my 1988 M6
Hello guys...happy to be here and see some more 6ers out there as they're somewhat rare here in Atlanta.
Here is my car currently...pretty much replaced every nut and bolt on this car and fully rebuilt the engine to OEM specs with the exception of MAF conversion and Euro headers and custom exhaust with a Supersprint muffler. I am searching for a Mtech front end for my car to complete my look.
And yes the car is bagged. I like the low look but I want to drive it everywhere and not destroy the car =)
Thanks!

Re: my 1988 M6
Oh dang, nice
Love the interior upgrades, non-stock power seats, non-airbag steering wheel, you'll have to tell us more
Need more photos from under the hood as well, looks like some lovely colored bits there
And please do yourself a favor and add your location in your profile, before you get hollered at

Re: my 1988 M6
It does look very nice. A credit to you. I don’t mind the red plenum and valve cover. A nice individual touch without bastardising it too much

Re: my 1988 M6
Nice looking work. What sort of wheels are those? If you get up to Greenville or Spartanburg, SC, please let me know.

Re: my 1988 M6
That is nice work in the trunk. Both utilitarian, and luxurious at the same time.

Re: my 1988 M6
I love those Recaro's. I wish I would have gotten those before rebuilding sport seats but no regrets. Nice job.

Re: my 1988 M6
You are an absolute tease. Please post a link to where you store photos. I want lots of underhood pictures just as Bobbo asked - but more!!
Agreed that you put lots of beautiful, serious work into the car. Not what I would do but I can appreciate the beauty of what it is. Thanks for the tease

I believe you could eat off of any part of that car. It's just immaculate.

Re: my 1988 M6
Im working on the engine bay as we speak. It will be nothing crazy just clean with a part painted here and there. I had recently the power steering hose bust in the middle of a road trip and it looks like a crime scene underneath right now...I really don't take many pictures of my car its always someone else. Haha...But I will as soon as I wrap up the under the hood portion.
