Uber-Smooth BMW 5-Series

The E34 BMW 5-Series has always been my favorite generation for this luxury sports cruiser. I was scrolling through CarDomain Top Overall A/V nominations when I came across the uber-slick 1990 5-Series owned by CarDomain member e34zoui. The work put into this ride is amazing. It's not over-the-top at all, it's clean, its fresh, it's just done right. The owner reworked the car both inside and out, and there's not much I can say should have been done differently.
The trunk received an impressive custom-fit fiberglass build out for the DLS audio system, and I'd love to say it the most impressive part of the install, but e34zoui never posted pics of the finished install! But from the progress pics and comparing it to the work in the rest of the car, I'm sure it was stunning. The interior was completely restitched in white and beige, including the European M5 seats (the back seats are dope!). It looks like a custom center console was fabbed between the two rear buckets, but I"m not sure. If so, then he did a fantastic job! There's also custom kick panels, custom dash with an 8" touchscreen screen, A Via-powered carPC system, head rest monitors, and a HUGE turbo upgrade (GT28RS) pushing out 426HP to the wheels.

We've got a system list and a few more pics after the jump.If anybody has any other details on this car, we'd love to hear it. Let us know if the forums!
