What have you been doing today?

[rstoughy]

Well this is what I've been up to.
Rebuilt my spare / track bumper.

As it was upon purchase.





Then after some tlc, new grills from BMW and a fresh set of flippers returned from Mark it's ready to go.

Car parked in Holmer Green in residential area.

Cabbed it to Beaconsfield for night.

Not a good area, you should have given me a bell, could have parked at mine over night. :thumbs:

Today, towed a Rig for 6 hours, had a BBQ and watched Andy Murray then slept a while... woke up and towed a rig for another 6 hours, then yip, slept again.

Next week will be very different, off here on Saturday, whooop! The beer will have alcohol in it, thats for sure.

Yeah but didn't stay too long Chris. It was pretty much the same stuff there as last year

Irish Festival of Speed next month is the one I'm looking forward to

Hiya Brian, yep bought it earlier in the year with a buddy of mine, so we're splitting the costs between us. It was into the garage a while back for fresh oil, plugs, etc, but got a fairly clean bill of health overall

Saying that, it'll only be out on the roads in the summer months and not doing too much in the way of mileage. Yesterday was pretty much the first day I've taken it out for a run

Eisenmann is still on it too :smokin:

[Hankcharlie]

It's a lovely machine alright and best of luck with it. Mark Keneally had it for a bit I think also and his friend had it badged as a 520 for a while. Bit of a sleeper:-D. I love the noise it makes and it has some of the nicest seats of any BMW I've ever been in. Enjoy!!

Thanks! No badge on the back now, but will probably put the "M5" one back on. Sure it's only got two exhaust pipes, most people will think it's a fake anyway :hahaha:

Nice M5 Barge there mate :thumbs: an early 3.8 5 Speed by any chance ?
How's about a 518i badge just to really stick it up theirs
BTW, I may have potentially bought something very similar over the weekend too :whistle:

Cheers Matt, yep 5-speed with Nurburgring pack. She still goes like the clappers when you give it a poke too, as Mr "520d up my arse" found out once the road ahead cleared! :smt039


Any, spill the beans mate, this sounds interesting...

:supz: Imagine how little Mr "520d up my arse" would have felt if you had that 518i badge on :clown:

It's an earlier "Special Order" (what ever that means) fully loaded Dimond Black 3.6 with quite interesting history + a complete crank up engine rebuild 30K miles ago with BMW Main Steeler supplied New block, pistons, duplex chain, rings, HG, New valves (all 24 of them), etc.
I'll tell you more when it arrives tomorrow :smokin:

Awesome :thumbs: Best of luck with it Matt, and don't forget a few pics!

Be interested to know what the "special order" entails
