    I followed an Interlagos E90 M3 sedan last week on 280N near Los Altos, FST STIG was the plate I think? I've also seen it a couple times on De Anza in Cupertino. Love that color/car!

    Spotted a euro light blue (polaris blue?) E24 635CSi today in Foster City. Spotted an '88 635CSi again later. I was in a henna 635CSi, what's with all the 6ers in Foster City? I then drove by a white '85 635CSi that was parked on the side of the road.

    The suspension is about as done up as it will get short of me dropping a few grand into coilovers. Poly bushings and subframe inserts, bilstein sports, H&R springs, adjustable sways, wider than stock wheels, and Bavaria front control arms (-2.5 camber, +4.0 caster). Handles like a dream, very hard to break the car loose. Could be the blown engine, but that doesn't stop me from driving the piss out of the car.

    The engine is a stock M10 I bought from the above poster that outed me by name. I put it in in april as a spare while I refresh the orignal engine. It's got a Weber 38/38, top end performance 4-1 header, broken ansa muffler (held up with a coat hanger wrapped in a shop rag), resonator deleted, JB racing flywheel, and extreme blowby on the rings. I put the engine in with about 50% leakdown past the rings, and bought two cases of oil. So far I've managed to go through 22 quarts of oil since april - subtract 4 for the original fill, and I've burned 18 quarts of oil. I just change the filter, and add a quart every time I fill up.

    Body work has been a mix mash of paint jobs in poorly ventilated areas and beer induced artwork. They start off halfway decent and well planned, and by the second coat the paint fumes have gotten to me so bad that it seems like a good idea to half ass the entire thing. One of these days I'll paint the car somewhat respectably, but until then I'll keep pissing off the crazy lady at the end of my street. She complained to me that my car "looks like it's 20 years old".

    My best advise if you spot me again, try to stay in front of me - I tend to blow out massive clouds of oil smoke.

    BTW, my gas pump antics are pretty much the only way to keep the gas from spitting right back out, ask just about any old car owner about that one. I'll admit I exagerated a bit this time.

    I've seen you a few times going up Serramonte Blvd. I wouldn't have guessed stock M10. I think you should keep the rat look, once the motor work is done it would be a nice sleeper.

    I work across the street from you. Alpine E30 318 in our bullpen.

    somebody has a super clean bright red E34 535i (pre-'95) manual in brentwood that's lowered on what look like 18s and has some kind of really nice sounding aftermarket exhaust. probably the best looking E34 i've seen in person

    I think I've seen your car before. We have a hell of a time parking at our shop, the lot is too small... Babies R Us called the cops to get us towed, Kohls almost towed my friend's Evo, Target threatened tows. We've gotten stuck parking on the side of michael's, and someone at target locked the gate we use to get onto the dealer lot. I've been jumping the fence, but all the other (old) guys can't make the jump.

    Blew the alternator on the 02 a couple days ago, I've been driving the beat up orange beetle with a stinger and expired tags up until this evening when I had time to fix the 02.

    And yes, I do live right down that street! I'll be on the lookout for you.

    Was it silver with black wheels? Might have been me I'm in and around the area often.

    What's up guys. I spotted a debadged AW E92 M3 lowered on 19 or possibly 20's with a E92 plate on 680N by San Ramon. Did a nod but both our car windows were tinted so couldn't see you. Clean lookin ride though.

    '09 AW 535i.

    Yup, we used to park up by Aaron Bros. in the target lot, and got some email from the "Security Manager" saying we couldn't park there. Our bullpen is packed to the brim with emp. cars, so I'm thinking I may just park on Collins or risk a tow at Target lot.

    Saw you driving it out @ 5ish yesterday.

    I believe so.

    How about an E63 M6 in Interlagos Blue on El Camino at San Bruno Avenue around 10 PM last night? You made a left turn onto San Bruno Avenue, car didn't sound very stock.. the S85 was roaring.

    No, it's the rat looking one. Red roof and white body, beat up but sexy looking.

    Also, Anyone drive a white E30 325i I believe, it had a plate reading 'GLOFF' and a sticker that had the Stig on it, with the wording 'The Stig'. You were parked in the second floor Target parking lot at Tanforan, by the stairs that lead down to the food court.
