    I know it's not an E30, but....

    I figured you all would still dig it :).
    I flew down to Florida to pick it up a few days ago, drove it all the way home to VA, and I'm already in love.

    Figured I may as well go around to all the bimmer forums, register, and introduce myself...so here we are :D.

    Here are some shots I snapped in somewhat of a hurry today. No photoshop on this computer, so these are untouched other than resizing and borders in MSpaint :rofl:.

    This thing is absolutely amazing. I'm beyond happy.

    edited for new shots: Here's how it looks as it sits now. BBSs are for sale! PM me if you know of anyone looking :D














    Here's how it looked when I picked it up January 9th :):





























    Mod list:
    Conforti chip
    Bilstein/Eibach Sport shocks and springs
    Racing Dynamics swaybars and Strut tower brace
    Dinan Camber Plates.
    RD SS Euro resonators

    Blackout kidneys and eyebrows
    Factory Shadowline window trim,
    OEM Hella Euro smileys with HID conversion
    M Tech Kopi mirrors
    Autosolutions short shift kit
    BBS CHs, 19x8.5 in front and 19x10 rear.
    Toyo T1S, 275/30/19 and 245/35/19

    edit: found some interesting photos of my car's history.

    I was searching google for info on the exhaust model that came with my car, a B&B Tri-flo. One of the first links I clicked turned these photos up. Cool to see it in action with Mr. Mel Abrahams :).

          Oh wow. That thing is incredible. The E34 was the hottest 5 series to date.

          And I love those eyebrows! I don't think I've ever seen them on an E34 before.

                      The one shot I forgot :(.

                      I was hurried due to incoming rain and light dropping off fast.

                      I'll see if I can't grab one right now.

                      Thanks everyone!

                              Tis a dream to drive. 113K miles.

                              She shakes kinda hard in certain places between 50 and 60 mph, and also up at about 77-80.

                              Smooths out dramatically after that. It's almost as though it wants to be driven fast.

                              I caught myself multiple times on the way home doing 100+ when I thought I was doing maybe 75 or 80. It's amazingly smooth and quiet when cruising up there. And the power...it just keeps pulling relentlessly. It's nothing out of this world, nothing neckbreaking, but the thing is is that it just doesn't stop.

                              As for the steering wheel, I have a momo competition wheel waiting to go in. That ugly airbagger is only on there so I can pass inspection :D.
