LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted January 28, 2007 Okay, don't shoot me, buuuuuut. If i end up holding onto the 540iS, i think it would look dang sexy with the twin pipes that the M5 and 740 received. What i'm wondering is, am i going to need a written off E34 M5 that has frontal or side damage only to retreive the rear bumper and fuel tank? Or is that possible with a 740, or do i need more/less components to acheive this. From underneath it looks like the fuel tank would interfere with anyway of doing it.

Now im very confused....I thought what confirmed an E34s M5 status (externally) was the twin rear pipes. But nope, that would be the E39 wouldnt it. Bugger. Well thats the look i want. Like the 740. There are a couple of guys around who can fabricate in stainless and would do a really nice job of twin piping your 540. What I found with them is you need to do all the homework for them first. Go to them with pix of other genuine BMW pipes and find a source for all the pipes and bends - like southwards Cain has a contact in Tauranga? that apparently does really good work and has done E 34 V8 pipes. That is not the difficult part though, i know several very good metal fabricators. The question relates more to actually making it fit for one thing, and not having to hack a bumper to make it look right... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
