Have you considered reinstalling euro side trim?

I havent, but I'll look into it

damn. that was quick. and brilliant. equal parts really.

Yea, I needed something both practical and bad ass! and no, not a temporary donor if that's what you mean

That is the perfect e34.. Glad another forum member got it. Got any plans for it?

Thank you. Not yet, I havent scoured the forums enough yet on this car to have a vision. If it was a regular e34, i'd probably want to go B10 route.

Well that was a long trip! Gotta thank Levent, Nico, and Sean for coming out with me and making this 10hr drive back to NJ worth while. Here are a couple pics I took from the trip. Most of the time we were just having fun driving the car. I gave everyone some seat time and each person gave good feedback. I think the overall concensus was that at around 4500 RPM's this engine really thrives. I mean, it was pulling really good with 4 guys and and AC going!

Pics:

Landing in Michigan. The weather was perfect!



Our flight left LaGuardia a little early and we got there pretty fast so we had to wait a little bit for the seller to arrive. Nico and Sean are working on their tans. Levent has sensative skin.


I took a short video of the seller pulling up to the airport to drop off car. Needless to say, she took my breath away!



Here we are taking a look at her and basically drooling! I really couldn't wait to say goodbye to Ryan, seller, and jump in and start driving!



Just one pic I was able to snap of Levent and Nico riding upfront and getting some seat time. Levent really got her going and i think we can all agree that 3rd gear was our favorite gear.



This was the first of 4 stops for gas that we made. She avg about 22 MPG which i thought was exceptional given how hard we were driving and the load she was carrying.



Nico loves Five Guys!



My only plans as of now if for an Eisenmann exhaust and maybe euro trim.

Glad to see everything went well Rob!! It was very sad to see her go and I am pretty heartbroken looking at photos of her with a new owner. I am happy she went to a great guy and I am sure Levent will help you keep her in A-1 shape. Driving a M5 on a long freeway trip is amazing. That car doesn't even hit its stride until you approach 100 mph.

Hey Ryan...didnt know you had an account here :)

The trip back was great. This car was meant to be driven far distances. Seats were comfy and engine was smooth. I think we clocked in just under 600 miles yesterday.

I'll treat her good, im no F&F type so she'll stay classy...may even get that Eisenmann you were looking for a while back to get that beautiful sound.

You'll have first dibs if i ever decide to let her go...but that may be a while from now ;)

Correct! Ryan kept up maintenace even AFTER he was paid in full for the car. I really cant say enough about him, great seller all throughout!
