No engine pics im afraid. I'll get some later but that wasnt part of the detail.

As for the plate, yeah it might be a little busy but my missus bought them for me. More than my lifes worth to change them.

Looks absolutely pristine!!! I would however suggest a slight suspension drop to finish the job off!
Not venturing down that route im afraid. Too many sensors to reprogramme for a start. And then theres the warranty....... lol

Its still a little orangey to look at but without doing a full sand down and flatten you cant get away from it. The surface finish is excellent now though and Luke did a great job. His attention to detail is superb.

I wouldn't touch the suspension on an M car, how often do they get it wrong?

^^ Exactly.

The E61 has a self leveling rear beam too so no way am i messing with that. Too many things to go wrong and its not like BMW are bad at make a car handle.

Good thing they are grey then eh! lol


Actually the wheels always get odd looks from people looking at photos. But, in the flesh they do look 1000 times better. They are not everyones cup of tea but the tea often becomes more pleasant when seen in person. Each to thier own.

The rear suspension is fine, it's the front I'd drop by 25mm!
I can see why you say that, but im really not going to do it. Too many things to trip me up.

Its 9am at Brooklands but you need to be on the list of 600 to get in. You could always try putting your name down and see what happens.

I'll pm you lukes number and site.
