Job well done, Zlaatan! Thanks very much. And yes, those are some big brakes.

Whoa .... I think that BMW is trying to break the 60-0 record w/ those rotors. THEY ARE HUGE! Awesome pictures!!

Good job Zlaatan and thanks to Gustav for hosting them!

WHOA!!! Great pics Zal! those things are huge. Did you get a chance to see how big those rims were? They look like 17s or 16s, if we can figure out how big the rims are we can get a guest-i-ment on those brake sizes....

Have fun.

I think those are 18 inch, just ash ones on the 1995 M5

Woooo ok no problem stopping... lets see how it accelerates now!

They look good with the tape on...
Maybe leaving the tape on should be a dealer option!

Those pics could have been worth big bucks if provided to an auto mag exclusively.

Excellent find, but I still don't like the design. Those exhaust tips look tiny!

Cheers.

Reminds me of an old joke...

Back in the hills, Pa and his boys take delivery of their new station wagon, complete with the fake wood-grain paneling on the sides. They immediately start stripping it off, and when the job is complete, they stand back to admire the result of their labors. Pa says, "Well, boys, whadda ya think?"
After a pause, one the sons replies "It's funny, but you know? I almos' liked it better when it was still in the crate."

For the record, the new 5-series just doesn't do it for me. No strong reaction one way or the other. Just... blah. I think the old 850csi is the best looking BMW in the last ten years. If they would only clean up those lines, and update the mechanicals... now that would something special!

Best,
Bert
