I'm at a loss for words. It just looks like they searched eBay, got every aftermarket doo-dad and bolted it on.

"welcome to my world"? i guess it's a change from the old "get in sit down shut up and hang on"

If thats authentic luis vuitton leather - which i doubt- its worth more than the car. haha.

[SchnellE34]

You would think with all the money he has, he could afford a better camera...

[ericcamaro]

damn id like it about 10 times more if I never saw the interior.

The original Louis Vuitton monogram covering is usually canvas as it was designed to be hard wearing to cover luggage. It would still be worth more than the car if genuine and I doubt that it is as you can't just walk into your local parts store and buy a couple of metres of the stuff!!!

I have two comments on the monstrosity:

1. Who's your daddy? The owner is obviously a small white (I'm white so I can say that!) single runt who thinks that by pimping his car he can get b**ches.
2. "Now where else can I stick a BMW roundel?"

I wonder if this guy is selling so he can buy that purple 650 love machine?

im not a big fan of that rear bumper/ the interior and the m20 is still and anchor for this car. although I still have my m20 in my car soon to change with the m30 transplant.

[Nick.Hay]

I like the LV fabric, tho its somewhat chiche in the 'pimp my ride' world now!!

"Who's your Daddy??" Definately not you, cockhead... My Dad RESPECTS his E34!! And that body kit is well gay too!!

[F4Phantom]

its funny this stuff is not cheap, he likes his car and in many ways it looks good, the main letdowns are that silly tag line, the body kit which is way too haundai excellish, a few to many bmw badges. i dont have a big problem with a lot of the other stuff.

[Nick.Hay]

The money has been definately spent on the car...

Pity the styling came straight from the 'poo-shoot'!!

Atleast it doesn't have spinners!!

This Car is Extremley Fast at High Rps 4000+ and puts out well over 260hp
4000 revolutions per second? That puts it at 240,000 RPM ?! Now that is an upgrade that's probably not cheap.

Of course, his final drive is like 180:1, so there's hardly any stress on the driveshaft as long as it is perfectly balanced. The biggest problem is lubricating your engine with molybdenum :D

[bahnstormer]

i'm gonna need one of you canadians to proxy bid on this one for me
i must have it!

[Espen]

Hmm he says it has over 260hp.. That about 100hp more that original.

the engine mods are theese:

Dinan Catback System
Dinan Highflow Manifold
Dinan Performance Chip
K&N Cold Air Filter
Shrik Performance Cam

In my world , that would never give as much as 100bhp.

Sounds a lot like many people on this board in varying degrees.....

And whats wrong with that?

[Scott H]

but don't sit in this thread and rip the car on Ebay while pimping yours out with angel eyes, eyelids, wings, skirts, E39 M-sport knock-off bumpers, interior tweaking, cut springs, 19"+ wheels, etc etc etc


And whats wrong with that?

[winfred]

it does if you add up all of the ******** numbers listed on each box

at those speeds it would need those cool magnetic suspension bearings where the rotating assembly floats in a magnetic field

How about my pimp ass push switch start ???

[Scott H]

How about I pimp your sister...

Go for it... maybe she will learn something about the real world then.....

And let's run the engine in a vacuum, for good measure.

From Wikipedia: Enriching uranium is difficult because the two isotopes are very similar in weight: U-235 is only 1.26% lighter. It requires a centrifuge that can spin at 1,500 revolutions per second (90,000 RPM).

To reduce friction the rotor spins in a vacuum. A magnetic bearing holds the top of the rotor steady, and the only physical contact is the needle-like bearing that the rotor sits on.
Actually small gas turbines spin faster, some up to 165,000 RPM. They use some type of foil or hydrodynamic bearings. Pretty sweet, and not too expensive. I guess that's why he didn't list them in the upgrades. :)

The brake pedal's upside-down.

That LV upholstery is a joke. I'm surprised he didn't go the whole nine yards and just upholster the interior in $100 bills.

So funny, and so sad at the same time. :(
