So, how do I make this car a bit more nicer to the eye? I've tried lowering it, changing the wheels to 255 wide ones, slightly tinted rear lights and so on. Been thinking about slightly tinting the windows too.

Lateral mirrors looks old a fuck, and not oldschool I mean old and cheap as fuck maybe change them ?
>>
>>14098617
What is wrong with it? It looks mean. Wash it, change the emblems, maybe a black front kidney if you're young and want that aggressive look. And a more expensive upgrade would be to get BBS rims or something that looks more upmarket. But the current rims do look OK though.

Clay bar it. Really brings out the paint.
>>
>>14098637
Oh yeah, that's a good idea, will give them a look.

>>14098662
A black kidney would go well with the Shadowline kit, but on the other hand that chrome kidney sticks out, almost as to flaunt the BMW heritage of an 24 year old slav mobile.

>>14098669
What's clay baring? Like, waxing?
>>
>>14098674
Try masking it with electrical insulation tape (that's what I did to simulate shadowline look on my e60 - and then upgraded it) and see how you feel... BMW designs like this are very distinctive (especially today) anyway.

But mine already is a Shadowline, original to boot.
>>
>>14098689
I meant for the chrome kidneys. Shadowline on yours looks good. Chrome on 5 series always makes it look a bit like a grandpa's car.
>>
>>14098691
Oh yeah, right, sorry. I'll have to give the black kidney a look, but I kinda prefer the chrome one.
My next jobs with the E32 are a new camshaft and replacing the A clutch shaft seals in the transmission

keeping it stock must be the rarest trim
>>
Clean up headlight/indicator lenses
Clean wheels
Clean and shine tires
Clay bar if needed, wax

There's a limit to what you can get out of something that old, but working on all those little, subtle signs of age/wear will make the whole car look nicer than it is.

>What's clay baring? Like, waxing?
Yes, it's similar to wax except it's a little bar of clay you get and rub over the car. Do one panel at a time and buff off before it dries too much.

I swear everyone who owns one is either the original owner who "knows what they got" or some dumbass who lowers and stances it.

I would just get big black steel rims and leave everything else stock.

Maybe LED lightbar.

I prefer my wider tires to be honest. Looks a bit sportier and a little bit more aggressive with low profile tires. This car is 50% appearances and 50% pure bliss when driven. Also 110% transmission problems

Ah, the 3.0 V8 sucks dick.

That's why it's the M30 straight six. As far as I know, the M30B35, 3.5 litre straight six was the smallest one in the states. Mine is the 3 litre one.

>>14099341

Are you a Europoor?

Didn't even know that there was an earlier 730i with a six.
>>
>>14099372
Sorry man, I'm europoor. The 730i comes with either the M30B30 straight six or the 3 litre V8
