    I think that my favorite thing about this site's e28 rolling members is that almost all of them are very different.

    From your modified stock looking one, to BRod's proper DD, to Mike's Rusty. The e28's cover all walks.

    Well, eventually I will own a nice suspension set up.
    I've actually been heavily drawn to the bags after seeing Rusty...

    And no, I wouldn't pussy foot bags, I'd sit at a nice, low height all day every day.

    Thanks man! I do love the ride. I think it's nowhere near the other e28's on here, but it's here and that's all that matters terribly to me.

    Dude, there is nothing wrong with what you're rolling in. It's clean as hell. The 14's don't look that small at all. Well played sir.

    haha and its funny (well, not really) that you had all that money saved up to put into your car, but then got busted for alcohol citations, because the EXCACT same thing happened to me! go busted for public intox at a football game and its cost me an arm and a leg from court fees, and D&A counseling/classes. at this point, if that had not happened, i would be on coilovers, have my wheels refinished, and prolly would be saving for exhaust and stuff. but im in a stock e46 with lm reps lol
    Sux donit, man?!
    Yeah, I want to source a new valence, and get the euro bumer rubber. I have some euro turns, and fog light mounts on the way from Aus., but it could take a while. Once I get all of the above, the front end should look damn close to true euro. The ass of the car has a lot of rust, so I'm on the fence about what to do to it. I also **** the tail lights, just the orange part. I want to do something, but I dunno what exactly. Interior is in pretty damn good shape. I'd definitely like to space my wheels out, fer sher. Just need spacer money.
    Let me put it to you this way, on the month to month, I have just enough to slip by for rent and utilities payment. I literally have no money for the car. Thus why I cut springs, went bumperless, etc.
    The car will come along in time. And if it dies... I'ma be pissed.

    Hahaha, I'll eventually get the euro bumper rubber and go faux-euro.
    Most likely, if all permits, the car is getting a new paint job and other things over winter break. Although, I kind of doubt the paint will happen, considering temperature restraints. And hell, I don't really care about secrets, so Cole dished the idea of flat red paint. I'll probably accent with gold wheels and the like (tastefully of course). And, not to worry, the paint will be done right. No shotty jobs for my car. Sand, treat and prime all the rust spots, use proper paint tools and supplies, etc.

    Coming from you Moose, that does mean a lot, though. You have the cleanest, truest e28 out there.
    I would like to sit more low, but I feel that the e28 doesn't have the best low status unless you get an airdam/spoiler kit. You know what I mean?

    I think it actually pulls off the 14s well with the meaty tires and non-flush fitment. Gives off the look of an older classic on its OEM wheels, and the deep dish baskets are attractive, I like it like a lot. Doing a few things to clean it up like painting the fender where it has chipped, as well as sitting on the passenger side of the bumper will help a lot man.

    Hopefully I'll get to see you MD guys again soon. Awesome to meet you at H2Oi.
    No rat shit, promise

    Thanks a lot Kielan, it was great meeting you too, and hopefully definitely be seeing you some over winter break.
    The people are more important than the cars to me. I mean hell I'm not talking to yeralls cars, now, am I?

    New wheels are in the works, btw. Forged BMW style 3's. I will never be stretching mad tire like the best, simply because it's a DD and I need the meat. But I will be trying to lessen the tire on these 3's when I get them. Favorite set of BMW wheels ever, and I'll grab them for a buck fitty.
    Was in the market for a sick set of Dino Windy's, but after getting hit with an alcohol citation, $400 of the $450 saved up, went to fines and fees. Stupid alcamuhol.

    Thanks man.
