Small world... mine was an '83 528e in very nice condition. Owned by a Col. in the AF previously. Was totaled by a kid who rear ended me in an Accord with no license. I think I have a pic...



And yes, there is no 12 step program... my stable.

Not even joking, if you go ahead and make a kit that allows me to use an LS engine and a T56 trans I will buy it.

lol. Slight wheel spin. Not really lighting the up per say.

By the way, with your mods, do you lose traction from a standstill?

It runs 315's in the rear on 20's. You'd have to try and make it spin.

What were the production numbers on the 4.6? I didn't think they were all that rare. Learn something new all the time I suppose.

Yeah, just checked the wiki on the M62b46... I see why it's so valuable now. Only came in the e53 x5, morgan, and alpina cars. I can see why they are a rare beast.
