Facelift: E34 ->E39 Possible ?
Hi,
Is it possible to face lift an E34 touring to an E39 Touring. Especially I am thinking about face lifting the E34 to get the E39 front. Thank you in advance Malnitz |

Just about anything is possible, but they're totally different cars. And why would you wish to ruin the looks of an E34? ;-) -- *Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

I'll leave the trashing to others (they're doing quite well) and emphasize Dave's statement above. THERE ARE NO BODY PANELS AND OTHER STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS IN COMMON BETWEEN THE TWO MODELS. Well, maybe the sunroof... Floyd |

Not an answer to your question, but another option, unless your Touring is already a later model. |

You're right. I understand the change is a simple spanner job. I do agree. The later grill does look much nicer. But as you say, not an answer to the OP's question. Mike. |
