This one has the parts from a Mercedes 190 DTM modified to fit on a 525i. Not bad looks I believe. Mods were done in the U.K.

I found the pics and comments on a U.K. board. He now drives an E32 7 series. Here I copied his comments to the pics. Will ask for the cost involved back in 1996:
----------------------------------------------

...My first love (and my first BM!)

1995, I was young, free and single.
I was into BIG sound systems and decided to put a killer sytem in my new E34 525i. 17 speakers, 19 channels of amplifcation, 2 Kilowatts, Time-alignment and a lot of 'firsts': All Stereo controls in the Sun Visors, centre channel and rear fill, mirror-lined sub enclosures, subs under your knees, compression horn drivers...completely over the top

So I needed a look to go with the sounds.
I contacted a company called PSG in Leicester and so began my car modding odyssey.

Using a Reiger Mercedes 190 DTM evolution kit, it was stretched to fit my E34. Took some doing and being me, had some unique touches that wouldn't appear on the off-the-shelf kit. 4 months of waiting, in my eyes, were worth it.

1996 was a mad year: Not only did my car take pride of place on Tony Reigers' stand at the Essen Motorshow, but received over 12 pages of exposure in 3 UK magazines, with it still being the only car ever in Max Power to get 6 pages and not be on the front cover - that went to a tuned F40! I also featured in one of the first 'fly-on-the-wall' documentaries hosted by Sue Lawley where I actually said on National TV to my Girlfriend (at the time, I hasten to add!) "If I had to choose between you and the car....it would probably be the car!"

Awesome!!! Combines my two favorites. 190e Evo 2 kit on a e-34. Beautifull!

I really love it... Something like that is really bad ass.

I wouldn't mind buying another E34 if she had a bodykit like that....

Must be a b... it work on it and slide jacks underneath.

not really my cup of tea except for that front end.

whatever you do to a front end of a e34 short of smashing it into something will make it look awesome.
