Back with an update after about 3 months! The M5 has been used as the daily and after I finally stopped saving my money religiously I decided it was finally time to get wheels for the M5 so I settled with a nice set of 17" 5x120 Rays Volk ZE40's wrapped in stretched Dunlop Direzza tires and lowered to as low as the BC Coils can go and I personally think the car looks great! I think it might be time to find another car to fill the second spot in my garage Here are some pics of the car on the new wheels!
Finances: 17" 5x120 Rays Volk ZE40 x4: -V$2,500 11 weeks of paychecks:+V$8,250 Bank Account:V$105,460 |

Good choice for the wheels man! 17" seems quite small for an E39 but you got a great stance anyway, with the black paintjob it gives that VIP vibe! Also go get that second car

Thanks boys! Car is good where it's sitting at the moment, rides nice and doesn't bottom out as much as I had expected but I quite like how she sits at the moment, gives me VIP vibes! I also tried 18's off a fellow friends BMW but they kept rubbing up all over the fender liner and it was a nono for me, hopefully the new car comes in soon as well, did some searching for potential candidates last night!

So after a few weeks of hard work and motivation I have finally obtained two new vehicles off of my close friends at Copart and by obtained I mean stole! I got these two new cars for a literal steal! Now to stop the teasing and show the cars!
New Additions: 2007 BMW E60 M5 | 70,898 Miles | 5.0L S85B50 V10 | 500hp - 384lb-ft | Link: *LINK* 2015 BMW F10 M5 | 77,352 Miles | 4.4L S63B44TU TT V8 | 553hp - 502lb-ft | Link: *LINK* So both of the cars have been in my possession since the delivery 2 days ago and I just did extra scoping around and both cars seem to be in good condition excluding the front end of the F10 M5 along with the front right suspension which I'll have to examine closer soon, I peeled the plastidip that was on the OEM wheels and other than that the car seems to be in excellent condition all the way around! I have pulled the hood and the front bumper off and have sent them to a local body shop to get repaired so I don't have to fork over thousands on new parts. The E60 M5 was listed as having "Mechanical Damage" and I'm assuming it was just someone not replacing the necessary parts for the motor as this is the most unreliable BMW to date. Will be going through all the phases of repairing the E60 and see if replacing those parts will change anything. Hopefully these next few days will go well for me and the cars should run and look like new! Hope you enjoy the update, here are the pics! Finances: Delivery of both cars: -V$1,000 2007 BMW E60 M5: -V$6,900 2015 BMW F10 M5: -V$22,400 Bank Account:V$75,160 |

This madman got himself 3 M5s now!!! I've always loved the E60 and its glorious V10, i hope it doesn't have any major issues. With that mileage it should still be in good shape, it was the engine of the year after all! The F10 isn't really my thing though, well it's a V8 but being turbocharged it takes away that good ol' rumble. It's strange that it has more miles than the E60, and it's a lot for a car only 4 years old! Well at least it has only cosmetic damage, knowing you they should both be like new in no time!
Also we got to 250 posts |

Sooooo.... I decided to do another thing, I think it was 100% worth it!
New Addition: 1991 BMW E34 M5 | 124,075 Miles | 3.5L S38B36 Inline 6 | 311hp - 266lb-ft | Link: *LINK* So I decided to put myself even deeper into the hole I've already started digging collecting M5's for a living and located a SUPER CLEAN 1991 BMW E34 M5 for the low that I could toss into my current BMW collection! The car is stunningly clean even for having 124k miles and on top of that it drives like it came straight out of the factory! I'd have to say that this is the least powerful of my ///M cars but it has got to be the most realistic/pure driving car of the lot, it's just an amazing car overall and I don't have a single regret after purchasing this car! On the other hand I finally got the front bumper and hood back from my buddy's repair shop and the F10 is looking clean next to it's older brother! I got some major plans and parts have been ordered for the F10 so stay tuned for the next update!!! Enjoy the pictures I took earlier today before work! Finances: F10 M5 bumper and hood repair: -V$800 1991 BMW E34 M5 + Delivery to California: -V$10,870 3 Paychecks: +V$2,820 Bank Account:V$66,310 |

Back with a quick update and the F10 has finally got some work done to it! Lowered her on some BC Coilovers and grabbed me a set of Work Emotion CR Kais 18x9 fronts and 18x10 rears wrapped in Toyo R888's and coming next is some power mods! I'm planning on making some big power soon so I can run her against some unsuspecting opponents! Also taking a roadtrip to Oklahoma to join the boy Benjamin at the meet! Enjoy the sneak peek!

So I finally got back home from the meet with the boys and I was happy to finally get back home and enjoy the sight of all the BMW's I have accumulated these past 2 months! I ordered myself a clean carbon lip for the front end and 18x9 and 18x10 Volk RE-30's which currently fit my Toyo R888's that are on my CR-Kais so I went to my buddies place and got the old wheels taken off and tires removed and fitted to the RE30's and installed my lip in the meantime while I was there, on my way back I went to sell the CR-Kais to some local with an E46 he was modifying and then drove back home and took some pics of all my cars! Hopefully in the next update we'll be getting TONS of power upgrades in and make this thing a capable street car along with checking out the motor in the E60! Hope you all enjoy the pics from today!

Hey guys, back with another update and this one has a lot of relieving news! Yesterday I decided to remove the E60 from the garage and check up on the motor and after a few OBD2 scans I was finally provided info that the major problem with the engine was not what I had expected and it turned out to be a fuel system problem. I then proceeded to the local AutoZone and sourced myself a new fuel rail, injectors and connectors for the ECU harness and proceeded to go ahead and fix all of this today and the results has me ecstatic! I also had some BC racing coilovers ordered and installed them afterwards preparing the car for some new shoes!
I gave the car a few turnovers waiting for the eventual roar of the V10 and after the third press of the button the V10 came roaring to life! I have never been so relieved in my life to know that it wasn't a serious issue and proceeded to let the car warm up and did the unthinkable... I sent it out of the driveway and proceeded to rip her around the city until I eventually arrived back home with a smile going from ear to ear! Took some pics of the process by the way, enjoy!

So work and other responsibilities have taken over and I thought I'd drop the M5 off at a buddies local shop on my way to work and I do not regret it one bit! I dropped the car off to get an alignment and possibly some new wheels and it turns out I got both hehe.
I picked me up a clean set of 5x112 18x9 and 18x10 GL 57 CR's with Michelin Pilot Sport tires installed for a solid V$2,500 and the car is looking gorgeous as ever! The fitment/ride height has been adjusted so I don't ruin the wheel well and fenders while driving but still enough to look low and aggressive! I headed back to the garage after work and oh boy was I surprised! Take a look! Finances: 18x9 | 18x10 GL 57 CR's & Michelin Pilot Sports:-V$2,500 Paycheck:+V$940 Bank Account:V$60,810 |

5 spoke Gram Lights are one of my favorite wheels, they fit so well on so many rides! I thought 18's would look kinda small on an E60 but they turned out just right on yours

Lovely E34, congrats for purchasing it!
Since you said you won't hold back on fully modding it, I wonder what are you going to do with it..... |
