    Default E34 540 brake ducts

    Thinking about this mod. Anyone have any pictures of a finished mod on an E34?

    I'm planning on putting them on my sedan before painting the bottom. Here's a pic of some on a red 535.

    Is it for cosmetics or functional cooling?

    I'm assuming the former unless you track the car.

    In terms of function: consider doing what I saw on a supercharged M3/2 in the shop over the past few weeks -- obtain a length of good quality air duct hosing (like they use for clothes dryer exhausts, only not the cheap plastic stuff) and route it from behind the bumper/grill/wherever to the wheel wells. That's a good volume of directed air for very little money.

    best, whit

    Is this an M-Tech bumper cover? Where did you find it?

    I like this nice finished look. How hard was this to do? I have checked out the e34 net site about this, thats why I have been thinking about it.

    I have tracked my E30, and may do the same with the e34. But have not as of yet.
