Ok, so somewhat inspired by Jaliya48's post on his corolla, I thought of creating a thread on my BMW 520i (E34). I have quite a few plans for her, but I'll keep it simple for now, proceeding slowly (a

I've always had a thing for the 'round light' BMWs! Looks great. IMO the wheels don't suit your car after the bodykit, but it's not bad for now. The second photo is fantastic! Where was this snapped

So a small update.

Until I can get a hold of those smoked rears (a set just went for almost $400 on ebay :speechless-smiley-006: ) I decided to update the rear end with the M5 style filler plate. Ok, I'm probably gonna look daft for banging on about what is essentially just a piece of plastic, but bear with me.

The original M5 (and only the M5) had a filler panel in between the tail lights to make the rear look a bit more fleshed out, and is actually a peice that's often overlooked by many. Again, it wasn't cheap, and came from Germany (Mine's a bit special, but more on that later) but I must say I'm pretty pleased with the result. Anyway, enough of me talking: Time for some pics!

18 years of dirt hidden beneath the No. Plate holder:

Nice and clean:

And the finished result (after my friend and I spent ages trying to align it properly):

As I said, I'm pretty pleased with the result, but now wondering whether to change the number plate colour.... Opinions?

does look pretty nice when its filled out...

why'd you take off the '520i' though?

Wanted a cleaner look, and the badge wasn't on straight in the first place (especially the i). Not noticeable from a distance, but something I sorta picked up on.
