Hello to all! I've been a professional lurker for quite some time now (think circa 2002), way back when we had that old style board. Most probably won't remember but I had posted some in early '04 but then when the new board came out and there was that transition period I kinda fell outta the loop. Been frequenting this site off and on though since, checking what's new and stuff, and most definitely the search function has become a great ally - this site (and its contributors of course) have been such an awesome help to me in my DIY adventures. I guess part of the reasons for never posting was because everytime I had a question it would be answered by a simple search! But alas being a fly on the wall has its disadvantages of never being able to contribute or jump into any discussions, so here I am!
I'm from Hawaii, currently here now, but I was in LA the past couple years - probably will be going back to SoCal after the summer. It's funny, the Hamann HM2 rims I had (one's in the pic) I was selling in LA and almost sold them to to a guy without even realizing it was Whit Lowell from this board! (At the time I hadn't checked the site for some time and later found that he had posted my rims for sale here). Thanks Whit by the way! I thought your name looked familiar :D
Anyway, so I have an '89 535im, just under 230,000 miles, and love it! I've owned it for about 6 years now and don't think I'll ever sell it. The pic is from a while ago, it's totally de-pimpified for now - the rims are gone (crappy bottlecaps for now), as well as the tint I had to remove cause of the stupid Hawaii safety check you have to get every year doesn't allow dark tint. But even so these cars have such beautiful and timeless lines - you know how after you park it you find yourself looking back over your shoulder? Yeah, I do that too ;)
Aloha,
Wes
