Member Highlight

Tired of M5s? Here's a classic for you then. Brent Rabideau, a Green Mountain Chapter member from Wilmington, Vermont, recently added this to his stable. You might remember his other BMW, a highly modified blue E34 525i, which was a website banner car for a month or so. Well this 1971 2002 is a fine specimen, indeed. If you think the green racing stripes are slick, wait until you read the mod list. I'd need an entire website to list all of them, but I'll try to do them justice. Click on the pictures to enlarge.
