    Custom made BMW M50 Camshaft Lamp

    Up for sale is a lamp that I made out of an exhaust camshaft that was removed from an M50TU and a brake rotor that was removed from a BMW E34 525i. The cam and that brake rotor were removed from the same car. The cam is welded to the brake rotor and is very strong. The lamp looks great and functions just as well. The brake rotor has been painted and all of the cam lobes have been polished. A lampshade is not included due to the difficulty of shipping it. The lampshade shown in the pictures is only to give an idea of what the lamp looks like with a lampshade on it. The bottom of the rotor is lined with foam. Price is Price is $220 shipped anywhere in the lower 48 United States. I will ship this anywhere in the lower 48 United States. I'm always willing to consider interesting trades (E30 euro smiley ellipsoids with euro grilles would be good). If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

        That is a man cave/shop item only. No self respecting wife of G/F will allow such decor ask me how I know. (my 305 chevy coffee table and working traffic light were the 1st things to go)

        Just sayin is all,

            LOL, my gf was peaking over my shoulder as I'm looking at this, laughed, and said, "If you buy that I'm breaking up with you."
            If my g/f wasn't more important than a lamp I'd buy this... GLWS

                  this would be acceptable if you have a URINAL in YOUR bathroom. That is the only way I see this working.


                  Someday if I get build my own house I will have a Urinal in my house somewhere

                          I'm curious, was there a hole through the center of the cam to begin with?

                              Yes, M50 cams are hollow (except Vanos Cams).
