    Slammin's 535iT...the double D.

    OH HAI GUYS!!!

    So I decided I needed a good family hauler. The Rover was getting too much "riggish" for regular DDing and baby hauling....call me a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles, I know, but you are what you eat.

    Anywho....

    Picked up a BONE STOCK 1994 525iT schlicktop with a massive folder of service records back to the original window sticker.

    Virgin car.







    Some dings and a dent in the right rear door, but nothing some PDR can't take care of. Of course the early door cards are coming apart, but that's about all that's wrong inside.

    Engine has an external coolant leak at the headgasket, but it didn't leak a drop getting from Richmond to my home, and sitting overnight in Charlottesville. Also the trans feels a little slippy in reverse, but my plans for the car will remedy both of these issues. ;);)

    Let me just say this thing kicks so much ass. I'm so stoked, lol.


    ....now, whats the cheapest place to get hatch and glass struts? I can get them from SSF for $150 for all four. Anywhere cheaper?

      Almost bought one of these a few years back, except it was an NV, and had the non-working double sunroof. The woman eventually convinced me to not buy it, but I still feel like I'll own one someday.

          Only thing I dislike is the steering. Nice base to start with.

              I'm so torn on this thing. It drives and handles perfectly. I want to slam it but I don't wanna ruin that lol.

              Oh well. It'll probably go the same route as everything else.

              I'll not reveal my special plans yet as they're still in the works.

                    Is this the wagon Patrick and Matt had at the show?

                      It was at Bimmer Rescue for a while. I happened to hear it was for sale through a friend so I nabbed it up when I sold the m3. Patrick was nice enough to hold it for me for a week while I got my shit together.

                        Do these share the same hatch strut design as the e39? Need to switch mine out (right brandon?) and it's apparently a bitch to get them back on.

                          I really don't know lol. I got some from eBay that you have to reuse the "L" end. They were cheap though lol. I'll do the glass struts later. They look like a small bitch.
