Alpine E70 X5M Photo Shoot

thinker_toys · 05-29-2017, 09:52 PM

I got my brother-in-law to do a little photo shoot of the truck. Here's the results!

If you're into the classics (relatively speaking), you can click HERE to see my E30 rebuild on S14.net.

I want to know how you scored the Continental tires? I tried like heck to get a pair from Europe, and nobody would work with me. I think I have since located a source, but I just went with Lionharts for the time being. Would have much preferred the Continental's given the choice. Both of your ride looks super nice!! I have owned a couple E34 M5's, and a E28 M5. I love the older BMW's due to the character of the cars. My buddy has a few E30's, but I find that I am a fanboy of the E34 chassis.

@Googone20 I have the E34 covered too. Here's my 91 M5.

For the tires, a couple people have now inquired. You're going to have to source them through the EU. I got mine through a friend in Germany.

I love E34 M5's!! Been looking around for another one, but they are getting harder to find in the shape and spec I would want. If you decide to let it go one day, shoot me a PM.

I spot authentic smoked Hella tails with the matching plate filler, ACS side mirrors, ACS Type 2 wheels, and Euro trim. I can't see much, but I can see some nice aftermarket parts in it.

Good eye Googone! You can't see the smoked Hella headlights, Euro yellow fog lights, and ACS mono wiper at the front of the car. I am also running an ACS wood/leather steering wheel and shift knob.

I am in search of a set of the Euro (Nurburgring) E34 M5 brake calipers. If you ever run across a set, please let me know.

Yes Gixxer! I followed your build of the E34 and was sad when you said goodbye to it... it is one of my favorite e34s! I especially liked it when you were running those 18" Alpinas...

I'm now enjoying watching the progress of the truck and M4!

Revnato · 06-01-2017, 12:08 AM

White is always right

That is so incredibly nice. Love the BBS wheels, nothing but class. And you wrapped them in some really nice tires. They remind me of the Pilot Super Sports.

Thanks Bro,
I've have my eye on another '95 Msport in Denver that is the exact twin to my e34. Although mine was super nice, this one is even better. A rare find with around 50k original miles and is bone stock... It even has the EDC intact and working perfectly. I would recreate mine cosmetically with a few mods but not go overboard like I did last time.... leave it N/A and throw a B&B exhaust on it, 18" Mpars and be done.

Your X5M looks awesome!
We should start a sub club for X5M and e34 owners!
