Fred Courtot's M5 in Eurotuner Mag. Great writeup
Fred,
Congratulations. You indeed have one of the nicest/coolest M5 around.
Kudos.

Cool, never knew it was online. I guess I should contact them to do another shoot so we can do a before and after. Now with newer rims, SuperSprint Exhaust and those Expensive $3 Home Depot Sink Drains
Thanks CP for pointing this out ! =

Fred,
I know I sound like a broken record but your car is simply fabulous! Every mod is tastefully done and well thought out. Must say that I prefer your new rims over the old - which weren't too shabby either.
You're already famous to us on this forum and now it's worldwide!
CP - thanks for sharing. Great article! Read every word and the sidebar.
