v but its just a bit... Big...


why not Rover v8 it ??

only a little but of stretching and bending required...


you'll get stupidly fast performance...


3 wheeling... :pac:

well i wouldnt be so advance in engine transplants, and i dont have anyone to trust with it.

But i love the idea.

2.5 will hit the spot i think. 2.0 will be really underpowered. I would even love to find one 530 or 535, but paying 1.5k on tax... Mine misses will eat me alive...

How about these?


I have a set for sale.

8x17 fronts and 9x17 rears :pac:
