I have driven mildly modified BMWs for 25 years, and have been considering a modified 2002 variant as an upcoming early retirement gift to myself. It really jumped out at me when it came up in my saved search, and I was excited because it was only 10 minutes from me. Since I had never actually driven or ridden in any modified 02s, I thought this would be a good chance to see what one could be like. I found the seller to be very straight forward about the car and his build. There were two Porsches in the driveway that had been set up for fast road racing events in Mexico, and he told me the UPS livery was a demonstration of his company's products, which was how he funded his car hobby. He did not hesitate to rev the car hard (where most of the power came on), and throw it around corners. It was a fun ride, but way too extreme for me. I knew I wasn't a buyer, so I didn't ask to drive. An earlier post mentioned Mulholland Drive, but the seller said he concentrated on Angeles Crest, which was where he said he spent many weekends burning the racing fuel you can actually buy right near his house. It definitely seemed well constructed and suited for the task. Angeles Crest is known for sport bikes, but there are a lot of fast drivers with four wheels there many weekends and I can definitely picture it there. This car was also on the ROTA stand at SEMA in 2016, which is probably why it caught my eye so quickly. I had copied a photo of it when I was surfing modified 02 porn on google images (https://goo.gl/images/wHZaqC), and when I saw this I looked back at my wish list folder and compared them closely. He confirmed it when I met him. I thought it looked way better with the Rotas, as the wheel/tire size combination was much more suited to my tastes than the current setup, but I also think the way it's done now is pretty cool. The inside of the car kinda felt like a Jeep with the lack of amenities, sound deadening, and exposed cage.
