In a surprising turn of events, StanceWorks accidentally acquires a 1995 BMW 540 6-speed, a gem found on Bring a Trailer. The team, including the new addition Blake, swiftly transforms the car, unveiling its potential as the ultimate daily driver. With the E34's rich history and BMW's legacy, the 540 model with its 4L V8 engine is compared to the iconic M5, offering a unique driving experience.
Partnering with Gyeon for car care, StanceWorks meticulously washes the E34, preparing it for a stunning upgrade. The addition of Hartge Design C splits wheels elevates the car's appearance, creating a visual masterpiece. Fitted with Falcon tires, the E34 undergoes a meticulous installation process, ensuring perfection in every detail.
As a vintage BMW enthusiast, StanceWorks passionately justifies the E34 as an ideal daily driver, combining power, comfort, and a classic driving experience. Despite skepticism about daily driving a 30-year-old car, the team believes in the E34's unmatched charm and performance. The V8 engine, manual transmission, and timeless design make the E34 a true embodiment of BMW's "ultimate driving machine" slogan, offering a blend of power, comfort, and style that is hard to match.
