Hello to all at Stanceworks. My name is Henry, 23 from Bournemouth in Dorset. Can I just say, what a great community - I have been lurking on the build and showroom threads for a couple of months now, just decided to sign up so I can subscribe to some of the nice threads. I thought I'd show my car in this section, as its not suitable for the other sections just yet. First my BM history:
I had an E34 525i a few years ago which I spent a lot of cash on, sport bumpers, M5 interior, Throwing Stars, etc. Didn't get the chance to lower this car during my ownership, but it was on the wish list! Anyway I sold this car, and I still regret it.
Some pics:




I wanted something newer, so got a cheap E46 323i. It was nice to drive something a bit more modern, but unfortunately this car was laden with endless problems (more so than the old E34!). Thats the problem when you buy a cheap E46. Pics:



It kind of put me off the boring SE E46s.. One day I would still love a 330ci or M3
I had to get back in an E34. Back to a solid built bmw. I found myself a 1995 530i V8 in arctic. I know that the 540 is the one to go for, but it was a bit better on the insurance for me, and best car around at the time. I have owned the car since October last year, and its still pretty much standard as I have had to spend quite a bit of money sorting some mechanical issues. At the moment I am re-doing the cooling system. All I have done so far is fit a sport interior. The plans for her are pretty simple: sport bumpers and low! I also have a set of Throwing Stars waiting to be refurbed that I hope to get done soon.
Things are tight right now, so could be a while until I get her the way I would like her. Pics:
(oh yeah, since I took these photos I have sprayed the grills black and freshened up the fading bumper trims)
