Thanks Ryan !

... why are the above letters capitalized...? ...is that code or am I just reading it like a freaked-out twit..? ...I've been doing that alot today it seems...

Mark,

These were taken in the Oak/King Edward cubby corner. Lots of Gargantuanitis Homeus... and the trees, when stripped bare of leaves, are ******* EPIC.

1989E34M5,

The ride is definitely stiffer now. I've kept the stock Springs though, just in case the next owner wants to go back to stock. I still even have the stock (dreaded) TRX setup with crunchy tires. Mods are very minimal and can always be placed back to stock form... . I'm quite out of touch with the M6 market right now. I do know that they are extremely rare up here though. A clean, original, fully-documented example would surely sell for a healthy premium.

Thanks for the comps gang...

Wow! Really? EBay came through for you? Do you know if they guy was selling multiple parts?

Good one on the shipping! I love it when a Canadian gets a break on shipping; I could spend all day on how UPS screws over people.

As for Blaine! Yeah I hear you on that! Hagen's rules! Great people!

Thank you sir..

The H&R lowering springs dropped the front about 1.50". They advertise that the drop will be about 1.25" but I'm positive it's more than that on my car.

My wheel/tire sizes are 18x8 w/ 235/40 and 18x9.5 w/ 265/35

Yes, I also agree with your decision to keep the 16's. It they fit, look, ride and feel in the way that pleases you, don't change a thing. Do you have a deeper offset wheel..? I found the stock TRX setup a little too saucy for my liking. I've just always been attracted to the old-school 80's E24 Touring car racers, therefore I like to bring out the more aggressive, character-driven, shark-like demeanor that evolves from both cosmetic and mechanical tweaks/upgrades.

If I can locate a sweet set of old-school BBS 17" staggered, deepdish wheels (with the 10" wheel out back) these M-parallels will be replaced.

Cheers,
B.

As always great looking pics.

[MrE]

That stance is pretty sweet! Great colour, great wheels, great car, its a package that's hard to beat.

And the photography really brings out the menace too. Great stuff.

Damn that looks hot. Makes me want to pick up a 6 now! Any M6s floating around? Looking at the old 6 highlights even more how much of a bloated whale the new six is.

i saw you sharking on the granville mall on saturday at about 3pm in the 6er
