this is still dirty, going to make it a go in the future weeks, kinda busy with family things.

Yes working on the garage environment.

and the 530, rain every other day sucks, cant even clean it for a reason. live 1 mile in on mud road, then another couple hundred feet of private mud.

Stop boasting.

We have had about 3" of rain over the past 6 months. Things are getting desperate.

Slam it!!... then bling it!! :D :D :D

Oh yeah, BTW have you heard that gas is going to be $25.00 a gallon by Christmas?

Just thought you might like to know now that you have 12 hungry cylinders to feed! :p

Jeff, you have to tell me if it is true: I've heard that no 850 owner has to wash their car, that there is always a constant stream of willing babes keen to come and lather it up for you on sunny days.

I also thought looking at your mudtrack, that perhaps when the babes eventually come to wash it for you that you could get them to play in the mud afterwards.

.... your camera is now working isn't it??? :) nick

Well done Jeff,

Is the fam as happy you are? Are they allowed to touch it? Which kid will take it for its first covert spin ;)

I know how you feel about the rain and gravel roads......washing is a waste of time,

every time I wash the car it rains, when I wait they forcast rain that doesnt happen. Wash it when its clear and no rain they chloride the road... dont see the 8 as a daily driver for sure. Should give me plenty of time to bring it up to specs though. Still undetermined on a name for it. Sal started poking around with butons and stuff (thats how I learn things lol) and Mil was bickering with him about who rides where til I told both of em to shut up and NO one will ride in it. Things calmed down after that lol

interior drivers seat needs cleaning, same with the engine and bay. Will get to that eventually, I hate it when you have a clean looking car with a dirty engine.

I think with the early 8ers you're just supposed to delete the self leveling suspension system. I remember they had a whole article about 8ers about 6 months ago in Bimmer magazine.

How much fuel does this car consume? 12 cylinders must be very hungry.

15mpg means about 16 litres per 100km. Well, not that bad for a 5 litre engine.

The quick and dirty way is to cut off the tire valves. It'll lower itself.....
