MY MOTIV BMW

For BMW owners and enthusiasts

To paint or not to paint on my E34. Again, the answer was yes. Dreaded rust at the bottom corners of the rear window. A common problem on E34's. Luckily after further inspection and taking the glass surround off the rust hadn't reached the glass mounting surface so now was the time to do it. It means the rear quarters need painting but at least the glass doesn't need to come out. While it is at the paint shop I decided to get the bodykit repainted due to stonechips. The lower door trims pulled off in pieces unfortunately and they are a BMW only part so a simple job has just got a little bigger £$!

It's going to be let out soon!!
Was misfiring like mad. It's been sat so long the petrol had gone bad. New petrol in and now it runs great. Front dampers have gone bad so I will send them to get rebuilt next week.

Finally got round to putting the front end back together. Took my time using all the correct clips etc. Some new lights required and some seals. Took the front bumper cover off too to get all the lines perfect. Looks much better. well worth doing :)

He doesn't really get online but I can arrange paintwork for members if needed.

Also sent the front panel/grille surround with the door trims as it had a large stone chip and dent in it. Taking it off I noticed the main beams had gone a bit smokey and dull and the rubber was going around the indicators. Ordered the new parts as they are quite inexpensive so hopefully the front end should look a little bertter too.

Well, my paint guy has done it again. Flawless result and the shadowline window surround came off and went back on okay which is good. Rear quarters have been done as there was no other way. He likes to go into the next panel for blending purposes, i.e. the back doors for this job. As he did the front end before and went into the front doors this means most of the car has been painted now. Just waiting for the lower door trims to be finished.
