Mechanic Girls: October 2011

While there's only a single digit gap between the E30 and E31 codenames, in reality, these two BMW models couldn't be more different from each other. The E30, a.k.a. the 1983-1991 3-Series, represented the firm's entry-level family car in the 1980s, while the E31, more widely known as the 8-Series, was the brand's flagship GT coupe in the 1990s.
But one German owner had the bright idea of taking a 1989 325i Convertible (albeit with pre-1987 tail lamps) and fusing the front end of an 850i Coupe on its nose. Of course, there was a slight problem with the width of the 8-Series fascia that was solved by…removing one of the BMW kidney grilles.
Aside from the bespoke front end, it also gets puffed up wheel arches to fit the wider tires, a different rear bumper and a Momo steering wheel.
The modded 325i Convertible comes equipped with the standard 2.5-liter inline-six producing 170-horses and is said to have clocked just 99,750km (62k miles).
Even if do you find the...825i's looks alluring, the €6,990 (US$9,900) price tag on Autohaus Bryjak is less than tempting as it is a bit too close for comfort to the lower-end prices (~€10k) for a real, early 1990s 8-Series model in Germany.

A patrol car dashboard camera video showing a woman being arrested in Sioux City has sparked allegations for police mistreatment. Dacota Daniels, 34, was detained on August 8 at Sioux City by two officers, one in uniform and one in plain clothes after they stopped the rental car she was in as a passenger.
The plainclothes drug task force officer said in the report that he spotted Daniels’ fiancé, Christopher Robinson, driving the car despite being "known to have a barred license."
Daniels, a passenger in Robinson’s car, was taken out of the car and questioned. The confrontation escalated when the woman took out her cell phone and refused to put it down, with the footage showing the police officers using force to get her in handcuffs.
She later claimed that the officers mistreated her giving her a black eye and bruises, and is now considering suing the police department.
In response to the allegations, Sioux City Police Chief Doug Young said that the department's investigation concluded that the officer's actions during the arrest were justified: “The altercation was escalating; the officer got slapped”, he said. “She tried to resist throughout the whole incident.”
You can watch the video right after the jump and see for yourself which of the two sides’ argument is valid [the description on the second half of the clip is from the Sioux City police department].
