[Moose]

They say you learn something new every day...I have! I have never seen clock set like that before!!!!

No rev counter then?

The car is BITCHING by the way

Nope, no rev counter

def the favorite car i've seen, what spring and shock combo are you running? are they cut? i'd love to go that low too!!

It is on a modified spring/shock setup in this shoot, if you want to go this low I would recommend a Ground Control Setup. Give them a call, you will want stiffer rates and revalved shocks. The ride was livable, but not ideal

[runningpanda]

Sick. That is the only word I can think of right now to describe the awesomeness of this car.

[Parts Dept]

Suuuuuweeeeeet!!!!111

[maldo]

nice but with the car so low what does it ride like also what about rear tire wear with he tires and such a extreme angle ?

[runningpanda]

I vote for a "Don't worry about it" kind of thinking, when the car looks that sick. Worth it to go with whatever downsides haha.

That is ridiculous.

[runningpanda]

Yeah.

[Moose]

Car rides normal unless hitting a big bump/dip then is harsher. Tires will wear out quicker to a point, but still will last 10,000+ miles aligning it the best you can

It is something you have to consider going in and definitely not for everybody, but it is what makes the car "right" IMO. Is not meant to perform ideally, but it looks sure looks good.

You know logic is not allowed here Chris.

I like the photos, but I won't say anything about the car. That wouldn't be nice.

every person on this thread ignored your comment that was said even by not being said.

why even come in here to write such a comment that carries this little of weight?

the car is as beautiful as the photography, so why discriminate.

I'll explain it to you:
the wheels are uber rare & in very aggressive fitment.
the wheels are mostly period correct 3pc. set.
the paint is stock & dead on!
the bumpers & rare interior are STOCK! so sweet.
the headlight assemblies as well are stock & aggressive.
nothing has been ruined or improperly touched.
the car doesn't rub or need to avoid majority of streets.
the uniqueness matches the rarity as far as E28's go.

just thought I'd teach ya a bit

[FABEL]

In a world without speed bumps and potholes and driveway entrances, I might run my car that low. This is not that world. Looks cool, though.

these comments never make sense

& to a person that chooses to take his time driving & evaluating road conditions,

IT IS WORTH IT.

everyone, I mean everyone agrees that a lowered car looks better. car companies, race teams, even hot rods all lower their cars for photoshoots . . . some choose to keep their car looking photo fresh 365 a year.

just because you can't handle the drive doesn't mean this is true for all.

I know this post probably seems harsh; maybe I am sorry for this.

regardless, it's his drive, so my thought would be that it's not for you to worry about.

[FABEL]

I give the rear tires 5k miles before cords are showing on the inside shoulder...

Chances are that you'll mash the oil pan before that ever happens though, so look on the bright side!

it's funny to read on how you are 'theory driving' his car as what will break/ wear through & when & all that jazz.

tell me more!

When did you become the Designated Apologist for the OP? With help like yours, I'd rather be on my own. FWIW, Kyle is right. There's no way in hell those rears will see 10k miles.

I just wanted to point out that, in spite of any color shift from the photos, I'd be willing to bet that is a Cardinal interior out of a US spec 535is. The sport seats certainly are. Taurusrot is darker, IIRC.

Get this, the car had all of that except for the "uber rare" wheels with "aggressive fitment" before this guy bought it. The car has been ruined with the "uber rare" wheels with "aggressive fitment." Looks like all you taught me was that is guy is ruining a perfectly-good car with rare parts. The car looks disabled. Even more so knowing it's a 525e. My 535is is low, but I can still get over a speed bump without having to look like a choad.

I respect the fact that these people want to do something with their cars, but I really cannot stand their superiority complex.

You don't have to teach me anything about stupidity, btw. I've got that down.

I tried to be nice earlier. Look what you made me do now.

[PMcD]

^^^I haven't heard someone use choad for a long time^^^^

That made my day... so thank you!

The wheels on my car do not need to be an "aggressive fitment," with over 400 ft/lbs of torque available at the rear wheels the engine does just fine at supplying that look!

[Moose]

Wow haha, this thread blew up.

The car is not for everyone, it has stretched tires, is stupid low, and the rear has a lot of camber. Fabel, I appreciate you attempting to "get my back", but honestly you are beating a dead horse, and making me look bad by arguing it as I do not side 100% with you and you have some misinformation there. I would have preferred the comment went unprovoked....

I couldn't care less if Kohler or anyone else doesn't like the car, I won't lose any sleep over it. I respect, and really like his car and the work he put into it, and hope he would be able to do the same, but it is fine if not I did chuckle at choad though, what a great underused word. However, ruining the car? Seriously? Come on man it just suspension and wheels.....


The interior looks brighter in those pictures than it is in person. It is definitely taurusrot, as to whether it is original or not, I would assume yes, but have no proof, nor do I really care. Thanks for predicting my tire wear though guys I will trust the guy who drove his car with the same specs to cali and back, then on to florida though, rather than a couple guys guessing as they dislike the way it looks.

At the end of the day it is MY car and it will be modded how I want. I understand that is not to some of your tastes, but does it really matter that much? We are all here because we like cars, no reason to get so bent out of shape of how mine sits.

[Moose]

I have no intelligent response or worthwhile input

Seriously am not allowed to CSB this guy?

[wkohler]

I couldn't give a flying fuck what you do with your car. I don't have to like it. You're not going to convince me that everytime you scrape the bottom of your car on something that you're not ruining it. Again, I don't care. I do care when a douche cruise ship comes in and tries to tell me that I am wrong and need to be taught something for giving my opinion. Actually, I never even gave my opinion because I was trying to be nice and not turn your thread into a circus.

Am I happy you are happy? Sure. I'm also happy it doesn't bother you I don't like your car, though for what it is, its one of the nicer-looking ones, at least in photos.

That was uncalled for, and as said, not my opinion, nor do I think it should have been posted. I don't blame you for responding to him, but my car came up so it involved me

The car is in decent shape overall. It is far from a concourse car and is my daily driver, I am enjoying the ETA motor, and it does well on gas. The only thing that ever really touched is the exhaust, doesn't bother me that much, nor do I consider it ruining the car. Is definitely not for everyone, and can see how some would consider that destroying the car.

[Kyle in NO]

LOL @ Douche Cruise Ship

[Jake D]

Moose,
The car looks very clean and Mike's does a great job of making even beat cars (ie "rusty") look great in photos, so it's pretty tough to judge the actual condition of your car... HOWEVER, it looks decent in the photo, so nice work. Your e28 is damn sharp, man!

I'm not a uberfan of the "Dunceworks" approach to ride height and wheel combo. It's my personal opinion that it looks cartoonish, but hey... it's your car, so my opinion should mean nothing in the grand scheme. I also respect that you posted the pic, knowing that everybody is not going to gush on and on about how amazing it is, but were mature enough to accept OUR opinions without feeling the need to defend your personal taste.
What Fagel (sp?) did is the typical response/approach to defending the style and trying to convince me that I'm wrong and he's right. Kudos to you for not coming in with a huge chip on you shoulder and that "I'm entitled" attitude.

Just sayin. You have your aggressive tire fitment and I have mine. I can't talk about my car?

I actually liked the car until Fabel was trying to shove it up my ass. I think I even said how I liked the finish on the raised portion of the spokes. If you're going to get all huffy-puffy than forget it.

What does CSB mean?

"CoooI story bro" Is just usually said when someone posts something irrelevant or unnessacary

It filters to " I have no intelligent response or worthwhile input " when posted on mye28 though. I am glad your car makes 400hp, but your post has nothing to do with this thread. Just to be clear was not posting that towards you haha, I am sure it looks confusing on your end. See my previous posts for my position on Fabel...

Oh, excuse me. I guess making a comment about getting power to the ground has absolutly nothing to do with wheels that are at a 45 degree angle.

I was more or less responding to Fabel, Anyway.

I knew you & I would get along. You know: "With friends like him ... "

I did chuckle at choad though, what a great underused word.

Occasionally, he awes all of us.

Well, dammit, you have to care! If we're all gonna be anal retentive, you have to be, too. It's a rule.

I think it's Cardinal because it's a sport interior and I don't think there was a Taurus leather sport interior. Given that the car is a 525, it's a lot more likely it didn't have either a sport or a leather interior originally.

Thanks for predicting my tire wear though guys I will trust the guy who drove his car with the same specs to cali and back, then on to florida though, rather than a couple guys guessing as they dislike the way it looks.

OK; here's what you gotta do. Haul that bitch to 5er Fest so we can:

1.) Eyeball the interior and give you an authoritative genuine anal retentive opinion on its color and originality and

2.) See whether your rear tires are worn out yet ...

Beers at Siebkens are on the guy who's wrong.

[Kyle in NO]

There was indeed a Taurus sport interior. Jon in Richmond had one in his M535i. Rare, yes, but it was available and shouldn't be surprising being that it is a Euro car.

[dunnojack]

there was one in my M535i as well.

[wkohler]

You could order a Euro car however you wanted. This car has Taurus interior and they're manual sport seats, so I don't understand why its being questioned.

[C.R. Krieger]

Because I'm just as anal as you ...

[I didn't notice they were manual; and I didn't know there was a sport interior in Taurus. So I owe him a beer. But I still got a shot on the tire wear. ]

[Moose]

Unfortunately will not be making it out to 5er fest this year, the timing just does not work out with school/work, but am going to push to make it happen the year after that. I will report back on the tire wear, looks like the interior battle has already been completed

Even though the car is a 525e, it was pretty optioned out. I have all the paperwork on it being imported, and it was either ordered optioned well, or someone spent some money on it. Has Mtech Flares/Wheels and potentially suspension? As well as the sport interior etc.

[alpinamotorsport]

I agree with the general sentiment re: the rear camber and ride height, but other than that, that car is simply stunning.

[David B]

Your car looks great all of it, the color, wheels, very good job.

actually . . .

I can & probably DO agree with everything written here.

it's probably the nicest yet still direct reply wkohler has ever written me & I don't expect more of it in the future.

however,

I cannot get upset over the uber stuff as it did not ruin the vehicle; it is reversible without any ill effects.

wkohler made A LOT of good points here.

& just shows Moose to have atttempted extreme fitment for a bit while enjoying his 5 in a way that many other owners never have/ will or even know exists.

I am just grateful for him sharing.

Moose, please continue to do so
