E34 525i(M): Then & Now

[maxxsp]

There are some really good reviews about BC coil overs! What r your spring rates? Did u opt for the extended adjustment for the rear? (adjusting the rear damping on my hotbits is a PITA!)

I didn't really have time to look over the kit, dropped it off at my mechanic's place and left. It does come with rear adjustment knobs though.
Will check it out and update you.

I had it done through my mechanic @ BM World.
The Valve cover is powdercoated red and the manifold is sprayed black in high-temp paint.

Update: The MAF is FINALLY on the car after alot of stuffing around due to a faulty MAF sent by Miller Performance.
The car now pulls hard!

Coilovers also fitted and feels good. Hard but the bounciness is gone. Have lowered the car more in front but will soon go lower + spacers.

Pics of MAF & the car with coilovers to follow.

Update: The front coilovers had to be modified as they could not go low enough. Had to get the stock spring perch cut and a custom one welded on.
Fitted some spacers as well as smaller tires to get stanced. However looks like theres still too much front tire so I may have to go down a size. Anyone want to purchase some brand new Michelin PS3s? Only put about 100km on them so far!

Here are some teaser pics!

Enjoy!

The Michelin man approves of the lack of wheel gap

Have removed the Alpinas and replaced with 16" Rials only. My dad decided to buy over the car from me so that's a relief. Nice to be able to keep the car in the family considering all the time and money I have put into it.
My brother and I have bought new some new brake discs (Brembo front, TRW rear), Trextar pads & Motul Dot 4 Brake Fluid to DIY since all those wear and tear items are long overdue!
Will continue to update this thread when we get started on it.
