    And a 5 makes 6

    Just bought me a new daily driver. 1992 525i 5-speed. This is my 6th BMW. '94 325iC Convertible, '95 M3, '87 325e sedan, '89 325is, '93 525iT, and this '92 525iM. I still have the last 3.

    here's some pics... Wheels and suspension still to come.











    Here's a couple at home with my wife's 525iT

      Now I can get a little more aggresive with the mods on the e30 :D

        It seems you're drifting in to the world of E34's... Or did your wife insist on matching? Hehe

        Looks great, can't wait to see what mods you'll be doing

          I'll stay with the e30, just wanted to make it a little more track worthy and that means it's not a comfortable daily driver (I'm getting older, need comfort now and then).

          We got her's after selling her Tahoe. Just in time to beat the gas prices. I liked hers so I decided to find me one. Never intended on another white one, but this thing was too clean to pass up.

            Nice paint on the rockers on the Touring... ;)

            What wheels do you have planned for your new sedan?

              How sweet is that, you guys have matching cars. :)

              My parents used to both have new E21s (when they were new) with each other's initials on the license plates...now was disgusting.

              Nice find on the new E34 though, looks like it's in great shape!

                Ya, I was inspired by a nice photoshop ;)

                I wanted M-Paralells for it, but that would just be a little too much twinkie-dom, so I'm thinking maybe the one piece ACS Type 3's in 18".

                  does the touring have an m50 too? I was almost confused for a moment, couldnt believe you had another e34 in the stable.

                    yes, both are M50 cars. The touring is vanos, the sedan is not.

                        Can't afford real T-stars. Plus I'm a little burned out on them with the replicas on my e30.

                          My dad has some nice BBS 2 peice on his E34 5er. I'm not sure of the model name, but I'll be sure to get some pics.

                          I love the E34, and intend to get the same kind as you have sometime in the future.
                          The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

                            Are they the weaves? I found a set of e39 17" weaves, but not really a fan of them.
