I did a double take too....Looks like a gas powered slingshot, but I'm pretty sure is a gas powere auger for diging fence post holes or something.

Thanks for the compliments, I like the new look. Looking to get some euro tow hook covers and have the front bumper cover painted soon. I've got some E28 M5 rims I was going to put on it, but I think I'm going to stick with the BBS rims.

I like the BBS but you should try on the M5 wheels and show us some pics if you have a chance?

The e28 M5 wheels are pretty classic but if you're going to go old-school basketweave it might as well be multi-piece wheels with deep polished lip, maybe with gold-centers. I think the more open modern-basketweaves say "sport" a little more and those RGRs are probably a couple pounds lighter per corner anyhow.
Hot car.

RGR"S and S50's

mm I do love the RGR's.

I may have to sell my RS's and RM's to get a set ;-)

Hey didn;t you used to have an s50 conversion? what happened to that?

I want one of those too...

I still have the S52 car....Its up and running now, but still sorting out some bugs. Its a monster, and leaves the M3 in the dust. I've only got about 500 miles on it since the conversion since it (and the M3) are in Calgary and I've been workign out of Colorado lately.

I'd like to try the M5 rims, but they need tires and refinishing. With these wheels, i'm not very motivated to get that done.
