Overseas E28 M5s could be had in other colors.

And thanks for the compliments guys.

here is a pic to drool at.

oh, and with regards to the M5 wagon, Rob, Tim, myself and a few others see one every day...as long as Matt P posts...

[shragon]

nice alpina!

LOL @ matt p statement.

[shragon]

oh, and here is one of my favorite e34 tourings. it's a 525iT w/ m3 motor.

If those tourings are just for going to the snow and picking up the shopping!! I'd like to see what the sports car is!! j/k

Soz I havent got many pics of heavliy modded E34's, well there arent many to take down here...they are all E36 in AUS I am sure there out there just not that many.

OT: I saw a black e34 that had a badge on the front right and left panels that said "Supercharged"...The car was in stock condition so I presume it was a stock job...I didnt realise they brought out stock supercharged models? Was it some limited edition thing? anyone know?

those are the rims i am gettin, i dunno if those are M parallels or 7 series sports though... i dunno what i am getting

[Gamite]

7 series sport rims ARE m parallels, look for replicas because they will come in a better offset for your car and will be way cheaper. But they look amazing on E34, they were my first choice in rims, but I decided to go with HM2's after I saw shragon's.

still tryin to find e39 M5 touring picture, not easy to find. Now thats something you dont see everday

[Alan]

Regarding 7 series sport rims/M parallels...

The ones on the M5T pictured are in fact factory equipment. They were made for the 95 M5s and Canadian M540i. I believe this was the first appearance of this rim. The later 7 series sport rims are slightly different in offset. If you are buying the rims new, you can still order the M5 ones, although the 7 series ones arent that different an offset. Many people get away with the 7 series ones. I've seen replicas in person and it is VERY obvious that they arent the real deal. The spokes look weird and the finish just doesn't even come close to the factory rims. I say get factory ones regardless of them being made for the 5 or 7.

///BMW, before you get wheels on the 5 get some on that benz, those wheels look like fire truck wheels or something, and maybe lower that beast, looks like your about to take it off road.

[shragon]

yup, m parallels first appeared on the '95 m5 and '95 m540i, then they appeared on the e38. i personally think they are one of bmw's best looking rims. i was actually going to get some replicas of the m parallel, however i found a deal for hm2's that i couldn't resist and got those instead.

haha i know its got like a 4 inch gap, but its my dads, and he will not do anything to it whatsoever, its a euro spec 84 500SEC, even the fuggin guages are in german, and it has a full lorenzo package, with 76,000 miles, it will most likely be put under a car cover as it is a collector car now, or will be, i haven't even got to drive it except through a neighborhood lol.

As for the wheels, a 17 yr old can't really afford factory wheels, i am getting 18x8 7 series sport or m parallels for a little over 8 bills i just gotta find some tires.

[bmwm3n528]

you ever seen ///M contours on a e34 5? I bet that would look good. Also you can get some replicas for not too much
