    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.

    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.

    Default What are part numbers? (more)

    Looks like you used three parts. I have not seen (or just noticed) what looks like a center panel between the ducts. Are there parts availabe to actually duct the air to the brakes?


    Would this filt a 95 e34 525i which may have different lower panel. This looks real good. I owuld be interested using just the parts in black and not painting. Blacks look fien with oxford green and black plastic will not scow damage as quickly as paainted parts will

    TIA

    If you look at e34.net, he lists part numbers for the actual air channels.

    Default What about the center part Winfred used?

    Thanks - I had seen this site. However, I wanted to make sure they were not different parts and I wondered where the center ormiddle part between the duct come from as he simply attached the ducts under the spoiler rather than cutting it.
    appreciate the reminder.
