graaah what has been seen can not be unseen. M5 sure are great cars but in all honesty, that is where i draw the line lol.

Just got mail from italy that my x-pipe is in mail and also some other mod's are on their way

About the trunk, were snowboarding yesterday with my son and have to admit i was a little umph'd when i had to put all the snowy gear to the trunk when we left the resort haha. Well transporting beer has never been this luxury before. The case just slides in with joy on to the alcantara.

I love the Oxford Green. We dont have enough Oxford guys on here. I think we had one member who repainted his oxford green in fact. Thats a truly beautiful car in truly beautiful condition - treat her well

edit: And Alcantara visors?!
Now that I think about it, the reason we get the leather visors must be so they can put those stupid stickers on it
You guys love Oxford Green,why?I have been contemplating painting mine coz my buddies drive Silverstone and Carbon Black and my Oxford never gets as much attention as them.

...well if you're bvttugly it won't make a difference what color your car is


just kidding, i say DON'T DO IT - unfortunately oxford green is kinda plain in everyday weather with some dirt on the car and you have to keep it waxed like reekoon to get its full effect. the color is going to age beautifully so i would just wax it - seal it with a clear bra and preserve it

Just did that 545/550 short shifter today and the throws are much more nicer now. Also no need to go under the car. Took me about 30-40 minutes to do all from the drivers seat (going to gym on a regular basis came in handy when pulling the knob out) all most made me a black eye 'cos went in side the car, looked at the knob, said "yo fucker, you are comming of..." on "decent" yank and i almost found my self from the back seat haha.

Supersprint x-pipe is on the mail towards home so soon that and also back boxes after that i guess it is the power mapping but now since i always work from home on fridays ill go out to get silver visions for the front and side signals and change the oil and filters.

I wan this f'in snow to be gone so i can but my bbs on.

Good weekend to you all here @ m5board!

Weren't we talking about the dangers of hitting yourself with the shift knob?


Hope to get the vids of the back boxes today,mate!

Have a good weekend!

"wrap" is a better name than "bra" sorry about that

it's a big see-through sticker that can either be used to cover the front of the car and protect it from road rash like those leather bras you see on older cars or you can wrap the entire car in it






they also make SATIN WRAPS which will turn a regular colors into a SATIN/MATTE color

Let's talk about a flat black E39 M5.....



or you can use it to change the entire color of the car if you still want to

IMO Oxford Green leaves Carbon Black and Silverstone for dead.
