Dave's 160,000 mile M5
Hey folks just thought I would share a few pics of my car. It's nothing particularly special but I like it.

Fitted with coilovers and some 16mm front wheel spacers to sort the stance out a bit.





















Raised it up a touch and conditioned the leather

Tiny boring little update.

Temporarily touched in a chunk of paint missing from the wing and carbon wrapped the ashtray lid as it has be painted in the past and looked awful. Not really sure the wrap is any better to be honest though!
