Mickey's "RicFlare" BMW Wagon
I first saw Mickey's BMW Wagon, nicknamed RicFlare, at the old Tacos & Tuners car meet in Encinitas back in 2013. Pretty much right after it debuted at SEMA 2013. I kept seeing the car at almost every car event I attended, and eventually I took the chance and asked Mickey if he would be down for a photo shoot and to my surprise he said yes. It was my first photo shoot with a fairly famous car. Over the years after its SEMA debut, RicFlare went through a few changes, but the biggest one was probably the 335i N54 engine and manual transmission swap. We did a mini shoot while he was in the middle of the process at LTMW. The wiring job alone looked like a huge headache as you can see in the photo below. Huge props to Mickey for everything he's accomplished with RicFlare, as well as all his other cars and in his career. It was awesome to meet him and get to know him a little over the years. I also have some photos of Mickey himself in my "Other Stuff" section. Check it out if you want to see the beard behind the build.
