Well done, always appreciate early model love. Dig the bumpers too.

I would just like to point out that I approve of that red beauty in your garage. That is all.

Kinda overwhelmed by all the positive comments here and by pm.
I really wanted to rock the oldschool chrome and sorta stock look. I purposely did not make the car very low. For a car thats a daily driver and weekend autocrosser I like a soft spring/big sway bar setup that works well for me, its a nice copromise to live with day to day that I've had nice results with other cars.
This car needs a little more power though and I would like to get to that sooner than later. Nothing fancy likely keeping the m20 and cold AC... Currently nursing a broken ankle I now have some time to think about that stuff.

@ shameson- thanks, the 911 is this bimmer's stablemate. Its a fun car too

recent pic i took at dinner....

It's so classy! I'm starting to regret selling my Euro bumpers. :-| I love this simple look!

Wait a second there Vin.

You're going to auto-x your ETA with Metal Euro bumpers? I should have stolen them off your car the other night. LOL! You my friend are out of control. If I had euro bumpers I'd be so fricken protective over them, just b/c they're not easy to find. But thats just me. Your car is truly clean. I look forward to your updates.

This. Worst I have ever done is tore off a fender liner, your not going to hurt those bumpers any.

another summer update

Keeping this thread as an online photo album of sorts for our BMW.
This summer found time for a super-eta 2.7i upgrade as well as going through the A/C and other stuff at the front of the car.
Car is much more enjoyable without a powerband that mimics my Toyota Landcruiser :)
