Congrats on the new wheels buddy, E34's are known for their involving ride.

Imo the most cost effective performance upgrade would be to sell the 520 and get a 540...they can be had for reasonable money. Upgrading the 520's performance will be expensive and doubt you will get any serious gains unless you go the turbo route.

Upgrading the wheels will unfortunately increase the consumption as well, the consumption in anycase will increase if you do mod the engine for performance....

Post some pics of your ride.....:thumbs:
