I do like the e46 transplant, although the e34 switcharoo suits my tastes a little more i think..

Yeah. The fellow who owns it is "bmwdirtracer" on BF.c. Also, the rear wing is a custom made CF one...He says it makes a huge difference even at autox speeds.

C Piller Roundels. I like.

Definitely a beast of a machine, although I don't think his wheels are wide enough for dirt racing.

He doesn't dirt race it anymore. He's running 285's all around IIRC. And he still manages to break them loose.

Thanks guys!

Austin, any idea what kind of number's he putting down? Very interesting. That e34 front is not bad either. I will have to look at that again when I get up and about (on bb). It may look different on a real screen.

Well according to the MM numbers it's about 285HP...But that could be more or less depending on what else he's done. Just shoot him a message on BF.c

Most astonishingly, that somehow rocks.

Wonder what an E34 M kit would look like.

People do E34 bumper swaps all the time...I'm sure somebody has done an M bumper swap. IMO, the E34 bumper swap isn't so hot, but I guess if you're looking for a cheap way around an M Tech kit that's the answer...

US Bumpers with Euro M5 Spoiler

Post by Shawn D. »

I finally got around to getting a decent pic of my US 535i sporting its Euro M5 spoiler. The spoiler is installed on a US valance, not a Euro valance -- the two are variations of the same stamping and there is no difference between the two where the spoiler mounts.

Image

Note that I opted to not open up the slots in the middle of the spoiler that correspond with the slots in the valance. I saw no difference in water temperatures and the in-town oil temperature is the same, but the highway oil temperature went up by 15°F (~180° to ~195°).

oh, I actually have one of those front spoilers at home, I just need to get an pre 1985 front bumper (the part where the fog lamps and the blinker are bolted for the euro e28) so I can put it on my e28.

That part is not the bumper, but the valance.

The front looks like the Zender air dam sitting in my shed. And the back looks like the Zender, also.
