Well, I figured I'd come in here and introduce myself. I just moved out to Oahu last week and found a place in Mililani. recently finished up a M60B40 + 6 speed swap on my wagon before leaving The South, if all goes well it should be out here in a few weeks! Looking forward to meeting the local BMW guys and seeing some of the other cars on the island.
Also picked up this guy as a beach cruiser and something to drive while I wait for the Alpine wagon to come in.
Is anybody in close with the guy down at Sand Island Auto? I'm trying to get a whole bunch of stuff off that wagon they are parting (it is SUPER clean), but when the total was tallied he told me $1700. I told him to kick rocks.

You should pick up the white e34 m5 for sale
nice wagon! please read into taking the appropriate steps attaining a recon certificate and state safety check for the wagon you are bringing over, the rules are a shame but can be overcome if prepared for it.

Sick touring, You could always raise the car up and put some stocks on and get a safety. The touring should be stealth enough to get a safety without recon, one would hope
Do you have a link? I have seen it mentioned several times but (and have seen pictures from time to time in the E34 section), but couldn't find a link. I would be interested.
I am, and have the forms to be able to keep my AL plates, but they expire in Nov anyways, so that would only be a short term solution. Plus I'd rather not continue to run those anyways.
I don't foresee recon being too big of a problem. It sounds like the engine/drivetrain are all non recon items and that that only thing that I could come up against would be getting the alignment within stock specs as low as it is. Worst comes to worst and I can always just raise the car on the coils, or swap back to a traditional strut/spring setup. (After seeing the roads down here, I was contemplating that anyways.) And of course get an alignment within 30 days.
This is the best info I have found on the matter: http://www.paradisecruisers.com/SMF/...ic=4535.0;wap2
Anyone notice anything that was missed?
