Very nice, the BIG 6. Hey is that snow on the ground?

Yea, unfortunately! That was 2 days ago - they called for a dusting, and we got 4 inches. Tomorrow, they are calling 10-14 inches in my county (between the Mason/Dixon Line and PA Turnpike), so we'll see how many feet we get...sigh. No more driving the e34 for a few days.

Looks great Eric. Now all you have to do is get that dent fixed.

I have a guy trading me the K&N Air filter (which probably decreases power and gas mileage since it's RIGHT over the exhaust manifold) for a good turn signal housing, and I think most of the dents (the one on the fender, and the 2 on the hood) should be able to be paintlessley removed. It has some touched up area's, but that's all stuff for the spring!!

Looks awesome! Is that an aftermarket air intake in there? Usually the factory air boxes draw air from outside as opposed to right from the engine bay (which is typical for an aftermarket short air intake).

I said it before. It's hot but ditch the hot air intake.

I agree 100%. Yeah they're cheaper and yeah maybe in winter it's cold enough to get away with that thing drawing in air from the engine bay, but during the summer I bet it works against you. I just wasn't even sure if that was OEM or not, but I guess I should have known that BMW would never do anything like that (since they take so much pride in their engineering skillz).
