So long Eta, Hello e34

[OreoGaborio]

from small pimpin, to big pimpin :pimp:

Since my Eta got totaled last week i ended up buying another car... super cheap.
(I may be 26, but it's still ok in my book to buy a car from my father 8))

'95 525i (M50)
5speed
M5 front lip
M5 throwing star rims
Racing Dynamics swaybars (think it's back on stock springs/shocks though)
Extra set of rims w/ snows.


I can dig it 8)




and for those that haven't seen yet, here's a pic of the Eta

Very clean looking e34. Nice upgrade!

[FredK]

Just kidding! I've just been wanting to bust out that smiley for a long while.

Sweet upgrade! M50 powa! No more t-belt changes.

I can't believe your legs didn't get injured in the accident.

[OreoGaborio]

DAMNIT! it's not bronzit.... it's.... Luxorbeige.... or Kaschmirbeige... or some crap like that, i have no idea... samn damn thing though just a little darker :pimp:

I'm very lucky to to have been hurt.... here's the money shot of the driver's seat area.

The edge of the picture is where the door is SUPPOSED to be ;-)

So you were un-hurt then? Wow! How much did they give you for the eta?

[Jarvis]

Definitely an upgrade.

And Pete didn't get hurt because he's a skinny bastard. And non-sport seats let you slide off of them sideways. Glad to hear you're OK, and that insurance picked up the tab without a hassle. Still racing the crotch rocket?

Congrats on the new car but sorry to hear about the E30. Glad you amde it out ok!

supercharger?

[OreoGaborio]

I got quite a nice check from the insurance company for the Eta... Easily a few hundred more than i coulda sold it for before the accident, so I'm quite happy.

I'm incredibly lucky to have walked outta that unhurt as i was. Aside from a couple bruises, one on my hip & one on my shoulder, and two small nicks on my hands from flying glass, i was totally unhurt.... i actually did jumping jacks for the firemen, cops & EMT's that showed up... none of em could believe i was the one driving the car.

Still riding the Kawis... I bought an EX500 race bike a couple months ago, took the Cornerspeed race school and am now racing in the Loudon Road Racing Series. I race Lightweight Sportsman, GTL and Production Twins. Actually Won one of my first races

supercharger?

mmmm, no...

as much as i like fast cars, i'd much rather spend my money on bikes & racing :pimp:

In fact, my first mod to the 525i will be.... ready for it?..... a UHaul trailer hitch so i can get my bikes to & from the track

I may look into little purchases for the M50 to give it a little more get up & go but it's not likely.

[KangamangusDriver]

Nice upgrade, I hear very good things about RD sways.

Mark D chip for the M50.

Congrats!

Probably just a shot in the dark, but do you know Eugene ("Gino") Berrio?

[Erick]

good to see you back here. congrats on the car and the races!

[OreoGaborio]

HA!!! GINO!!! Yeah, i know Gino. races a hawk... really good guy :)

I met him through another buddy of mine. Alex from www.maberacing.com

What hit you? Glad to hear you didn't get smashed, too. Nice e34, can't say I like the color, but I'm sure your purchase price makes it o.k.
