Yeah, it's arguably the most recognizable modified car on the web, even jalopnik reported on it when it met it's end (possibly) earlier this year. In four years the guy went from pristine e28, to wrecked pristine e28, to rust car, to chop top 2jz swapped e28 on bags, to flaming scraps of metal, to ???? (he says he's gonna bring it back, after seeing the pictures I have my doubts)

 

Lol, Western doesn't do it that hard...yet.

 

Just you wait. Slammed, chop top Ti anyone?

 

I've been meaning to ask you, how do you like that car? I planned on buying one before i got my SC. Same color too.

 

Thanks?

Thats b/c I just simply don't give a fuck and I do my own thing... The car flows w/ my attitude... Its just as controversial as the last primer scheme I had on the s10... Which any body man knows was for blocking purposes...

 

You mean western doesnt park THAT hard.

Function > form.

Ive never liked that BMW, at any point of its wasted life. the only thing cool about it was the 2JZ swap.

 

I guess you're talking to me? Well Reloaded isn't lying when he says it's one of the slowest, ugliest (depending on your perspective) BMW ever made. I just wanted something cheap, good on gas, and RWD. Mine is fucking cherry, most of the ones still on the road at this point have been relatively well maintained or enthusiast owned. I've had surprisingly few mechanical problems compared to what you'd imagine on an old car. (let alone an old german car) It's slow but has a very capable platform, shares most parts from the A-pillar forward with the E36 sedan, pretty much everything back is Ti-specific except the subframe and semi-trailing rear arm suspension which are actually taken from the old E30s, this gives it a different feel in terms of handling to other E36s. Any swap you can do into a regular E36 you can do into a Ti (and there are a bunch of them) and the Ti is a good 600 pounds lighter. (at 200whp it would have the same power/weight ratio as the equivalent M3) They make great drift/track/autox cars too from what I hear. You can get them so cheap now too that they've become cheaper than the equivalent Civic, so you get nice stuff like one touch windows, one touch sunroof, (also this cool thing where if you leave the windows and sunroof open, you can lock the car, hold the key in the lock position and it rolls them up, it has an official name but I can't remember it) and even heated seats in some cases for less than 3 grand all in a perky, RWD package. Still gonna be pretty slow (0-60 is gonna take a cool 10 seconds) in a straight line though. Even though it's slow it has character and I've come close to selling it several times but at the end of the day I could never go through with it.

 

I loved it at this point:





First picture taken the night he got it, within a year it had been wrecked, repaired, and FUBAR'd though as far as I can tell.



But enough pictures of the zombie car, here's my baby the day I bought her. bawww.




Excuse the cheesy soft focus effect.

 

actually, i will take that back. i forgot the car was actually clean at one point in time.

 

I think it's cool just for the fact that a couple of the various stages have been so unique,especially for the BMW scene.Even better when all the BMW elitist get all butthurt about some of the stuff he's done.
