Gave my 540i a much needed wash for the first time in a few months. Have barely used it since it debited my wallet $2.4K in early September. Will write about that incident at some point haha Threw on a coat of Turtle Wax Black Ceramic Wax for some extra gloss. The paint correction I did 18 months ago still looks pretty good, might give the bonnet a light buff at some point if I get bored during summer.

This was not a quick wash

Meant to give the car a machine cut today (yet to do one) but with the rain decided to refinish my steering wheel properly - I had given it a quick spruce up previously using colour lock by hand but I wanted a better finish. I used the ‘professional’ Furniture clinic products I used to refinish my E46 seats with a spray gun and air compressor including their exceptional matte clear leather sealer that gives everything a beautiful soft touch silky matte finish. Came out great - also did the door armrests and pockets too while I was at it - no shiny 80s plastic in this car!

Stunning in every respect

Starting to get my car dialed in. Ran 11.479 as best time for the day last weekend. In car dragy video.

F80 M3 in the garage so my 330d has to go. Very tidy. On TM for $24,000 but will take $22,500. TM link here

Did you fill it with gas? 😀

Across the pond, Mtech 2. Very tempting. Only if I had a closed garage here in Perth. https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1988-bmw-3-series-325is-manual/SSE-AD-13603867/?Cr=52

Looks fantastic!

Sold, cheers Julian.

Pffft. That's what supercharged V8 Mercedes are for. If its not using 30l/100 towing the racecar whilst destroying a holden going onto the motorway what's the point?

that down low torque is addictive. also, as long as fuel efficiency is at least 30% better than the petrol models, i think there is still an argument to be had for diesels

Had been looking for a replacement for the F01 750i for a while, thinking about a G01 or a X3/4 M40i then this X5M in Melbourne Red rocked up for sale. Never been a SUV guy but super impressed by the ride and handling combination this thing gives. Plus add 550hp is a pretty good recipe. Impressive spec interior, sounds great, good tech, nice to have that elevated ride with so many Ute’s etc on the road. If you can’t bet em…. With a big warranty 😁 plus matches the bosses i3 upgrade in Melbourne Red also. Let the fun begin.

Rear end refresh on the convertible, out with old (top row of parts) and in with the new (bottom row). Just waiting on a couple more parts but there’s plenty to be getting on with now. Kinda contemplating putting the new bushes into the race car and the shiny bits on the ‘vert but not decided yet..
