I'm Back! (Kinda!)

Mon Nov 07, 2011 7:22 pm

Myself and Nickso had a mini Zone meet today at my place.
I thought I would take a couple of photos of my 525ix.
I have only had it a couple of weeks and have already had to do an engine change

It all seems ok now though and is running sweet apart from a few electrical niggles that I will sort out as soon as I can.
Plans are, M5 kit, lowered, facelift nose, and a light tint on the rear windows. I have already put a set of style 32 17"s on which I think look great on it.
The final aim is something like this..

Anyway, heres a couple of pics of it and Nickso's chariot..

looks a nice chariot! enjoy, ad get an m30 in there pronto

Alright Neil!
The M50 is much nicer than that rattly old M30 I had in the 335.
Its smooooothhh!

Tis a tidy winter weapon an no mistake. No idea who owns that calypso turd in front of it though.

Seriously, I drove this down to the Mo and back and shoogly front discs apart it's a really good buy. Shame you had to swap the donk but at least you know it's 99% sound now.

Mind and post your vid of you drifting through 2 foot snow drifts.

Thats great Jake, does it have a facelift nose?
I'm after a Light Control Module and a mainbeam light.
There is probably more I need but i've not found out yet!

That was the only thing popped into my head.

Jake, I will have a think about anything else I need and might pop through some night this week if thats ok.

Cheers.

ETA, Got the funky sunroof fixed Nick, it just needed resetting after disconnecting the battery when I changed the lump.
You just press the button for ten seconds and it resets the motors.
Working fine now.

the bosiet wasnt an entirely pleasant experience but I managed it

It was at Falck and I was in the first group as I had a medical to attend so the second group got to watch us go first, you should have seen their faces.....chalk white and utterly $hitting themselves

I heard they didn't do so much of the copter washing machine action anymore? I did my BOSIET and OLF 4 years back and thought it was good fun.
