Definitely is deja-vu and feels like I’m in a 10 year time loop

Have to say though I’m enjoying it and for a couple of years now I’d watched the original beast deteriorate and kept thinking I need to freshen it up. So it’s forced my hand and really pleased that the new one will be immaculate again and back to former glory.

Hmmm my neighbours do think I’m nuts but secretly enjoy watching the progress too like a series of Car SOS

Hi Raj, good to see your latest project, are you going to lpg this one ?
Still got my E53, only done 400 miles in last 12 months, been in and out of hospital with this heart failure problem, but hopeful that is now sorted with the pacemaker doing its job at last.

Hi Lez, been way too long.

No plans to LPG this time so sticking with just glorious petrol from now on.

Oh wow, not great hearing that but glad it appears to have been sorted with the pacemaker and you're all good (so to speak).

No updates in over a week

Like you I’m waiting on the updates too

Unfortunately it’s been sat at the bodyshop for the last 2 weeks still waiting to be started lol. They’ve had a few people off ill etc so it’s thrown their timings off with the delays.

People being ill is very inconsiderate, there are priorities when a BMW is involved

Completely agreed

Will pop down lunchtime today and see.

Sooooo finally some progress. Bodyshop have finally started on the prep work.





Those lovely Alpina’s have been refurbed too:

Gets worse before it gets better.

Whoop whoop we finally have paint.

And if does look so good.







Rest of the front end should be done Monday/Tuesday.

Looking good

So nearly there with the paintwork. Just a flat and polish left and can collect it and put it all back together.

Ooh Shiney

Stay away from Tesco car parks !!

Wrap it in cotton wool and just look at it, too good to use.

BTW, is this the car that was advertised here F S?
