Welcome aboard and congrats on the purchase. Looks clean and do love Estoril.

Mods wise, there's so much you can do tbh. I've done quite a bit to my 4.8 including coilovers, paintwork, exhaust, etc.

I do love Estoril but prefer Le Mans. CB is stunning but an absolute pain to keep looking good. I remember the amount if times I detailed my old 530d to keep it looking spot on.
