Will look great with the M sport kit fitted. Makes a massive difference.

I wouldn't waste the money and time fitting JOM's to a big 5 series. Will ruin the ride and you will start to hate it.

Judging by amount of smoke there was in my rear view mirror - Turbo is fucked...

New Turbo



Old vs New



Decided to fit coilovers today seeing as weather was nice

Old VS new


Front fitted


Got dark while fitting coilvers


Rear is spot on I think, Front will have to go lower, most likely after MOT.

So first thing on my to do list was oil separator filter.

I have replaced it last summer, but after turbo failure decided to do it again.


Start like this:



4 minutes later:


3 minutes later


Paid for M5 mirrors.


And how car stands now on coilovers



So now awaiting paint: M5 front/rear bumper, BBS Style 42 18" wheels and M5 mirrors.

Once that is done, I need to get laser alignment done and light tint on windows.

I do like it. Just a shame it's not slightly darker to be a closer match.

I think the Msport bumpers will help pull off the look. As it is with those, its a bit grandad spec.

Not much happened to the car within last couple of months.

Put brighter LED's for angel eyes and just used this.

Bumpers are finally getting sprayed along side with M5 Replica mirrors.

I had to take bumpers to a different place as in the end I got pissed of with waiting for them to be painted(since March).

I know quality of finish will not be as good and neither will be prep but end of the day, the car is 12 years old and paint on bumpers will be better still than the rest of the car.

Next week update should be good
