[Falkster]

Top job mate. That engine bay looks great, very neat and tidy.

Paint job at the same time? You've got to have deep pockets!!

It certainly looks smart! Would a local classic show appreciate it? There plenty of zone meets/shows and there's always a big BMW show each year at Gaydon.
Where are you based?

[beamer_325i]

probably not haha but am based up in shetland isle so not ideal to get down to the meets/shows down there, possiably some day the show up here is quite big (for shetland) there is alot of people that come up from south for it.

[Phatz]

She looks lovely mate. The unbeatable looks of a schwarz black tech II coupled with S50 power.... perfect.

[S38B38]

Very nice,, but please remove the cone filter and try to use an oem airbox if you can,,

on rough pedal,, the heat inside the engine bay will steal a lot of horses from you

[Finto_316]

[Andy325i]

thanks for the comments. just waiting on my new stainless manifold and exhaust system its getting made at the moment

[Cloggy Saint]

Beautiful! I'd say the front needs just a slight drop though.

its all new suspension so hoping it will settle a little bit more, but not wanting it much lower as the sump it quite low and bumpy roads up here

[staley_turbo]

What size brakes you got there mate? Im looking to buy them and put pinas over the top aswell.

[AndyE30]

Its a bit rough round the edges! Just kidding! thats amazing, almost jaw dropping infact and the best colour for me by far.

Hi, got the kit from Keri-WMS (its on the zone somewhere)

300mm discs,4 pot calipers and i had to use 20mm wheel spacers

[sheltie]

hey the car is looking great mate. some paint job that bit of orange peal tho you gonna give it a buff up? what exhaust you going for ? i think that cool looking guy in the photo standin in the boot floor would need a pay rise cos he has obviously done a great job

....the car's looking bloody nice...!

Just for general reference, this is the "fat" 300mm kit (300x26 = 4P144, flattish disc), the other big WMS kit (298.5x24 = 4P028, deeper offset disc) gives the wheel 6.5mm more spoke clearance.

Good job there

[bobbin1982]

Loving this... jealousy is a word i could use a lot on the zone
