Album Pics Posted

I just posted some pics of my beast in a new album. Everything is stock right now and it'll probably remain like that for a while - I ain't complaining! It's a black interior with the wood trim. I think we can all agree that pictures sometimes don't do this type of car justice - it has to be seen in person. I was amazed at how awesome the wheels are when I first got it...love those lips!

Pics are in an album in his public profile.

Very nice beast D-RODM5! Hope the day trip was a blast.

One great thing about this car is being able to leave it stock and still finding excuses to drive it all the time..... that being said once that mod bug bites it is quite addictive Enjoy the beast!

Here are his pics:





Absolutely beautiful beast. I imagined N. Dakota to be arctic, snow-covered tundra.

ECB, thank you for that - wasn't sure how to include them in the post yet.

Gentlemen, thanks for the compliments. I apologize, I meant to say I added them to my public profile album.

Sure enough, I find any small reason to drive the beast, even just going out to the supermarket to buy milk (I think it drives my wife nuts, hehe)!

I forgot to ask, sometimes when I park on a slight slope my e-brake won't hold the car in place - it'll slide slightly and won't stop. I find that I have to park it in gear with the e-brake. Does this happen to anyone else?

P.S. - ECB, N. Dakota right now is pretty cold..the snow is melting off. Only thing is we have about another 4 months or so of winter =\ . I should also take care to mention that the pics were taken before winter came around.

A loose e-brake can be adjusted. Here is one thread that addresses it:

Very nice pics, I applaud your choice of color

As for the E-Brake, you can adjust it, but for some reason with all my/my families BMWs, I've never had a good E-Brake...I don't know what it is....even adjustments only last a few weeks.

Pull it way up, and leave the Beast in gear and it should be fine.
