    New ride: 1991 318is

    Loud 'n low.

    Sold my e34 540i/6.



    Flew out to San Diego to meet PacMan30, picked it up, picked up ear plugs all around, drove 14 hours back to northern Utah.

    Met a kid who has a shady safety/emissions hookup, we'll see how that goes.

    Quick pics from our emergency stop for a fender roll with my daughter



    Just ordered a stock DME, wiper reservoir, 16x8 XXR 530's and Conti 225/40zr16s.

    Now to decide on the vanity plate text...7-digit ideas?

    Honestly I built it just to have a place to sit and listen to Hotline Bling on repeat.

      215/40r16s on the 16x9 ESMs, too tight for getting aggro imo. Rubbing on decent bumps even after fender roll. +10 just isn't enough for me.

          Contisport contacts for a deal on eBay. I like when people say "I want these gone!"

              Oh come on you didn't notice that on your first glance??? Yes the car came with PacMan30's baby, very good steal. No added performance, just a different exhaust note.

                          Waiting for this hiring freeze to get over to turn this internship into some cash.

                          Met this crazy 17 yr old kid today talking about a wheels-for-wheels trade rebuilding his M20 for FI...very interested to learn more from this kid. FI is my eventual plan.
