Since this has turned into a tiny 'Houston'-fest... I'll ask this here:
who drives the, and forgive me for getting this wrong b/c I'm kind of color-blind,... grey'ish, possibly silverish e28 that lives out towards Katy.

I've seen one on the freeway as I'm driving home (usually about 4:45ish at this point in the drive) a few times... never got really close enough to wave or otherwise get a better i.d. on the car.

I can't tell what model of 5, I just see the shape. The color, in the semi-blinding sun at that time of day, is .. I think... grey'ish or silvery (it'll probably turn out to be red or blue though!.. damn my rods and cones!!

)

It is the only e28 I've seen out that way, ever... I figure it must be someone on the board here... the chances are -at least-... 7%?

I spotted your M5 yesterday parked ramp side near your building. It looks great. I don't care for the M Parallels though. IMO, the round openings and smooth spokes don't enhance the look of the E28 body style. E28. Style 5s, 42s, 19s, 32s all seem to flow better.

Thanks. That's actually another M5 that will be for sale shortly. I'll be starting a thread on my new purchase soon.

Now I've seen them both.

It was fun, Thanks Chris.

Ditto. Looking forward to the next running of the M5's!

Well.....the Rudy ride is now mine and a work in progress, LOL. Interesting read on this one though....lots of good parts that far surpassed the asking price in value.

I'm in Atascocita...keep me in the loop on any future gatherings.

First post though.

Welcome and Enjoy.

We had 4 local ///M5 cars together on Friday afternoon.

Looking forward to seeing the ///M5 in the flesh.

Yep...deflowered here officially.

I am working on the big issues with the car now...not a bad car on the whole, but you can definitely tell it had been in storage for a good while. Best part is the car is complete (short of a few items) and wasn't modded by previous owners. I have resurrected a lot worse than this...just have to get back in my Euro mindset.

Be good to see the other Ms in town...

Waiting on the snakes to get coated, and I have an issue with one of my half shafts.

p.s. would you be willing to sell a half shaft off of one of your parts cars? I'll call you later on in the week if so.

I could use them for rollers for a parts car if you want to put them to good use.
