"There was a lots of homework involved and $6000 just in suspension modifications to make it right: The rear struts are out of the E32 chasis 735i, the front struts are from E34 M5. Then after purchasing them new and spending $6k, I sent them out to "Ground Control" and had them build me a specific hight and stiffness with special spring rates and shocks to accomodate perfect balance and achieve the right hight which cost me $1840 for modufication and then $1200 to install them. Then the rear rims are 9.5" while the fronts are 8.5" offset otherwise with regular tires and struts with this set up on a regular E24 6-series it would not work or fit. Just the total to do this right was $9,040 and then the tire and rims were $2,200. You can do anything but to do it right it took me 8 months of homework and $11,240 just to get it right.

His answer to one of the questions.... lol, 6k on the strut assemblies.... uh. ok.
ROFL " I chose the most reliable BMW motor ever built, the S38B36 motor out of a 1993 BMW M5 (E34) and with some modifications including larger camshafts to achieve higher compression, thicker head gasket, resurfaced head and new head bolts. I have been able to achieve outstanding performance matching its reliability."
"I took it back to Samir at S.A. Automotive and asked him to put the S38B36 M5 motor in the reliable E24, He shook his head and told me Go F--- Yourself !!!! You are crazy. It took me a month to convince him to do it for $3,500 in labor. He started the project in August 28th of 2004 and it him a year and 2 months to Micky Mouse a wiring to get the engine started. In the mean while I had moved to Los Angeles to follow my passion with The BMW brand and was already out of the state of Colorado."
All those modifications mean nothing now because he just showed everyone that pic of his engine bay with that nice HOT AIR INTAKE.
He wants to be taken seriously with no heatshield..

Nope, it's for real. It would only look like a joke or a laughing matter when one is not comfortable or does not have enough information to comprehend a situation that they are uninformed about. Regards, Koorosh
haha what an idiot. Sold a 2002 and tii just for that horrendus interior?
props to him for stayin with bmw power, but why sell your dream car?
it was completed in 2008 and he 'slaved away' for it, selling it a year later?
haha
No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.
