Thanks for the kind words everybody, it has been a very fun project so far!

Also, thank you to everyone for all your opinions, thoughts, and compliments. It is always nice to hear what people think, whether it be positive or negative. Although this has been a quick (One week haha) project it has felt like much longer making sure everything with the car was done with perfection. And hearing all the nice things about the car makes what I'm doing to it worth even more!

I finally got to drive the car home from work today and hearing that AP exhaust was amazing. I had my local muffler shop fix the fitment and it is now close to perfect. As far as the exhaust goes, it sounds amazing under about 4000 RPMS, but I need to get the Rasp Terminator ASAP to get a more exact sound that I'm going for (Jack@CustomPerformance...hopefully those puppies get off back order soon!!) The paintwork and wheels turned out EXACLTY how I wanted. I wanted to create a Panoramic-like look on the roof and my painter took his time to create a Mirror-Like finish on the roof (you HAVE to see it the car in person to know exactly what I'm talking about!)


I'll do some more writing later on however (I know you all want to see the pictures); so without going on I'll get to the pictures of the car with the roof painted, mirrors installed, AND Iforged Senekas mounted!!!

ENJOY...





















So I still need to add the decklid spoiler (while I search for an OEM CSL bootlid), a SSK kit, M3 fender grille emblems, and a hardwired V1, but this should do it for now while I round up the rest of the parts!!!

nice work man... pretty impressive one week transformation, must have been well planned out. Looks awesome, love the roof. white time-attack ring on the wheels could look amazing if the rivets were black as well

BBK would set it off...

Looks great, but honestly not quite as good as I anticipated. Keep us updated.

The tint is actually much darker than the pictures display, I thought the same thing when I looked at the 4th and 5th pictures.

Looks good, but would look much better with the pinstripe on the wheels.

It's funny you say that because I actually have the Time Attack rings sitting under my desk right now. I'm going to enjoy the wheels the way they are right now for a few weeks then put on the rings (if I can hold out that long)

A couple more pics I took last night (my photography sucks I know...)

Alex,

How's it going man? I heard you have your own shop now, that's great. Yeah I sold the M5 last year for a Range Rover Sport (stupid decision). But now I'm back with the ///M's so that makes me happy! Hope all is going well for you and thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the compliments guys and yes I will be putting the White TA rings on in a couple weeks (they are sitting under my desk waiting to be installed!!)

In the meantime here are a few pictures I took today out in front of my house..
