Fuck the E65, fuck the W220 (2000-2006 S-Class) biggest POS ever. Alpina 7 series? Look for the E38's, quite magical. Joe it's an E65 BMW 7 series from 2002-2008. E38 which was a much better 7 series and practically one of the best BIG BMW 7 series and IMO one of the best cars ever made.

i love peanut mm's. My brother (19), me and his three friends went to a 7-mile fair once and it was pretty ghetto but they said it was good deals, seems like most of the stuff was 'legit'. This hispanic guy was selling 3 packs of peanut mm big bags for $1, I bought $5 worth of bags so 21 bags and I fit about half in my pocket and they also bought some. Best deal ever. I wish I could gone back and got more but im sure his "truckload" (he was selling out of a truck) is probably sold out by now.

Ok kids.. Time for an update.. So right before NYE, I crashed the RX8 on the way to the farmers market. Went in on the turn a bit too hot and exited even hotter and smacked a guard rail and drifted sideway before crashing into ditch.. It was so sad and scary at the same time. Just very lucky and thankful no one was hurt or another cars were involved besides my dumbass... Long story short, the car is totaled but I ended up picking a 2009 GT model with only 9,000 miles on it from an owner who was more anal than I am when it comes to car care and maintenance.. Enjoy the pics..















And the NEW car...

Thanks Crabby! The GT is more luxurious with a full leather leather and butt warmers on the perforated leather seats with the driver's being powered and 3 memory settings. Also it has auto on/off xenon headlights, wipers, Blose, Sirius, and sunroof. Otherwise, the drive train is the same as the R3 with the 4.77 rear end and carbon fiber drive shaft. R3 does have Blose and xenons but with EVO X inspired Recaros, Bilstein shocks and uprated springs, 19" forged BBS wheels, different aero bumper, side skirts and a traditional style rear spoiler.

First thing I am doing is pulling the Volks, BBK, rear muffler section, and Recaros out of the old car

P.S. my 2011 RX8 R3 was only 1 of 132 sold in the US... Talk about exclusivity...

Yeah it was scary.. Cold tires and questionable road surface didn't help. Just glad to walk away with no injuries

omg i felt so sick seeing those pics. glad you're okay though benben. that looks like a crazy accident. sad about the car though. was gonna say, make sure you get your wheels back and whatever mods you put on the car before they take it. man i do love that red though. the silver looks normal to me. the red was so stand out-ish.
