This is the second S I have owned and the third e39. Clearly my favorite driving car made by zee-germans. This one has a few things it needs but has already gotten 18s and is about to get dropped a few. This shot was the day I got it. Love those style 5 wheels.

This is a very rare grey market import car that has lived its life in California. The body is amazing but the interior is gonzo.
I have spent a lot of time tracking the progress on my bike projects but have not had the time to do so for the cars. I hope to get the time in the fall / winter of 25-26. Be patient with me!

You just have to love the Euro Bumpers. The whole dash is in German but the speedo has been replaced with a MPH unit.
[[File:IMG 9402.jpeg|150px|left| link=1993 BMW M5 (e34)]] After selling all my bikes and cars, I was on a mission to get a few special cars, I started with the e34 M5 as it was the first purpose built super saloon and it is a hell of a car.
I was lucky enough to buy this machine from the original owner. When I drove it away there were 92,000 Miles on the clock. She needed and still needs quite a bit of work, but it will happen.
[[File:IMG 3384.jpeg|150px|left| link=1988 BMW M5 (e28)]] I took my wife on our first date in an e28M5 and when I sold it she never let me live it down. When I had my third son, it had to be an e28.
When I drove it away from the sad fella I bought it from, I found that the stock suspension left something to be desired. I promptly pulled the whole car apart. Replaced the auto-leveling system with H&R Springs combined with Bilstein shocks. Lowering springs landed this machine right where I think it should be. I also put camber plates in the front end to add camber to the front wheel.
I also disliked the original 16" style 5 one piece wheels the car came with. I hunted around and landed on a set of badly bent (unbeknownst to me at the time of sale) very good looking style 5 17"s. Note the sealed beam headlights which are US DOT spec.
In the EU, they had bigger outers and are replaceable Haolgens. As you can see, this is a serious upgrade to the looks of the car. A costly one but worth it.
[[File:StormTrooperSPG.jpg|150px|left| link=Previously owned cars]] I have owned a lot and enjoyed many old rides. It's fun to keep track of them and to look back from time to time.
A work in progress. This is a 1929 Model A ford. This machine has a Diamond Block, C crank, drilled for oil. Isky cam, Dual Winfields and a Cragar overhead valve head. 39 floor shift and a whole lot more to come.
What a machine! The e39 is by far my favorite BMW ever made (aside from the e28). This car got me in so much trouble I had to sell it. Dinan single mass flywheel made all the difference. I will own another someday soon.
This was truly an unreal car. The brakes, balance and steering were the most impressive things about it. I was not a real fan of the 8K redlining motor but with the the agility I was never one to complain.

Now this is one serious car. I had so much fun in this car it is shocking. I also got a lot of tickets in this thing. The color is anything but discreet. Lowered. Bigger turbo. Brake work. Exhaust work. Torque steer up the fucking ass!!!!
When I was young I had a real hardon for the SPG Saabs. The best I could find was this rare Air Flow Kit Carlsson edition SPG. I was so sucked into this thing that I put 4 Transmissions and 3 motors in it. Too many turbos to speak of. At the time it was one hell of a car.
