What do think about my Bro's BMW

[HyeLifeLS]

This is my brother's car, it's a 94 BMW 530i V8 sport with manual transmision. It has 120000km/75000mi on it. What do you guys think of it. It has 17" M5 wheels from the same generation M5s. Sorry for the small pictures I couldn't upload the normal sized ones.. There are more pictures of it in "My Garage". Thanks for looking.

1994 BMW 5-Series changes: New V8 engines became available, in the 530i sedan and
wagon, and 540i sedan. The 530's got a 3.0-liter V8, rated at 215 horsepower.

What's up with the red tape under the hood?

 

[Frogman]

The red tape makes it faster.

Red = speed...

:lol:

 

[KD00LS]

Clean car I like it alot.

 

[HyeLifeLS]

The red tape doesn't make it any faster, but I don't know why it is over there. He just bought the car and he brought it in from Germany like three days ago. The tape is gonna go for sure but why they put it over there I have no idea, those are the holes where the screws for the cover go in.

Thanks for good feedbacks.

You are right, the BMW gave V8s to 5 series in 94, but that was in US market. The European market got those V8s in 92, the 530i and 540i. They had a 530i before 92 and it was a 6 cylinder chain driven engine like the ones used in 535i (88-93 in US) just with 3.0 instead of 3.5. But after 92 in Europe there was no more 6 cylinder 530s or 535s.

I have no idea why that red tape is there.

Hey Artur your brother has a nice car.

I just learned about this yesterday but I had no idea on the LS that if you put the key in the door and turned it to the left for a few seconds that all the windows and the sun roof would open and turning it to the right closes everything. I am sure you already knew. You see I always use the remote to open the doors that I had never used the key before. Are there any other tricks with the LS that you know about that I would not know.

if you push and hold the unlock button on the remote for 3-4 seconds it will also roll down all the windows and open the sunroof

Thats a clean E34(i could be wrong), I remember when you first posted those pics a long time ago.

 

[HyeLifeLS]

You are right man, it is a e34.

Yea, he changed few things on it. He got clear taillights, black chrome OEM exhaust tips, 540i sport front lower brake cooling things under the fog lights and license plates.

I WISH he had mesh wheels. That car would look SOOO sex if he got 18" GOLD BBS LMs wheels.

 

[HyeLifeLS]

well, I don't know about that man. These wheels are the European optional wheels that also came on the M5. They are 2 piece 17x8s.

im just a huge fan of BBS wheels on BMWs

 

[KD00LS]

I'd like to see some newer replica 745 wheels from 1010tires.com on there. I wonder if they'd match up right.

 

[owlman]

It looks good. Does he have any other mods planned?

 

[NYC LS8]

I'd like it better if it was an 850

 

[nickandersonLS01]

WOW that car is SO clean, I love BMW's I will for sure have one at one point. Thats a hot beamer

 

[HyeLifeLS]

Thanks guys. As for the mods, e36 M3 steering wheel later on.
