Johntee540's 1994 BMW 5-Series She's an old lady for an old guy suffering from severe Mid-life crisis - 239k on her- but she has been done over recently.

Johntee540's 1994 BMW 5-Series Heres another shot of her in the shade. Finally added Shadowline trim.

Bilstein Sport Shocks and H&R Springs; Racing Dynamics Sway Bars Front and Rear; Racing Dynamics Strut Bar; Porterfield Modified Brembo Rotors; Porterfield Pads; Remanufactured Calipers by Goldline Brakes ; StopTech Stainless Steel Brake Lines; Grunt Poly Bushings Control / Thrust Arms; Remanufactured Transmission (now a 6-Speed Manual); New Engine at 94k still running strong; EAT Chip; 5-0 Motorsports Injectors 35lb; 18" Racing Dynamics RD2 Wheels Staggered; Toyo Proxie T1-s Tires; Valentine One (hard wired remote install); Escort Laser Jammer (Stealth hardwired install). She drives and corners better than new.

Johntee540's 1994 BMW 5-Series Strut bar - Racing Dynamics

Johntee540's 1994 BMW 5-Series Here you can sort of see the 8in fronts and the 10in rears. Also - went to the Hella Euro "Smiley" H1 Headlights and Projector Fogs for more light. I have also gone to the Pro-Lumen HID in both Fogs and Headlights. They rock!

Johntee540's 1994 BMW 5-Series The rear tail lights are the Hella Smoked Tails. Windows are tinted. The car is filthy!

Johntee540's 1994 BMW 5-Series I have the Zeemax Rear window Spoiler. It gets mixed reviews. I like it.

Johntee540's 1994 BMW 5-Series BBS-RS GT wheels I think... I traded for them have no idea really. UPDATE: These are ASA AR1 (17") Wheels that ASA produces under license from BBS. I am about to change these to Racing Dynamics RD-2 (18") wheels with Toyo T1-r Tires. Had BBS Two Piece Style 5's (17")and hated them. You can sort of see the calipers and Discs in this shot

Johntee540's 1994 BMW 5-Series Here is what the Calipers look like when I was installing. I am using the Stop-Tech SS Brake Lines. They sell a 6 line kit made for the e34. Goodridge also sells a 6 line kit. Most kits are only 4 lines and will not work with the e34. Be sure to get the 6 line kit so you get the results for pedal feel you are looking for when going to SS lines.

Johntee540's 1994 BMW 5-Series Merry Xmas 2005 to me! These are BMW 850 Front Calipers made by Brembo for BMW. They are going to go on the front with larger rotors. My car will be ready to do the 75-0 Mambo in less than 120 feet! I will post the pics installed once I get there.

very nice 5 and good work on those brakes. I like your other cars as well and that wagon looks sweet but the black 5 is probably my favorite out of your rides. I dont miss the traffic but I miss northern va I used to live in sterling right down after fairfax county parkway turns into algonkian parkway. I actually spent last weekend at my buddy's house off soapstone in reston. keep up the good work and keep honing those skills at the track man. peace.
