Build thread/running log of my E28? Guess I can do eet.

[Brian.]

Alot's happened in the last month and a half,  I quit both my jobs at the bank and Waste Management. Moved 100 miles, back home. Broke up with my girlfriend of 2 years. yada yada.

Not alot's happened to the BMW, I cut the rear fenders for more clearance/low. Fronts got shaved and pulled.

Went to DIV (Dubs in the Valley) in Oshkosh Wisconsin, had a BLAST!


I made the stupid comment after shaving and pulling the fronts of, "I hope someone cuts themselves on those fenders. Guess what, it happened, but it was my hand. Cut a ton of nerves, and have a huge dead spot in my hand. OH WELL.

After having the BBS Style 19's for a few months, I finally got unlazy. And took them off.  Was getting sick of seeing the chipped clear coat, and corrosion+ rusty hardware....

These are never going to look perfect again. They got pitted badly. But for what I had in mind, they'd work again.

threw on aircraft stripper, and stood back.

[Brian.]

After letting the air craft stripper fit for about 15 minutes, I removed it, and what laid underneath was like my first experience seeing a playboy magazine as a kid. I was speechless. So much nicer looking underneath that faded and cracked clear coat.

Then  we decided to reverse mount these.

I'm kidding.

This happened though, and I'm okay with this.

Better pictures to come eventually.

What paint did you use for the wheels? Came out a nice smooth matte finish

I didn't get stitches Nick. I probably should have, but I'd rather spend the money else where.
