1994 BMW E34 M5
Some really gorgeous cars in here. But I have to ask, what do some of you do for a living to afford such expensive cars? I've lived in West Vancouver since the late 80's and within the last 5 years I've seen the city's exotic car population sky rocket, considering Vancouver is somewhat of a small city it seems as though I see more and more Lamborghini's and Ferrari's than one would normally expect, Vancouver isn't Beverly Hills or Miami. So it had me wondering how some of you are able to afford 2, sometimes 3 high end cars plus the cost of modifications. I work 5 days a week at a computer repair shop, own a '94 M5 and with the cost of owning a house in the Properties I couldn't possibly see myself being able to afford a LP640 Roadster or a Scuderia.

Quite unexpected but it's actually quite cool!

It was down to 8/9 degrees a couple days ago!

Took some snapshots the other day with the clear skies above (but cold temps). Just thought I'd share...

I just put the V10 side skirts and the V10 engine vents on it. ADV 07 Track Spec wheels are going on in a couple of weeks, and yes, very likely will lower it with H&R springs once winter is officially over.

Sounds great but are you planning any performace mods?

The car looks really great. I think it's love at first sight with the R8
Is all that CF around the engine stock (from the factory) ? I know you have to pay extra for the CF side panels.

I'm looking into doing the Stasis exhaust, but the ECU mod doesn't yield significant gains on this motor, unless you change the intake manifold as well. I doubt a turbo or supercharger is on my horizon.

Yes, the CF engine bay is a factory option, and it's a must-have if you ask me...along with the engine bay LEDs.

You guys are going to laugh, but I had to scrape ice off my windshield this morning.

Yes you drive a very subtle car. It blends right into the crowd, no one will ever notice it....now with mods of course it will be a totally different story
