Still trying to bring this car back to life-- it will hopefully have a bunch more work done on it in 2014.

Although I'm not a big Stanceworks fan, they did take a good shot of my car. I've since added the Alpina cowcatcher, but I took it back off because I kept hitting it against EVERYTHING.

Cardinal leather with Cardinal-ish speckled cloth inserts front and rear. Recaro fronts replaced factory sports. Custom armrest delete in the rear, since it's pointless.

Added brake ducts and just converted to black moldings. still have to do the door handles.

My beater M5 before I sold it. Bought it in Chicago and made a road trip back to NY in it. Good times.

The problem is that I live in a very old house with the original very narrow driveway. The curbs on either side when entering seem to lay in wait for me. I need to line up pretty carefully to avoid them. Let just say I haven't been very careful.
I'm very open about the fact that My car is a "Tribute". It started life as an '88 535is. Of course, regardless of model, the proof is whether it ever was in Buchloe and if they say it's real. Even though I sourced the same parts that they would have used, I can't claim it as authentic. I can't call it a "Clone" either, since my choice of colors was never offered by Alpina. Also, technically it should be a B10. Oh well, just a rebel I guess.
