Well I didn't do anything but just stare at it today while she was in the shop for:

spark plugs
oil change (10w-60)
synthetic fluids for both trans and diff

Driving the e28 is a world apart from the M5 and don't get me started on the Mustang

I removed an old Nokia (very, very old) mounting from the passenger side. Car seems to be bigger inside

Also checked the condition of the 4 air filters which seems OK, and the oil level is still topped up to the mark after 4,000 kms after service.

I drove the thing. Finally got my ride height dialed in and had a proper alignment done. Twisties don't stand a chance, anymore.

Still searching for one!

If that m5 i am looking at, then first thing i would do is to rid of front plate and find out how much it cost to cover up the holes and ask timmay for timmay tips. Once i got that tips, ill go in and do all work my self creating straight pipes! I can't wait for that day!

Took her out to clear some cobwebs with a friend who hasn't sampled the torgue monster yet, after the 3rd roundabout taken sideways there was a funny smell in the car...
