So Today I Received My GB plates and New alloy Dust Caps lol.

I love the difference a set of new GB plates make, I think it freshens the car up. I will fit them and take some pics.

After driving the car I have noticed a few things i want to get rectified.

Gear selector is quite sloppy, Not overly but its a common problem on these, I will be ordering short shift kit from BMW tommorow.

Its from an E60 545I and i have the part numbers if anyone requires them, I also will be ordering the heavier ZHP gear knob that the Yanks raive about.

I already have my M style gear and HandBrake boot on order.

I have also noticed it to be very very juicy, Currently getting 17mpg.

I will be getting the cars Inspection 2 service done and having it looked at on the computer to see whats causing the problem.

I am being told its more than likely the MAFS. They are pricey but if it needs it then its gotta be done.

As soon as the service is complete im going to look into a REMAP and de limiting so i can test the cars 190mph capability.

Scary

Will keep people posted with how it goes.

Im going to be polybushing the front end too.

I also need to find someone that may paint/carbon my dash.

Also want to carbon wrap my front grills and possibly boot lip.

maybe the black bits aswell, what do people think. I dont really know where to go with exterior mods.
