Ran into this guy in my neighborhood and I chased him down, this thing was seriously cool. The owner is a metalworker and made TONS of little custom pieces for the car.

| That car was at 5erFest, and he's a member. There are some things I would have done differently (like paint), but it is a neat car! |

As Brent said thats Kens car, he was at 5erFest, I believe he won Best E12 of show.
He lives and has a metal working/bike shop in San Jose. Havent seen him post in too long though. |

I also liked the Enkei's...But, those E38s are looking killer with the gold centers and polished lips. |

it sounds as good as it looks. and the color grows on you.
DON"T SELL IT KEN!
oh, and the shop he co-owns is called RUSTWORKS and they are in San Carlos, CA. they can handle almost any fabrication/prototyping you could imagine and their work is top notch. they even have a flow water jet cutting machine.
http://www.rustworks.com/ check it out. |

| Yeah, I love that car. The color is cool in that funky 70's way. He posted on here a few times after 5erfest, but I'm not sure if he's come back in a while. |

Here's a pic of Ken's E12 at 5erFest bracketed by Steve Alvarez's beautiful diamontschwarz/cardinal dinan turbo (best E28) and my 535is.
Ken said the color on his E12 is mango green. Don't recall if it was an OE color. Looks like Austin's car next to Steve's.
