Yup, the car looks extremely hot. I agree, the last picture is awesome.

I think your bumper fell off somewhere!
That's a hot looking ride! What's the plan for the front?

Kudos, that's one bodacious e28, with awesome pics to boot
... definitely not my cup of tea though; wheels are way to large

Good and bad.
I think these cars look great without front bumpers (but WITH a spoiler)---
BUT, those wheels are just too damn big...Everything but the wheels is nice. And yeah, that last shot is ballsy.

Reminds me of a photo a friend of mine took of his wrx sitting across 4 lanes of our biggest freeway on Christmas morning when there were no cars around. Love it.
Hartge respect. Although 19's are a litttttttle too big for my taste, you pulled them off nicely!

GEORGOUS!!!!! thats a great example of sexypants E28. was about to say you're missing a front bumper but you've really got that bit right, it works with a black E28, well done!

Whoa didn't even realise the front is bumperless! Wow that's stunning. This is why I want to go bumperless. It's cheaper then euro bumpers, and it looks a hell of a lot better than U.S. spec bumpers.

how much is the car lowered? other than rolling the fenders did you need to do anything else to avoid rubbing?
very nice looking ride by the way.

What's all the hubbub bub? I see this is newest work of art stirring up a little wheel controversy. I can dig it. How's the ride? With that low of a profile tyre, I hope potholes aren't a major issue in your part of town.

Ewww. They looked like crap on his car and aren't doing your car any favors. I just don't like 19" wheels on these cars. Nothing personal. Nice car, otherwise.
