I see yours has an older style steering wheel and even headunit? Have the seats been recovered? nonetheless fantastic car Yes I believe they are spec'd the same as far as im aware. (Someone correct me if im wrong) The only difference between the two is the rear parcel tray has safety latches added for baby seats. Yea, the steering wheel I have seen in lots of e34's. The interior was completely re done a month ago and cost $8000! The previous owner had the stitching match the estriol blue too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hamish5 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2010 Yea and it was the steering wheel the 3L came with.. Looks good aye, was there a reason for the refurb? he didnt get the m sport lines put back on the seat corners.. Estriol blue looks good with my (old) interior the light grey.

DrphTa 5 Report post Posted March 24, 2010 Time for a small update - New Grill - Painted the front lower lip estoril, not sure if I dig it yet. May go back to black along with the grill Next on the list - lowering, 30-40mm. Haven't decided to go with springs or adjustables. - New wheels (on there way, hehe) spaced to ET15 - Paint rear diffuser - Simota intake - Supersprint exhaust - Remove boot spoiler Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ari Gold Report post Posted March 24, 2010 Woah, I never noticed that the front bumper doesn't line up with the skirts on an M3. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joshnz 2 Report post Posted March 24, 2010 Nice car, just curious .. with all your planned mods, I know Aussie is strict on these, how are you going about that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrphTa 5 Report post Posted March 24, 2010 Have to enter a form for approval with QLD Transport. Changing from OEM suspension from what I have read looks strict and expensive to get approval. Hence leaning towards lowering with different springs. Exhaust shouldnt be a problem as long as the emission and sound meets the Standards. Good read up here http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/Home/Safet..._modifications/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenday-rulz21 4 Report post Posted March 24, 2010 The car looks stunning mate. I'm not at all a fan of painted trim bits like the M3 front lip, and I always facepalm when I see a painted rear diffuser. They came black from factory to stand out in a subtle way and painting them makes them blend in IMO kinda defeats the purpose of a M3 bumper but that's my 2c. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out with the wheels and lowering! Estoril Blue ftmfw! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
