Just picked up this 85 535i for my son who will be getting his license next year. It's got the usual list of gremlins these cars have but it gives him a chance to get his hand dirty an learn about the car.
Coming from a 1990 e30 325ix, I find this to be very true. I loved my go-kart, but I love my cruiser even more now. A much more classy ride in my opinion. And a little more rare than the e30. Anyways, here's my cruiser. Running pretty stock.

Hi, this FRANZ, he has been painted like a WW2 Messerschmitt bf109. The Sharkmouth is an homage to "rusty slammington"
Finished modifying the fenders and took it for a spin today. The ride quality is actually pretty good considering how low it is. Fortune Auto coilovers 14K/14K. Ronal/ACT Mesh 16x8.5 et 10, 16x9.5 et 14
