Sweet cars, I currently drive a 2000 528i with m-sport suspension and I love it to death. Both of your cars look like total beasts.

Can't believe it's been so long since I have posted an update.

It seems like most of my pictures get posted to Instagram nowadays since it is so quick and easy. You can follow me by searching for @damendesign

In the past year + since I have posted, I have purchased an E39 M5 to use as a daily driver and was able to repair a lot of things on the E30. It's still not perfect and could use a paint job, but it's a lot of fun to drive.

I picked up a parts car too. It had a perfect vinyl sport interior, so I swapped that into my S50 car.

The M5 got some attention as well. It received BC BR type coil overs, aFe intakes, muffler delete, recovered interior trim, some new wheels, head and tail light upgrades, and more.

The E30 cracked its oil pan while trying to avoid some construction in Downtown Seattle. After the 2013 picnic (first pic of the gallery), the E30 sat for a while.

While it was sitting, I bought a skid plate for it, a new oil pan, made a custom E36 M3 fuel pump, RyanG front lip splitter, euro analog clock, E28 M5 rear spoiler and a few other things.

When we were replacing the oil pan, we noticed a few other gaskets were leaking. So we took apart the timing chain cover and started to replace those gaskets when we realized a previous owner had cut part of the head gasket.

SO we took the head off, had it remachined, and replaced the head gasket. We also replaced the valve guides, spark plugs, chain guides, vanos, thermostat and many other "while you're in there" parts. Now I don’t have to worry about that for a while..

I also picked up almost everything needed to do the 5-lug swap. I got a little ahead of myself and bought two sets of wheels prior to completing the swap. I still need to get some coil overs for the front. Saving up for that..

One of the sets of wheels I purchased was the E34 M5 - M system wheels with turbine covers. I spent a whole day polishing the lips.

I'll let the pictures explain the rest..
