      Look to be about 3/8", come with extended lugs, ECS Tuning brand.

      I typed in the part number on the side and get this: https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/10mm_Spacer/ES2550806/

      Half off fair? They could probably use some cleaning.

        thanks, going to pass. I need something more like 15mm/20mm to fill things out.

          All good. I had these on the front of the E60 for a while, but they caused rubbing with the wheel setup.

              Your headlights r garbage. 

              I have Finding Nemo flashlights that r better than that

              But really, im interested in there being a WIBIMMERS 2017 calendar or something and we should put your photography to use at some of these meets.

                I would help with a calendar, sure.

                another update towards the car becoming the Ultimate Daily-ing Machine

                Installed a Curt Class I hitch.  Was going to be building a teardrop camper to tow, but sadly that won't happen. Next plan is maybe a small boat and using a trailer to pickup bigger engines.

                9PPsnWK.jpg

                it bolts to the underside of the bumper, and in these three places under the body. its rated to 150lbs tongue weight, but i stood on it and bounced and i'm a well overweight at 2 1/4 and nothing broke so i have confidence in it.
                o0lXf5h.jpg

                FvkqTQY.jpg

                still finishing up the wiring, but the cool part is i can hide the plug behind the tow hook cover to keep it pretty protected from dirt/rain/snow.

                  wiring done.  labeled it for anyone else who is thinking of doing this.  because the e34 has the light check system, the wiring adapter you need is the kind that takes its power from the car's battery, and the splice wires to the lights only give the adapter the signal for which lights to turn on. that way the voltage drop/raise is so low the system doesn't throw a check light.

                  mounted it inside the passenger side panel since I don't really use this side for storage.

                  r7QSwDZ.jpg

                  factory sound insulation fits right over the top of it so i can still put stuff in here if i want to with damaging anything.

                  don't mind the brown burned-looking crap on the ground wire. there was mystery goo on the bottom of the insulation that i didnt notice till it was too late.

                    Looks great! I've been considering adding a hitch to my e46 wagon.

                      Thanks!

                      did some touring things with the touring today. i custom built the tandem rack by re purposing a set of two regular bike holders. new tandem racks cost $300-400, I did this one for $15 in hardware (i found the racks on the side of the road)

                            First time seeing a tandem on the roof of a car. Great pic! Like a lot of people, wish that car belonged to me

                                        yup. 90% of the style for 25% of the cost = 100% worth it.

                                          welp, sold the tandem bought a kayak, so now the e34 has a kayak rack and hood loops.
