The pics don't do it justice, it's looks way better for real then what I took on the Canon EOS 40D.

I'll post up some YouTube clips shortly (I will let the board know when) of it at idle and a small rev....In love with the sound.

It's not ready to drive yet, as we've got finishing things to do.
Suspension isn't ready, no power steering, and other things, so a month away.

I'll post many more but I got a "security token error" pop up from the board when uploading another bunch of 5 ....

Just a short clip of a walk around of the ute's finished look + a short light rev of the new sound.
Very happy with the way she sounds

YouTube - M5 Ute starts up Oct 2008

Nice sound - a little on the loud side (for me).
Bad cough - need som medicine??

BTW this is one of the most fantastic feats re our beloved Beast and should definitely be made a Sticky!

Very impressive, the bodywork is factory quality, if not better! Out of curiosity, what does it weigh now? Has the front to rear weight distribution changed much?
