Default My Black Beauty

<FONT SIZE="4">Updated 5/2/08 with new pics, see below :D</FONT>

Haven't posted in quite a while, but I figured you all might enjoy my newest ride .

I flew down to Florida to pick it up a few days ago, drove it all the way home to VA, and I'm already in love.

Here are some shots I snapped in somewhat of a hurry today. No Photoshop on this computer, so these are untouched other than resizing and borders in MSpaint :rofl:.

This thing is absolutely amazing. I'm beyond happy.

One of 1,465 sold in the US, one of 1,164 1991s.

They were built entirely by hand, including the engine.
























Mod list:
Conforti chip
Bilstein/Eibach Sport shocks and springs
Racing Dynamics swaybars and Strut tower brace
Dinan Camber Plates.
RD SS Euro resonators

Blackout kidneys and eyebrows
Factory Shadowline window trim,
OEM Hella Euro smileys with HID conversion
M Tech Kopi mirrors
Autosolutions short shift kit
BBS CHs, 19x8.5 in front and 19x10 rear.
Toyo T1S, 275/30/19 and 245/35/19

Newer updated pics, some with my buddy's E30.

















I was also recently searching google for some information on the exhaust that came with my car (a B&B Tri-Flo) and strangely enough one of the first links I clicked brought me these pictures. Very cool to see a little visual history of the car with Mel Abrahams, a relatively well known figure in the BMW community.









Hope you enjoyed!

Hot car, bud. I love older 5-series BMW's. They're one of my favorite BMW's out there.

You know how every once in a while you're skeptical opening a thread and then are hugely surprised and glad you opened that thread? That just happened.

Love the stripes on the spoiler. Subtle and tasteful.
