69 BMW Euro Trash

[kevinc]

I would be afraid of getting body parts sliced off driving this thing...

That's all part of the fun.

i love that exhaust. also quick question. Is 93 on that bowser refering to the octane rating? just wondering because here in australia super premium is 98 octane

Yes the octane ratings in the US only go to 93 most of the time. You can occasionally find some 100 octane but it's rare.

To each his own!

I may not be the wisest here being only 16, but I really like this. I dont necessarily like it because a classic BMW is being... hmmm... What word. Anyways, the point is I like this car because it's unique. Heads will turn, that's for sure. But honestly, this is much better than having it sit and rot in a junk yard, or slowly being parted out. I live on an island in the Puget Sound near Seattle, Washington. A while back, there was a 2002 for sale from an old gas station/service station, and I went to look at it. Frozen engine, at least 1 square foot of rust on every panel. Didn't sell, and after a while, it just disappeared from their shop. You wouldn't believe how many of these cars are just sitting in yards, rusting away (I dislike people). Anyways, my point is that this is much better than seeing a car sit and rot away slowly. Just my 2 cents.

When I first saw this: "Cool, a beat to shit rally cross car!"

Reminded me of the yellow VW James May drove in Finland:



But then you slammed it (incorrectly) and generally just fucked around

This thread was a big let down

today we were going to take the bimmer on its longest drive since i have owned it, about 35 miles, before we left i realized, holy steering angle batman

Think those spacers are illegal around the world

so with all you guys safety concerns this guy was the only one worried about the right stuff, those spacers

so back to the drive, we were maybe 5 miles into the drive when our auto zone studs decided that they dont like our ghetto spacers, which results in them falling off/ breaking the studs

so i was going down the road doing about 60-65 and the front left wheel decides to part ways with me, leaving through the fender

i steered into a ditch where i proceeded to say fuck



look what it did to the back of the wheel


kevin and i got the wheel on using some of the studs and lugs that were left and alex went back to get his trailer

kevin also took some nice pictures but didnt manage to get any of the wreck

on the trailer

Today was an interesting day. Good thing nobody got hurt lol

Edit: also you posted the same picture twice and you should use the large not small codes.

this car is awesome haha. if you got a good shell and did the paint to it it would be nice. but as is its a giant pile of crap and idk how its allowed on the road but i love it lmao.

I have to say I like the way that you are able to laugh off your mistakes and keep working on it. You've already stuck it out longer than most of the "experts" on here. Keep working at it, and either it'll break or you'll catch a break.

you should get a photobucket, flicker is so confusing

Or you will kill yourself... Whats up Andy?

yea, im pretty sure this car is gonna kill one of us, especially with these lugs and studs

[e39hamann]

I suggest you scrap before you kill yourself or someone else

Or restore it properly.

[kevinc]

Flickr is so much better haha.

And Alex and I did talk about yesterday how much it might be worth in scrap metal haha

[standard125r]

Whats up Andy?

What up, Dude?
