I'm a 5 Series owner now

[El Supremo]

Picked up an E34 Touring about a week ago or so. I'm really happy with the car, and already got the mod bug working overtime right now. I just gotta get my daughters car finished first.
Here's what it looks like right now:



And here's something along the lines of what I want to head towards:

Any ideas for other mods, or best places to get body mods and performance parts?

I like the 2nd pic much better, wheels make a difference.

Who's e46 is that in the background of the 1st pic?

The wheels threw me off.

Right. e36, cool.

The blue one is my sons, and the beige one is going to be my daughters. Hers will be put together once I get tires for her rims, and a bit of time in the booth to spray the parts I have for it.

I don't know about those rims in the p'chopped pic, looks too low rider-ish to me. But that's just me

Nice 5er and welcome to the club, bro! As you can see here, I'm rolling in the E60 5 series and loving it too. You might want to shop around at Dinan for some proven and reliable performance parts.

I've only had my Dinan mods for a couple of months now, but heard nothing but stellar things about their overall reliability, performance gains and warranty backing on their product line.

A solid, well earned reputation with over 26 years of tuning experience in N.A. Again, enjoy and welcome!

Congrats on the fiver. I agree with Gold Panda, I like the dinan mods for engine. But for suspension and wheels, there are a ton of great companies. Is your touring a 525it or a 540i? Is is an automatic or manual? You can make your touring a sleeper for sure.

Nice photochop skills

Your "T" needs window tint badly... (lots of possibilities for mods)

Welcome to the 5 series. Great lookin car man, amd good choice on the e34!!

[El Supremo]

Well, I'm not gonna quote everyone, but I'll try to answer all of them.
Dudesky, yeah, the rims are big, but it's just a p-chop. I'm leaning towards ACS Type IIs in 19". We'll see when I get to the point of purchase, but I love the classic look of them.

Dinan540 & Gold Panda: Thanks for the Dinan tip. I haven't seen much for performance mods for the E34. Suspension isn't a problem, but stuff like CAIs seem non-existent. I've heard the ECIS/AA CAI for E36s will fit with a little modding, though.
The car is a 525iT, with auto. I might do a manual conversion in the future, if it needs it (which it will, eventually).

c1apton: Tint is one of the first mods on my list.

Everyone: Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it.

Here's the mods I'm thinking of doing:
GC coilover kit w/Konis
Blackout grill, and shadowline trim
Euro bumper trim
exhaust and CAI
19" ACS Type IIs
tint
stereo
Colormatch lower sections
Either a different front bumper, or possibly a lip. I'd like to find an ACS front bumper, but they're like Unicorns nowadays.

Congrats on the new ride!

BMWLotAttendant, you noob. It's obviously an e36 m3 lookalike (I didn't see the vaders)

The biege one looks like an e34 5'er.

I like the pchop of your 5, it looks sickass.
