Fixed it up and got it road legal, then sold the wheels as they weren't my style and bought some 16x8 BBS Style 5s.

I polished the lips and painted the centers antrachite grey:

Put them on, lowered the car a lot and drove around like this for a while:

After going to the meet last night and being told I should post a thread on my cars I figured I may as well. So here goes.

This is my BMW e28 525e that I picked up 2 years ago. It's auto last owner had if for around 7 years and took decent care of it. Registration was on hold and no WOF, needed a few things but no big deal, just stuff like new rear shock mount and some rust holes in the drivers floor to be fixed.

This is how it was when I just got it and cleaned it up:

Was my first meet, had a good time.

10/10, would do again.

I'll come, will be my first one.

I'll be going, haven't been for a while.
