    Redefining "E28".

    This one's for you, purists.

    I'll start with saying that I am finally content with my car. I've modded it for myself, so if you don't like it, deal. :)

    This is going to be controversial as I said before... I know some of you have seen some previews but these latest pics are all-new.

    I'll let the pics do the talking from here.













    check out that camber!




    Here are some pics from last night... It was another bumper setup I thought I was content with, but I am MUCH happier with the one above.







    And now the details.... :)
    Yes, the hood is rusted. Yes, I still have my stock hood.
    The bumpers are painted army-green, and I totally dig it.

    The wheels are HRE 504s
    17x9.5 et-9 with a 215/40 Fuzion ZRi up front
    17x10.5 et5 with a 225/45 Kuhmo AST out back

    You may recognize them from Johnathan's car, and if you read carefully, you may have picked up that they were mine... as he said that they weren't his in the post... (GET YOUR WHEELS ON JOHNATHAN!)

At Bimmerforums, you will find technical how-to information maintenance specifics audio advice wheel and tire combinations and model specific details not found anywhere else. Our professionals are here to help make sure you find the answers you need to your questions and our community is here to help other brainstorm ideas for the future.


    The tires need some re-doing but I'll be swapping out the rears and running 10mm spacers to get the perfect stance.

    The fenders are rolled to hell, and all the paint came off, so I had to repair that.

    The rack is made by yours truly. It's oak, and red mahogany stain. It can hold me without any problems.

    Enjoy.

    Huge thanks to Austin, Alex, TJ, and Olek.

    Damn you.

    Looks like I'll have to start a search for some new kicks.

        I think you could really pull hoodride off with rusty, crusty, bent, mangled, rewelded euro bumpers without trim.

            Looks a little too VW type 3 ish for a Bimmer, but I love type 3s and for some reason I kind like the look on your car too.

            Wheels are great, roof rack is cool, not sure about the hood yet.

              everything looks awesome.
              I'm guessing your going for the controversial 'hood ride' and rat rod style.
              I love it, everything except for the bumper.
              Although I have no idea what I would do other than the good bumper
              stance and wheel combo is sick

                              I'll more then likely be the one that go's against the grain on this one. So here you go, I don't like it. And i'm not even a purist.
