Not to mention wrapping a fair bit of lead tape round various parts of Candice before Tel came to collect ......

If only he hadn't been in such a hurry , we could have switched engines !

I dont suppose putting the 5.0 litre v10 in it might be an idea to make it go a bit quicker.

outright speed isn't the issue. its nice to have a bit more grunt, but cornering is where all the time is gained or lost.....

Bring it on guys!!

It won't be long before Project Calypso and Sienna are racing together, at very fast speeds for 518i's!!

As for grip in the corners, those Cup tyres we were talking about might just be the way to go...

The rate we are currently going at we'll have enough
M5's converted by the end of the year to start our own
"pro car" series

Good luck fellas.
The doctor that previously owned that car must have just sipped all
his medication !!
