Went on BaT today, found some cool BMW stuff.

Not one, but two e28 M5's, one with a Dinan turbo kit.

Kinda unhappy that someone took a M3 in a special order color and then put rivet-on flares on it. Why hack it up? I personally don't think that the flares look good at all on it.

Not a BMW, but this caught my eye. I really like the livery, and its even got a dogleg 5-speed! Too bad it's rusty as hell.

I wish I had a ///M Coupe. A Hardtop M Roady does not a Clownshoe make.

Oh my goodness, that blue interior, I love it!

People are so bad at making ads though, holy hell. 

You ask $6k for a car and the best you can do is "Brett"

I almost bought that car for $2000 before this guy picked it up. It seems like he broke the window and is now trying to flip it lol

Edit: the car is still totally worth the asking price though due to the rare color and the goodies. This new owner is supposedly an enthusiast and has still not realized it has a euro m3 steering wheel (unless he pulled it out and that's why it isn't mentioned).

[Jdesign]

Yeah total price bump and not much has changed besides better pictures.

The 90's were a bad time for car culture... 20 years from now all these stanced cars will elicit same the disgust, groans and "what were they thinking?" comments. I guess we were all young once though.

Imitation and jumping on the bandwagon doesn't get you far. If you lack actual inspiration it's better to build your car towards some functional objective and let the form follow suit.

God dammit, I sound old!
