Nice looking M5. Not sure I would have chosen those wheels if I had 5lug, but both look nice.
Thanks. The wheels were really necessary because of the Brembo brakes. They were the best looking OEM wheels that would clear the calipers, and also not cost a small fortune. I think ///M double spokes would have fit, but I didn't want to pay that kind of money for everyday rims. I've already bent 2 rims in the time I've had these, and that would have cost me near $1k to replace ///M rims. Now, I think these are just around $200 per.
Me too. Out of all the "body kit" manufacturers out there, I do believe ACS does the best work. I even like the new Bangle-mobiles with ACS kits on them, but without, they are an eyesore.
You've never posted pics of your e30 beast before Trevvy...
why dont you give the r3v'ers something to drool over.....

I know, I just thought I'd share. My sister just got a new Canon Digital Rebel, and she wanted to take some pics of the two cars while they were both here together.
Not much Bob. No, the M5 isn't mine. It's my brother's. He got it right before he was commissioned in the Navy. I found it for him, inspected it, and then drove it home for him. It's one of the nicest BMW's I've ever seen. Fastest too. It's got Schrick competition cams, JC custom software, Supersprint exhaust (cat delete) from the headers back, and a Quaiffe 3.45lsd. It hauls some serious ass. Just had it dynoed at 322 or 323rwhp and 272lb/ft of torque. It's not as quick or as nimble as the e30s52, but the straight line acceleration is astonishing. You can do 160mph all day and feel comfortable doing it.
I love the wheels on the e30... i'd rock 'em... Are those just stock e30 elips with xenons, or did you do it right?

Nope, not stock. I did it right. Smoked euro ellipsoids, 5400k H1 HID low's, and 4500 H1 HID hi's. I almost NEVER use my hi beams anymore. It's scary sick how good ellips are with HID's in them.
