i like that you already have the rear airbags, the factory TV and the front clear corners... those are 3 possible retrofits off the table... :) too bad the steering wheel is on the other side... lol...

at the distillery i had tried several malts, by the time i was done sampling, i was already a happy camper!! i liked the way the distilling process was done, never saw it before... and while in Edinburgh, i was told, there is whole city underground, buried in the middle ages for whatever reason... i was too happy to remember much!!! :)

Beautiful specimen and welcome. I always drool when I see a kept up 4.8is!

Count me in the group who wants factory runners. ;)

That hydrographic printing looks like a nice long-term solution to the common 'peeling steering wheel' trim faced on this side of the pond. Anyone have links/suggestions for getting it done on the west side of the big pond? I don't care for the carbon fiber look, especially with wood trim, but flat black would be loverly.

^I can wrap it in 3M glossy or brush black for you.

For me personally it's probably better for me to go with a professional paint shop, as I'm not looking for Carbon fiber but actual BMW color change with a 2K urethane clearcoat.

Powder Coating Powder - Hotcoat Powders From Eastwood

Sorry to hijack this thread ..since we are talking about painting...Any of you tried this?as advertised it works only on metal I suppose?
Would be pretty cheap option to powder-coat your own wheels if you had a big enough oven to bake them in lol..

Black is nice, but i love that sterling gray. Wish we had that option in the US.
