It is a good thing I like you so much Sia! I can see how I could be extremely jealous of your cars and dislike you for it. :laugh:

Great job on building the car bud. It is gorgeous. Nice magazine article too, congrats. :up:

Hey man, I had one magazine packaged for you last year when we went to Vintage, but you didn’t show up at our hotel to get it. However it is available on line if you like to order one or join us at RTT 2014 (have some real fun) and I will defiantly have one copy for you! :cool:

Troy, the junks that we are talking about are just pretty looking pieces of steel. I honestly don’t conceder myself as fortunate that I have few cars more than some people here, But I’m fortunate that I know people like yourself and others here as a friend, and that is my fortune!!!
I believe the measure of men’s fortune isn’t the amount on money or wealth that he may have, it is measured with the amount of friends and family that he would gather over the course of his life. Also this is a thread for my e28 S54, but again I can’t say no to you, so here we go!

This 525i is a pretty car. Bet it is fast too. Has it been repainted? Looks really nice. Not sure if the camera lighting is the reason, but in the article above it looks like the right front fender is a slightly different color. Been noticing that a lot of metallic cars. Those brakes are huge, too.

Thanks for sharing this. That's a neat motor. Looks pretty close to like it belongs in there!

I recall we did this dyno run after the car was completed and before the DME adaptation which is about 1000 KM driving process, just to see the difference in power before adaptation and after.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X0h_uh8BoI

After 1000 KM, we tested the car on another dyno session and the final result was, 291 HP, 265 Torque at the wheel at 7500RPM.

Amazing, Sia!
Been drooling over this car for a while now. I feel I'm at a point in my program where I can admit my obsession. I hope you don't mind, but I featured your car for 5erFriday!

Sia, the best thing about you building that car is the way you drive it! It is stunningly perfect in person. I recommend it makes a trip to the TOTD.

anyone in the "know" would look at the foot of rubber on the back rims and the 525i badge and just laugh.

During last year driving My e28 S54 after going to three long trips with many twisties, I found that my suspension although is all beefed up but still in a soft side, so I decided to replace them with the BC racing coilovers, which I heard from many members here and other forums that is a great up grade and gives you a super handling.

looking forward to warm weather!!!

I'm surprised you wouldn't have gone with maybe a higher quality coilover. Hope they offer the supper handling you are after.
