"Pictures don't do it justice." It's a line we'v all heard before, and these days, it's to be taken with a grain of salt. When it comes to Mateusz Karwowski, though, it's something to be heeded, for ...
It began at the race track. Yannik Maier, at just 14 years old in 2014, was lucky enough to see an oldtimer E28 turned race car during a visit to Germany's world-famous Hockenheimring, home of the Ge...
An incredible photo set, unposted from the StanceWorks Archives. Photographed in May of 2017, Keith Ross captured the StanceWorks "Parts Car" in what is undoubtedly the best photo set on record. Buil...
Perhaps one of the most spectacular aspects of the car community is its global saturation. Car enthusiasts emerge from every country, far and wide. During a vacation trip to Bali, Indonesia in the sp...
Classic cars aren't for everyone. They can be picky, finicky, and costly to keep on the road. Parts can often be hard to find, service can be difficult to source, and the experience as a whole can be...
"I'll never sell it." It's something many of us have said about one car or another, and typically, it doesn't hold true. I can't begin to count the number of StanceWorks feature cars that have been d...
I can tell already, getting rid of this one is going to hurt. I've bought and sold my fair share of cars at this point, and a good number have been personal builds or cars that I cherish. The "Parts ...

If I'm being honest, I got pretty tired of having to clean up my E28 every time I pulled it out of the shop. Like a magnet, it attracts a layer of shop dust, and was always in need of a wipedown for ...
When deciding on our newest desktop wallpaper, it came to our attention that we had yet to share one of the StanceWorks E28 "Parts Car" build. Wearing its new-for-2018 Motul colorway, we're excited t...
In no way is Dirk Deppen's approach to building cars subtle. The idea of a "sleeper" is lost on him; the importance of aesthetics and the cohesion between style and performance are paramount in his l...
Towards the end of last year, I hauled Rusty Slammington out to the Los Angeles Port. There, Keith Ross and Jared Houston exercised their talents, snapping photos and videos which later culminated in...
Since finishing the "Parts Car" in November of '16, I've been on a constant quest to improve it. Alignment changes, spring rate changes, and sway bar adjustments have all helped to hasten the car aro...
It was a few weeks ago, with the shop door wide open, that a fellow BMW enthusiast spotted the slew of E28s inside the StanceWorks HQ. Driving an absolutely gorgeous 535iS of his own, he pulled up ou...
If there's one thing BMW did extraordinarily well in the 1980s, it was perfecting the grand tourer. That is, of course, if you ask me. I may be alone in suggesting there's no better example of both e...
We're excited to look back on a few weeks ago: the 2017 SoCal Vintage BMW show, in Van Nuys, California. Our friend Alex Rodriguez attended with an incredible Super 8 film camera in hand. Upon seeing...
Exactly a year ago, we unveiled the latest StanceWorks build: a 1982 BMW E28 Group A tribute dubbed "the Parts Car." Inspired by BMW's ETCC racing efforts of the early 1980s, the E28 is an exercise i...
A look at Mike Burroughs' Rusty Slammington, the unkillable BMW E28. Filmed at the Port of LA, late 2017. Filmed & edited by Jared Houston
It was nearly two years ago that Rusty was finally unveiled: the cover was pulled back and the latest iteration of a car-turned-legend was shared with the world at SEMA, 2015. However, two years of h...
We're all on an automotive journey of our own, no surprise there. It's typically over time that we find the right car for us. What can be surprising though, is when the journey of finding the perfect...
When building the StanceWorks "Parts Car" E28 last year, brakes stood as one of the more interesting hurdles of the project. Big brake kits aren't exceedingly common for E28s - understandably - which...
It seems like we’ve talked of taking the entire StanceWorks gang out for a track day for years. From broken cars and builds that are under construction, to conflicting schedules, empty wallets, and p...
