newest vehicle and why i sold my 2002

[hugh jass]

I bought this car about a month ago and just got it out of the shop where i had to have the head rebuilt because of a broken timing chain tensioner.
Every since I got my first BMW the E28 M5 has been one of my dream cars and now I finally have one. Details are:

East coast car from Mass.
129k on the chassis, 20k on the bottom end, about 10 miles on the top end
Engine has Schrick cams, s14 evo valve springs, JB Racing flywheel, fahey crank hub
Fully sorted suspension - ground control coilovers, E34 M5 rear brakes, aluminum control arms, etc
Recaro Sportline seats
Beautiful paint and interior, just needs a good detailing.
A few small areas of surface rust, but I guess that is what you have to expect when you buy an east coast car. No cancer, but it will have to be addressed.
I will post more pics when I get it cleaned up and the BBS RSs on it.

You have no idea what a similar situation I am in right now! My Tii is getting picked up by its new owner on Saturday morning... and what do I have to replace it??? Time will tell! Congrats!

Nice! I've always loved e28 M5's as well, although you really need to get some euro bumpers/valences/grilles/staggered headlights for that thing ;).

X2 That combo with RS will look ill son! :pimp:

Only thing I would add to the list is a nice exhaust system, and HIDs. :)

I bought it from Andrew Wong in Mass. I think he had it at Bavarian Performance Group.

thanks guys
euro bumpers are about 3 grand to do it right, so that's a ways off. i have to pay off the repair bill next month and then do some stuff for wifey ;-)
it has an stebro stainless exhaust which sounds great. loud, but not too loud.
once i break it in it's off to the dyno for a couple of pulls and a custom chip. it dynoed at 237 whp before the cams, so i should expect something north of that.

my guess is 250 to the wheels.

I was looking into that car as well, it was a hell of a deal. Nice pick up.
