I know there's a good joke about my wife in there somewhere, but...

Did an oil change and a wash yesterday. Doesn't look too shabby for a 17 year old car :)

Thank you, sir!

Well, a couple minor modifications. The M-technic side skirts off of a '95 530. (picked up for $60!) And aluminum eyebrows I made to give the front a more aggressive look. Very subtle though.

Now if I could only find a 745i to grab the turbo setup out of...

Carb cleaner, wire brushes and/or sand paper for the aluminum... soap 'n water and Rustolium Satin black for any faded plastic. :)

Not quite, but the adultery just makes it that much more sexy. She still has a pleading look in her eyes for m-parallels though.

Is this your commute or weekend car?

IMO, the white E34's always look nice and last (paint) longer... That's how I picked mine ;)

Weekend car. :)

I've owned it for two years and *might* have put 7K miles on it... stays garaged the rest of the time.
