My ‘85 524td on E34 M5 Turbines!

I wasn’t even looking but had a friend send me a Reddit Facebook link of this beautiful blue water E39 for sale. Turns out it was super local and had a lot of really cool goodies on it. Some of which I somehow STILL had never known existed despite being an E39 enthusiast for the last 6-7 years. It’s been sitting for a few years and has a couple quirks to work out. For example, the e38 sport contours have seat twist. While fixing the driver side, the vertical control for the seat stopped working. When the car gets hot, the oil pressure light starts freaking out. Still haven’t done diag on that. Regardless, very excited for the weather to cool so I can spend more time working on it!

Sorry photos aren’t the best. I never have people take photos of me. I usually have to do it myself. I’m 6’2, 23, decently in shape. I know I need braces which is why I usually don’t smile with teeth. What else can I improve on?

I am 23 and I have a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering from Texas Tech University. I have had a lifelong passion of cars. I chose my degree because I wanted to get into automotive design as a career but school hardly scraped the surface with CAD. We didn’t even use solidworks which is laughable. Is there a course I can take that will show me how to make complex parts like this over time? Would be even cooler if it taught me how to scan and build from there. We learned a little bit of Inventor and that was it… I almost feel like I wasted a lot of my time going there. Side note: shoutout Alex for such an awesome M coupe build. This guy is a huge inspiration to me.
