Whats up guys?

So I have a friend named Mike Burroughs, hes an awesome photographer, hes a cool guy with a terrific sense of style, and he took all the photos in this thread.

I've seen this car posted around every time someone mentions rusted hood, so I figured I'd make a thread for him since he can't post here just yet (he actually wanted to).

It's an '85 535i, dumped on GCs, 17x9.5 et-9 and 17x10.5 et5 HRE 504s.

Enjoy the photos! This car will be in the April issue of PBMW (Performance BMW)













Unfortunately, the E28 is no more. It was lost in an accident when his friend was driving the car, but Mike already is on his way with another BMW. I know you all will be disappointed, but no rusted hood

 

I'm sure this will get alot of love, and alot of hate, always does

Either way, if you want to see more of Mike's photography check it out:

He definitely has his own style, in photography, as well as the way he builds his cars.

 

so ill and artistic, both the car and photography, not my cup of tea, but i appreciate it as an art form.

 

badass car. Very nice.Im thinking about picking up an extra hood just to see how that rust look will look on a DA integra.

 

Eh...The rust hood just ruin it, But everything else is sick thought....

 

i love my e28 bmw. ive been looking for pics of this one

 

beautiful

 

Awesome shots! I like the car but i would like it more if it didn't have a rusted hood lol

 

looks sick, love the rust. few cars can rock that one but you got it

 

The bumpers and the different mirrors really hurt the car.

 

That car is a beauty. It is certainly a different kind of beautiful, but it looks great.

 

That's pretty cool looking.

 

Not a big fan of rusted hoods, but this car pulls it off very nicely.

 

I love it.

Didn't this get totaled like the day AFTER the PBMW shoot?

 

awesome

 

I want a boombox like that.

 

i like the wheel choice. looks perfect for a bimmer

 

i like it, it's a different look.....

 

nice colors on those pics!

 

The rust looked great, very nice sorry to hear it's no more

 

so it got wrecked...and why doesnt he still drive it? isnt this one of those "yea my car is a old beat up peice of **** and i dont care i still drive it anyways" kind of cars? if the car is totaled, then that sounds right up his ally?

 

i'm so tired of this rust fad.

 

Yeah

 

Hey guys!
The car is mine. Thanks James for posting it! :D

The car was indeed totaled- the same day the article was finalized. My friend was borrowing it.

No one ever said the car was gone. It may see the light of day again.

Thanks for the positive comments.

Here's the replacement I bought with the insurance money-

 

Saw the original at IA in the fall and loved it. Great stance. And the new one is even sweeter!
