As much as some members don't like Blunt, it's done S52

[MattM20]

Fuck Blunt and all his moron Roadfly followers. I just got a letter from BMW NA concerning the use of the BMW roundels on this site, the Roadfly kids are responsible for telling BMW NA. Basicly I have to remove them all, or I get persued legally.

Very very mature bunch.

Blunt (and BMW NA) are waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffless.

But wouldnt that mean other sites would be forced to remove them too? Kinda pointless to just pin point one group.

i think BMW NA just wants the site owners to ask permission first

[Super Eta]

All is good except the filter. other then that i love it.

[Ryan Stewart]

Its a nice setup, he has done a lot to it.

He has backed off the Alpina Police shit since i found the picture of his family portrait. I didnt have to p-shop it to make it funny.

[Jand3rson]

Beautiful install! It looks great, I especially like the strut brace over the top, kind of hugging the engine.

[CobraKai]

I actually think the car is pretty sick. the 5 lugs look sick and the s50 install is clean as hell.

I still doubt they would let him use it. It's not the kind of thing you just "ask" some flunkie over the phone for permission for. That kind of thing has to be submitted in writing, legally notarized, and all that jazz.

I just found it too.

Oh that was funny. I don't even know what all this drama is about, but I do know that his car is excellent, and other than the intake its a very clean install. Very jealous of any E30 of that calibur...

but is all this necessary? This jungle gym?

Do you have any idea how rigid that car probably is now?

If he's going to track it, that will be a very nice setup.

Just checking, I remember the white car that is next to his red one in the garage got a lotta smack for having a rollcage that was "outta control" to most people. Just wondering, not messin'

[Bryson]

is he using e30 m3 5 lug or e36 5 lug?

it's a super clean install and everything, but it's honestly nothing out of the ordinary, I don't see any reason for anybody to ride his nuts. Just a matter of how much money you can/will throw at an early non-M e30

Change it to "very heavy", and you'd be correct.

For as overly complex as that cage is, half those bends & welds wouldn't pass a tech inspection. All those extra bars also add about 80 pounds without any noticeable amount of rigidity.

Funny but I don't know what guage tubing he made it from so it could be light. And on a side bar one tech inspector is differant from the next. The only true way to measure a welds strength is to NDI it.

He was building Chevy's prior to this so for 2 years of doing BMW's it's not a bad start.

Well, if it's a legal cage, most places want at least a 1.75x0.95 mild steel, which isn't the lightest stuff in the world.

What really bugs me is that big bar right behind the driver's head. Even padded, with a seat back brace, I'd be scared of that. I also think most inspectors would take issue with that placement as well.

Does blunt have a circle track background?

-Charlie

[M-technik-3]

He's a motorhead dude, aka American muscle. And yes I think he has some circle track under his belt.

I do agree with you over the cage, but I was just arguing a point. cages need to evolve.

[AdamF 88iS]

The mistake he made is to use the E36 radiator. Other than that it's cool.
