cool color!
i don't like the wheels at all though

[mikey535im]

I think it looks superb,wheels and all,nice stance,perfectly modified and beautiful choice of background!
Is that camera/lighting or is your windshield actally tinted?
Great job Ken , you should be proud.

Nice car! That’s one dark tint you have. I wish I could get tints like that but it is illegal here in Chicago.

sweet car! not a big fan of the rims, but its not so much as to make the car not BEAUTIFUL!.

and i LOVE that color!

[Phil Sanderson]

Painted out like that makes it look fresh and new. The lower door rubber strips have been painted - has it stuck ok? I'd like to paint-out the wife's 540 but wasn't sure if paint takes to the rubber. It certainly is easier doing it that way than getting side skirts and the hard door strips as I did on my 525. I love that colour and the car sits down perfectly.

The car looks NEW.
Amazing how easy it is to freshen up a Bimmer.
The E34 just doesn't seem to "date itself" like other cars.

GREAT choice of color and wheels.

Ken, I LOVE IT. looks just like mine, check the gallery, Burts blue bmw.

[shortbuss2336]

sweet looking ride, nice rare color, that color doesnt do much for me stock but you have outfitted the car well and it looks great, Wish I was pimpin in Guam!!

[TimGinCentralNJ]

...that's also my fav color (that is factory paint, right? tough to tell with reflection) and while I wasn't a huge fan of the wheels when I first saw them, they're growing on me a little ;o). Very, very nice.

You do good work, man!

1st of all my car would never look anywhere it is right now without the help of this fantastic board. it was a 3 yr learning process for me. from the smallest detail, where to get cheap parts,and on how to handle the love and hate relationships this car brings

mikey535im
yes the car is tinted up front (full face) weather here in Guam is summer almost all year long, gotta protect those leather seats :) thanks for the kind words.

Brian C
I try to be the nicest on island :) heard about your recent challenges in life...i wish the best for you.


Phil Sanderson
yes the lower door rubber strips was painted, it's holding up real good so far. the body man used some kind of chemical to smoothen the rubber, then some kind of chemical again so that paint would stick real good. thanks

Mo525
thanks for the love ! i agree with you, cannot date the E34 body, specially if you're not a Bimmer enthusiast. i have people come up to me and think the car is atleast a 98' :D no other feeling i must add

50fiver
gotta love your own ;) i LOVE you car color too officer !

shortbuss2336

TimGinCentralNJ
