So you drive a big six. What else you got?

Talk women (or men), politics, gripe about your 6er (or other ride), and speak your mind.

I picked up with a friend an e28 or actually 2x e28's. One a m535i dogleg with black sport leather interior and dogleg manual but full of rust. The other a late 1987 stronger bodied 535i auto.

The plan is to swap the manual interior and body kit to the late car. It's going to be for racing so interior will eventually go and initially we will turbocharge it to develop chassis etc. then we will build a 14:1 comp s38b38 as the class of racing we plan to enter will use a 35mm restrictor on turbo to limit to about 360bhp. Fun yes but not competitive. With the s38 its early days so numbers mean nothing but I'm sure we can get 500bhp or more. We already have th s38 and a billet Motorsport crank.

I no longer own my M635csi, as I sold it last Fall, along with a couple other cars, in order to trim the number down and fund a project car I was planning, but I still frequent and enjoy this Forum as a real BMW fan, especially the 70's & 80's models. My other cars include: '72 '02/M2, '85 Alpina B7 Turbo, '86 535i (project car), '88 M5, '89 M3, '93 NSX, '98 GTI, & '09 GMC 2500

Someone asked about how those with too many cars :D store them all and wanted pictures... so, here's my barn which hold mine :D

Among these 'other cars', I love the '64 & '65 Pontiacs!
The very first of the 'muscle car' era.
There was a '64 Mustang, but it wasn't a muscle car yet.
