LUV4my5 03-11-2007, 07:15 PM Caught the wash bug, thought I'd share... ...Enjoy. ohnoes 03-11-2007, 07:18 PM Wow, nice! jcraig 03-11-2007, 07:20 PM Man I wish I could wash. But down here, it would be covered in pollen before I turned around. Looks nice. LUV4my5 03-11-2007, 07:45 PM Man I wish I could wash. But down here, it would be covered in pollen before I turned around. Looks nice. Thanks.. I know how you feel. We finally got a couple good days of weather. Knowing my luck, it'll rain tomorrow. :( Fastx525ixGuy 03-11-2007, 07:46 PM Wow, looks great.... atl530i 03-11-2007, 08:03 PM I did the same, no pics though. Analog 03-11-2007, 08:16 PM Not too many alpine 540i's around. RVAE34 03-11-2007, 08:27 PM Looks great..... Mine will be back in 3-4 weeks. It's been gone for 6 months shekky 03-11-2007, 09:14 PM Just washed all the salt off mine today and I love the way the black paint shines. Props to all the Alpines, but give me the Schwartz black any day. Weather is finally getting nice up here in NY too. RVAE34 03-11-2007, 09:23 PM Luv4my5.... You live in Carytown????? LUV4my5 03-11-2007, 10:55 PM Luv4my5.... You live in Carytown????? Norfolk/Va Beach... LUV4my5 03-11-2007, 10:56 PM Looks great..... Mine will be back in 3-4 weeks. It's been gone for 6 months Once yours is back in the mix, I will definitely stop posting pics of mine... :D danielesach 03-12-2007, 12:40 AM Clean e34 man. Looks nice. Antrieb 03-12-2007, 12:52 AM Nice. When are you going to get a few mods under your belt? sander06 03-12-2007, 04:01 AM Very nice! One of life's simple pleasures is washing your BMW and admiring the finished product. RVAE34 03-12-2007, 08:21 AM Once yours is back in the mix, I will definitely stop posting pics of mine... :D Don't do that......Your lucky you have a 540. Mine may look good, but yours still looks great and soulc blos my doors off :) Can't wait to see what you do next. LUV4my5 03-12-2007, 08:57 AM Don't do that......Your lucky you have a 540. Mine may look good, but yours still looks great and soulc blos my doors off :) Can't wait to see what you do next. Appreciate that. I actually wanted to take care of some of the mechanical stuff before I started throwing money in on mods. No point of having a sexy car sitting in front that doesn't run. :) I really don't even know where to start. I'm up in the air on the wheel setup that I want. Plus I'd really like to do a 6-speed swap, RVAE34 03-12-2007, 09:35 AM I would start with wheels and tires. Perhaps suspension as well. Definately do the Euro moulding, headlights and tails. You would be suprised how great the Euro clear tails look on alpine. By Euro Clear, I don't mean the cheesy Jewel clear ones. The ones I am talking about are the same as US OEM, but with white turn signals. See my sig...... At least you already have alpine lower panels. That is the first thing needed on the alpines LUV4my5 03-12-2007, 10:31 AM Yeah, definitely want to do the suspension, wheels and tires in the near future. It's a toss up between M-pars or style 5's. The military might be taking me to Mayport, FL here in the near future. It would be nice to have a decent setup to flaunt when I get down there. RVAE34 03-12-2007, 11:01 AM I just got OEM M-pars for mine and had them powdercoated hyper silver. I have a thread on them somewhere in the E34 category. They look amazing. I think on an alpine, the M-pars look better than the style 5's, but it is all preference. BTW, I wouldn't be mad at ya if you went with the M-pars also :) LUV4my5 03-12-2007, 11:08 AM I just got OEM M-pars for mine and had them powdercoated hyper silver.

RVAE34 03-12-2007, 11:20 AM I agree. They look 10 times better than any other US finish IMO. You should see them in person. Of coarse it did cost me $130 per wheel to do the finish LUV4my5 03-12-2007, 11:24 AM Money well spent. I'm sure I'll get a chance to see 'em if there's a meet sometime this summer. I've yet to go to one. RVAE34 03-12-2007, 11:31 AM There is a local group in RIC called Capital City Motorworks that meet once a month or so. But there are a bunch of guys who meet at a local lot here in Richmond every friday. Most of us are a bit older. 25+ and there are some nice cars. My pops Z's, several Lotus's, ferraris, RX7's, Evos and STI's, Porsches and BMW's. Let me know if you ever want to head West LUV4my5 03-12-2007, 11:41 AM I might have to do that. I'm 26 so I'm sure I'll fit it pretty well. romscor1 03-12-2007, 12:37 PM That car looks exactly like mine! LUV4my5 03-12-2007, 01:53 PM That car looks exactly like mine! You should post some pics.
