It's not perfect, and it has an electrical gremlin or two (very typical for e34's, I'm learning), but it runs very smooth and strong. First order of business is to sort out the gremlins, and find some M5 seats and rims for it... It is also an auto trans (which works very well), so I will eventually to a manual swap to it also, but I'll wait for the trans to wear out first. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.
