New to the BMW Scene
I wanted to introduce myself; I am new to the BMW scene, but not new to cars and modifying by any stretch. I am the owner of an after-hours appointment-only performance shop in Raleigh, NC called Urban Legends Motorsport (I am a mechanical engineer by day, but plan to make the shop full time when I can afford to). I have build many custom cars before, but being a Bimmer forum, I want to show you guy my latest project, a 1983 BMW 733i 5-Speed.
Previous owner installed: -New Starter -New Alternator -H&R Sport Springs -E28 Bilstein Sport Dampers, Custom-Valved -BBS Front Valance Since I have owned it: -New vacuum hoses where needed -All new fuel lines from the gas tank -New Distributor seal, cap, rotor, ignition wires and spark plugs (OEM Bosch) -Fixed all interior rattles, burned out bulbs, and broken pieces (except the cracked dash of course) -New OEM oval shift knob -New Clarion 4"x6" speakers all around, new wiring run along OEM paths, new shorty antenna run from JVC Radio -New rear left outer window trim -New front driver door inner trim -2 new door handles -Fixed Cruise control and OBC (needed new CC computer and the OBC fuse was burned out) -Wanted more sound out of the car, ran dual 2" pipes into a dual in/out Magnaflow muffler with dual 3.5" Magnaflow tips (I have the rear muffler still if someone wants it) -17"x8" Borbet Type E wheels with Cooper 225/45/17 tires -New Coolant Temp Sensor to fix the hesitation issue once and for all -New IACV Hoses -New fuel injector O-rings (preventative maintenance) -New OEM Emblems w/ bavauto dark gray vinyls Future: -New hood -BBS Rear Heckspoiler to finish the BBS look -Shadowline the chrome trim -Tints -A few other custom ideas I don't want to give up yet Teaser shots for you: ![]() ![]() And a cool concept shot taken by my buddy before we left Pittsburgh: _a_

Welcome! I think I know of your work; I used to post on NCDubs when I both owned a VW and lived in NC. IIRC, you did some work for some of those guys.
