              Thats awesome. I'm thinking about pulling some 5.0 badges just to use as a joke at some point. And I'm thinking either getting "sleeper" or "vee ate" As my license plate.

                If you tell people it is a sleeper, that kind of defeats the purpose... lol

                  Its the irony haha, a small, low bmw with wide wheels, no interior and an open header 5.0 is not a sleeper. Or maybe I'll do "subtle"...

                            First off... love that red interior....

                            Second, I listened to that full volume just to get a feel for what it might be like.

                                I have heard many many issues with the mounts being junk. Either way, the mounts for the e30 and e36 should be exactly the same.
