View Full Version : gratuitous shot
rockytt 07-14-2008, 01:46 AM Just got the car back from the shop yesterday and had to post a quick pic-LOTS of work done to finally bring her up to spec and I'll be excited to finish things up over the next couple of weeks.

MrBenz 07-14-2008, 02:05 AM oh my...sexy car. Is that an OEM color. It's really nice.
I was torn between an E31 or and E36/8 as my first BMW. I love just being rare. I ended up with an E36/8 but I will own an E31 one day.
OT: I just friend requested that shops myspace page not too long ago. great place? pretty damn close to me.

Auraraptor 07-14-2008, 06:34 AM Looks great! What spring package do you have/run?
rockytt 07-14-2008, 09:43 AM I'm actually running the H&R/Bilstein combo - (and contrary to other folks' experience she doesn't sag in the rear-although I'm starting to...)
The color is Mauritius Blue and is stock, although I did have the roof painted black.
Great shop-Chad is one of those guys you could send your Mom over to see and he'd take great care of her (car).
300E? - Wasn't that the Hammer?
Here's one more shot from rear to give you an idea of the rake (on this car) with the H&R/Bilsteins:

afizidris 07-14-2008, 09:50 AM rockytt, she looks soooooooo good from the back
Koizumi 07-14-2008, 12:33 PM Awesome! The Bilsteins in the rear will raise the butt a little (so as to somewhat offset the too-low sag of the rear H&R's). Your car looks amazing!!
pinned 07-14-2008, 12:54 PM Very very nice.............
Beautiful car, thanks for sharing :)
Koizumi 07-14-2008, 01:50 PM I don't know about the 714/949, but watch out for those front plate tickets. Especially when you park your car in a public metered place. The Parking Violations go-karts are very very quick on the draw here in Los Angeles :( I wish that I could roll w/o a front plate, but it's simply not possible in L.A. The cops and the parking violations enforcement idiots are ultra-vigilant. The 8 is not meant to have a front plate IMO. Oh well, such is life in plastic surgery disaster orange suntan face LA-LA Land.
Staehling 07-14-2008, 02:26 PM Looks MEAN!
What mufflers/tips are those?
rockytt 07-14-2008, 03:46 PM Just a set of Magnaflows - can't remember the # off the top of my head - with a custom X-pipe. (Very rumbly-if that's actually a word...)
bRIZZAd 07-14-2008, 07:27 PM Lookin good! I'm a bit biased on the color though... :)
rockytt 07-14-2008, 08:54 PM Best color out there!
Toy72 07-15-2008, 02:38 AM Hells Yeah!!! Looking good, Brother. Looking real good.
J.Bimmer 07-16-2008, 12:37 AM Awesome car, I love the color.
smokum 07-16-2008, 12:55 AM What brand wheels are those on your e34?

KevinR840 07-17-2008, 12:25 AM What mufflers do you have on your car if you don't mind me asking, tomorrow i plan on getting two mufflers welded in and don't know what to go with.
Thanks,
Kevin
