Hi all, bought this off my pal who owned it for a year and jus drives them dosnt really maintain them... its a 54 plate with 105000miles, usual dash board like a christmas tree with warning lights, few age related marks, had horrible black 19inch deep dish rims when i got it, so since getting the car a month ago i have done the following...
Waterpump
full major service
idler tensioner
air flow meter
full gearbox service
front and rear pads and wear sensors
2 track rod ends and tracking
30mm lowering springs
swirl flap blanks
dpf removal pipe
egr blank
decat down pipe
new cast exhaust manifold
full turbo rebuild and rebore to a 65mm compressor wheel
stan at ecotune rolling road cutom map currently at 255bhp
xenon headlight bulbs
genuine 19inch spiders
full paint detail
since pics i have also fitted some 15mm rear spacers
so all in all i got the car at a cracking price but had to spent a nice fortune but this is a keeper and a flying machine for the 2.5, will get more pics at the weekend thanks guys

Currently looking at E60 5 series M sports, lovely cars, considered M5 aswell but running costs and gearbox/clutch issues have put me off them.
Spyder wheels suit them best aswell, looks lovely mate.
