Eric,
Your threads are better written, more informative & have better pictures than most magazines !! Thanks for sharing with us - CONGRATULATIONS on son #2!!

Jack

Thanks Jack! Really appreciate the kind words!

love these cars. i would actually consider getting one.

Every man has his price

the pic with the icicles is seriously fucking nice, should deff be your sig

Thanks dougie, I was kinda feeling the need for a sig update. With the current pic of the M5 in the car wash, I kinda noticed a trend of taking pics with liquids oozing off the edge of the cars face...:shock:

Anyways, I made 4 sigs really quick, and I like most all of them, so please have a vote!

I'm not much of a computer wizard, so i've never figured out how to illegally put photoshop on my mac, so out to the garage and the trust ol' PC and photoshop 6 to do the sigs above. Now, being completely A.D.D. I found a bunch of my old sigs while looking for the correct sizing. Had a bit of a laugh with how terrible some of them are, and others I think are still pretty cool!














































Whewh! I know there are a few more, just couldn't find them.

I've been on forums too long.

The M5 has some holiday spirit.

I friggin love your cars!!! I'm very jealous of you and our cars!!!!!!!!! I want an e28 m5 and your's just makes me want one even more. You photography skills are great too. If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for a living?

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I'm in the Air Force.

M5 has survived the move to our new place :up:

I'm taking the M5 to Oktoberfest in Monterey... Long list of things to do!

I wasn't planning on going to Festorics the weekend before Oktoberfest starts, but this would be cool if I got it, think I should enter my car for one of 6 slots?

Stretching her legs yesterday.

Small bump.

Spent the day autocrossing the M5 again, and had a great time! Over 217k on the car and it just runs like a champ. Newest item on the car is a very nice set of BBS RS211's and BFG Rivals in 225/50/16.

Next on the to-do list is a good clean/detail, I've been putting it off all year.

I'd love to chop those Sterbo tips down to be flush with the bumper. Maybe coat it black like the factory exhaust.

ALso, my wife attended her first auto-x and had a great time! Below are a few action shots of her.

Unfortunately the gopro3 black I borrowed from a friend wouldn't recognize his SD card, even though it worked fine the day before... And my gopro 1 recorded the entire drive down to PPIR, so the memory card was full and the battery was dead before the practice runs were finished.:roll:

So here is a vid from the last event as I didn't really get any good vids of todays event.

i'm curious about your rear passenger door -- is it single-stage schwarz or some other color?

oh, and i'm digging the new wheels!

[325ix]

None of your pictures are working for me.

[freeride53]

I'm liking everything I see here.

I believe it is the original paint. The back 1/2 was repainted when the euro rear firewall was installed along with the euro bumpers. The front door and fender were re-done when I was t-boned a few days after buying the car (read page 1 or 2). I've been lazy on keeping a thick layer of wax(been almost a year!), and it seams to be more and more noticeable the longer I go without giving it some love.

None of your pictures are working for me.

weird, just the new flikr ones, or the old photobucket ones from the beginning of this thread?

[M-technik-3]

Still looking great. Oh how are the rivals?

[pilotskillse30]

classy

Finally tinkered with my stock sport seat for the M5... This is why it was twisting.
