Thanks for visiting my page. This page is dedicated to me and my life with an E28 M5. I was one of the lucky few who took delivery of the first M5 to hit American soil. The 20 years of ownership have proved to be both frustrating and rewarding! The next few pages and pictures will show how I tried to rebuild the car the way the factory intended. Removing the DOT mandated 5mph bumpers was the first step to achieving my goal. This also proved the most difficult and expensive. I have tons of pics of the transformation and will take a few weeks to load. Please visit my page again for more updates.

My car was featured in European Car Magazine the October 1999 issue. It made the front cover and had an 8 page spread. Russ Bidrawn (now editor) took these amazing pics right before I started my transformation.

Yes this is me powersliding my car at a remote desert location. It took 9 tries just to get the perfect shot. My tires were toast!

You have an absolutely beautiful E28 M5. I know how it is to have love for a car. I have an E39 528. It's really nothing special right now, but as soon as I'm out of college I plan on changing that. 5 stars, awesome awesome awesome.

Absolutely beautiful car. I've been restoring an '84 533i for the past two years myself. I love the E28's in general and your car is at the top in any category of automobile. Beautiful job
