So i took the d-turbo up to my dads garage to check the bmw. Realised it had been 2 months since it had been started and washed, it really was bogging. So i went to start it, nothing, the alarm drained the battery and the battery has failed, its absolutley fucked!! so i jump started it, went first time, so i jumped in it to take it to its new garage! When i got to the bottom of the lane, guess what happened!? I conked out, so i had to take a long walk back up the lane, to get the other motor to jump start it! I gave it a good wash and a bit of a polish! It was only a quick polish and wash, nothing like d6dph's guide, i am definatley going to give that a go when the good weather comes in though! Anyway's i took a few quick pictures with my mobile and then got home to watch the hatton fight! Here they are!

Heres the white lady after i gave it a good wash!

After i gave it a bit of a polish! roof still soaking!

Your car is absolutely stunning mate 8)

The only thing I'd change is to get a 5 lug swap and throw on some BBS LM with gunmetal centers winkeye

I would never have a white car again......Just because i think theyre to hard to keep clean. That looks the nuts though dimebag and probably one of the best sports on the zone, Looks mint.

You can see the dirt better then on dark cars but in my appinion it's much easier to clean than dark cars.

I love most BMW's in white 8)
(but they tend to need tastefull mods to pull it of )

It isn't my garage, its my dads, plus theres a sprial staircase going in there to get upstairs! so there wont be as much room. Once that staircase is in, its going to be tight getting the motor in and out :cry:

if your dad needs somewhere to store his car he should give Alex Elliott a call, he keeps my M3, my dads old DTM and shit loads of others, still has storage for 50+ cars i think
