BMW

BBS LM's are an amazing looking wheel with a design that never goes out of style. Some might say the LM is played out but I would rather go with timeless, BBS is one of the few wheel manufacturers with a near flawless record of putting out designs that are versatile, unique, sought after, and often imitated but never duplicated. I did a BBS LM appreciation post last year and the time as home for me to do it once again, hope you don't mind.

Mike Burroughs, over at Stance Works, isn't a person afraid of breaking new ground, as I am sure you guys already know based on what he has done with rusty, this is also very much apparent done with his freshly finished one of a kind s54 powered e36 which has already been posted on both HellaFlush and Speed Hunters. However with all of the coverage his e36 getting I think a lot of people are over looking the fact that with this build he has spurred the development of small number, high performance, AST coil over setups designed for handing well, while being low.

Taking it back to Cali again, this time courtesy of Adam who is the owner of two clean, low rides. The first one is a Euro while the second is classic California Sunday cruiser. New school or old school Adams got you covered.

Yesterday I attended the' Stretch and Poke' meet presented by the Toronto Wrong Fitment Crew and had a blast. This was probably my favorite event so far this season and I will make a point to attend every event they put on because it was just an all around good vibe. Both my girlfriend and I shot a number of photos and she was able to get her's edited before me (big surprise I know) so here is a little taste of the meet through the lens of Elle Marie Photography.

Rolling shots are really an art, whether meticulously planned or a random snap out of a window they always have a way of bringing out the best parts of a car and minimizing the worst. Maybe that's why Rolling shot appreciation threads can be found on virtually every car forum on the net, here is my homage.

I could have called this 'Event Coverage: Rich People Envy' because after I left Yorkville, where the Gumball cars cruised to in Toronto, I was fairly jealous of what all of the Gumball participants get to do. Driving from city to city in a 'rally' and stopping off at local tracks and party hot spots and having enough money have to care about things going wrong is every automotive enthusiasts dream.

Not sure why it took me this long to do a Theme Tuesday dedicated to e36s but it did, so without further adieu here is something for the e36 lovers. Warning you will see lots and lots of style 5's in this post, but that's not a bad thing. I also included a few local e36s in the mix.

Maybe it's just me but I have always thought these cars looked like shoes, not to say they are not capable of looking good or performing well (as this post proves), but they still look like shoes. Maybe the perfect car for a sneaker aficionado?

This is really weird, a member on JDMrides had a CF DA hood for sale that 11 people said they would but all flaked out for one reason or another. So instead of throwing it in a corner and waiting for a new buyer the seller got frustrated and filmed himself destroying the usable hood. There is something to be said here about the western society and waste but that's for more sophisticated blogs, here I just say WTF.

When I was working on last weeks e30 touring Theme Tuesday I came across this really nice e30 coupe. These pictures are nowhere near new since I have seen them before (2001 2002 maybe?) but I don't like this car any less now than I did then. This e30 just goes to show how far ahead Europe was (and arguably still is) and that nothing is new these days just old stuff done differently.

JDM rides member, xxbvanxx, hosts weekly Sunday night meets in the Square One mall parking lot here in Mississauga. This year the kick off meet was promoted about two months in advance and highly anticipated. As Sunday April 25th finally rolled around the weather looked like it could be a problem, but it eventually cleared up long enough for 200-300 cars to gather for about 20 minutes before being told to leave by the local Police department.

Some of you might remember this e46 m3 I threw up awhile back in a post titled "Just Right". Well this time a non M owner has come through to show us that with this chassis sometimes less is more.
