Took about 5mm of carbon off these pistons with a nylon brush!
Mmm, clean. TDC and ready to drop in. Stock exhaust was sandblasted and painted with ceramic paint, this stuff stinks when you put it in the oven so be warned, wait until the wife goes out! New studs and copper lock nuts.
JVC stereo doesn't dim enough for my taste but it makes OK sound. Mtech 1 steering wheel. Dash is perfect under the mat but it came with the car so I keep it there on the theory no sun, no cracks.
Bead blasted alloy intake manifold, no paint.
Exhaust side... clean alloy picks up fingerprints very easily.
I don't think this is a stock toolkit (5 series? 7?) but it's handy.
And that's it! Car is very stock so I am reluctant to mess with it, but if the auto dies will go for a manual conversion rather than replace it. Other than that only minor plans for things like smiley headlights, maybe the BMW or BBS 15" wheels if I found some at the right price. I don't mind functional replacements - like silicon hoses - but I wouldn't lower it just for looks.
