    Talking So I picked up a E39 5 series the other day

    So ya.. I got it for 3k... Was throwing a CHeck engine light and ran like shit! And one rim cracked.. Went to wheel wizards and BAM! Wheel fixed
    .. So I found out had a baaad VAC leak.. Fixed, problem was the vortex oil seperater.... BUT I still had the check engine .. Sooo found out wut it was .. Miss fire on cylinder1.. I replaced all spark plugs and that coil... Went to shop had the computer reset ...... CAR RUNS aMazing now!!!! All I need is a m5 front bumper.

    ! Head has been rebuilt including new VANOS
    Dinan software
    full Bilstein Suspension
    OZ wheels
    new clutch
    all electronics work!

    Where is two pics.. It's shorty as he'll and does not make car look as good as it really is

    when I brought it home:




    And after a little work:

    You took a trip over there recently? Seems like the more and more people I talk to about GTE have told me the same exact thing. They hate it

    Shows how much u know about me dumb fuck... And that's not much... And if I didn't get rid of good cars, I would not be driving good cars... I didn't work my way up from a 1500$ car by getting rid of junk.. Use ur logic and think about that.. That is if u have any.... And if u wanna come talk shit, come the the Gnet meet next thurs and do it in my face.

    Is that really worth it? A good paint job will cost at least what you paid for the whole car...

    I've been there plenty of times and never had a problem with them, they treated me/my car well and definitely know their shit.
