    Uncle's 1985 X5 - The Bike Hauler / SUV, haha

    Yeah, you read it right... 1985 X5. What started out as maybe a joke, affectionately calling this ride an X5 for a fun nickname, has turned into a conversion process. This is fun, funny, kinda cool, and super utilitarian, so I thought I would share!

    This is my uncle's 1985 VW Vanagon...er, um... BMW X5.

    Mods:
    -Tint
    -Custom Exhaust (Sounds like a Subaru WRX)
    -H4 headlights (HIDs are in transit, literally)
    -E30 rear springs
    -VW Carat Vanagon lowering front springs
    -Bilsteins (on the way)
    -Custom fitted/timmed roof rack
    -Basic audio
    -Cigarette lighter 12v lamp
    -"Custom" wheels on 225 rubber on all 4
    -"Custom" brakes
    -"Custom" front grill conversion, lol
    -Rear Euro fog light
    -Bodywork and Paint in process

    Fun to drive. Sets off car alarms with ease. Hauls ass(es)... like 7 people. Looks like it takes itself too seriously. Here she is:

          That is a wicked grille setup. Is it a true euro? I noticed that euro rear fog.

          Love it man. Now it needs a P-car motor out back.

                  stock: roughly 2.0L flat four... may get built up to a 2.7L I think.

                      haha, that's cool. A kid at my work just got his running and he's been driving around. Except his is an ugly brown.

                              The Fuel EX is a nice bike until you snap it in half. Then you have to wait 6 months for Trek to mail you the wrong half of the frame.

                              Ask me how I know.

                                  That cigarette lighter lamp must have set you back a dollar or two.
