Thanks SSense. You cannot believe how satisfied I am with them! Although they do not match the Naghi specs, with the previous rims, I just couldn't stomach them! Violent wobble at 80kph no matter how many times I had them balanced and aligned. Plus the design was just...wrong! I'll still go for the "Throwing Stars" but maybe in the future. At least I've got this down. Now I'm still trying to bring the engine back to its original state. Which was not cared for before. Cleaned the MAF already which brought back its power. Bought a new battery which reseted the entire ECU. Well slowly but surely. Once the mechanics are done. I'll move on to polish and paint + upholstery...

What is an E34 M5 "Naghi Motors" edition?
At the request of Naghi Motors, the BMW importer for Saudi Arabia, BMW Motorsport GmbH produced 15 special examples of the 3.6-liter E34 M5 sedan. Known as the "Naghi" edition, these were the final ECE-spec 3.6-liter M5s produced. and were all built in late March and early April of 1992. Like all Gulf-specification E34 M5s, they were built without catalysts and were therefore rated at 318 hp (DIN). Five examples were produced in three different exterior colors each: Jet Black (668), Alpine White II (218) and Lagoon Green metallic (266).

Each “Naghi” edition was fitted with only the following regular options:
-Rear spoiler
-Shadowline trim
-Green windshield stripe
-Velour floor mats
-Air conditioning
-BMW Bavaria Cassette III radio

In addition, each “Naghi” edition was equipped from the factory with the following special equipment:
-Recaro SR front seats with Black leather bolsters and either Anthracite M cloth inserts (Jet Black and Alpine White II examples) or Neon Green/Anthracite striped cloth inserts (Lagoon Green examples)
-Red seatbelts
-M System II alloy wheels (8x17-inch front, 9x17-inch rear)
-Hirschmann phone antenna

Finally, the following additional equipment was added by Naghi Motors once the cars arrived in Saudi Arabia:
-Red leather steering wheel, gear shift knob and parking brake handle
-M tri-color stripes on the front driver-side edge of the hood
-Special door sill plates with the "Naghi Motors" insignia

Thanks faisal. Stupid me forgot to charge the batteries of my speedlights :bricks: so as a rushed job full of excitement. I just went with your crappy basement parking lighting. Haha

Thanks eodeh. Talk about a rushed job but happy the first shot came out somewhat cool. Haha

Thanks Haissam! Slowly but surely ey?

[SlowDriver]

Oh its going to be a slow process for sure but enjoying every minute of it! :D

Wish I could show my other cars back home in the Philippines here on this site but I'm pretty sure I won't get approval from the site coordinators! Hahaha

interior work??

i remember the interior wasn't good either..

Yes luckily the SR Recaros are still intact and working. The sad thing is that the seat covers were glued to the seats so the ///M cloth that came with the car is now badly damaged :doh!: Would you a good place in the UAE that can help me out in bringing back the original leather for BMW's? Maybe a good shop that can do it? I'm pretty sure the M cloth is almost possible to find in this part of the world but its worth a try...
