I mean, I rather have the real thing, but you can overpay for aluminum ones if you want..

agreed the price is insane. they are clearly targeted at very well off owners, i.e. replica DTM e30 m3 builders. the wheels are just so pretty.

if you can find a set of real 5x120 e50s for sale right now, you'd obviously get those instead. but youd be hard pressed, i imagine.

They are very handsome I agree. Aesthetically I really like them.

I was just getting at the ludicrous price for "replicas" when you have the option of finding a real set for the same, if not less.  

I did look, and found a few sets as it seems they made quite a few, but it really depends on the specs. You are better off buying the faces and building a set. I bet this place has a set if you were really looking....

He'll probably get it. People dont care if its a track car. Also consider this; if you have a track car and smash it, here is a good replacement.

This is almost the perfect e34 and reinforces my need for one of these some day!

SC 4.0 should be making right about 400hp. With the 6 speed that'd be a riot of a setup, and the 540i drivetain can certain handle that in a daily capacity.

Sad it has the parchment interior, though.  Also needs an LSD and some non puke-inducing ebay wheels.

I agree 100% about the wheels and interior.  A black interior and some style 42's, m par's or Styel 5's would really set this car off.

That drive by video was pretty disappointing. Clean car though!

[P_Roloff]

Needs some trim paint on the grilles and kidneys too, that alone would make it look a lot more appealing. Looks kinda whitewashed on the front as it currently sits, it bugs me.

Lol this hurts a bit. When we bought our TI the guy had a white on black e34 540i m sport manual with sport seats and throwing stars...

It was his winter beater.

Looked nice next to his individual style color Cayman S

A legit M sport 6spd? They only made 135... I felt bad about parting my brother's first 540i/6 because of the rarity.
