SO step forward my e65 750 sport. The spec is as follows (well what I can remember lol)

Electric seats front and rear
Heated seats front and rear
Soft close doors
Soft close boot lid
Dynamic drive
hifi logic 7 (soon to be replaced)
TV
Proff Nav
Electric blinds sides and rears
and some other stuff lol!

Firstly I dropped it on eibach springs but that only dropped it 10mm so they came off! I replaced theses with the KWv3 which are brill!

Next up was the exhaust. I wanted a quad based system so i gave the car to magnaflow they had it for a week and I have a fully functional quad system with 2 pipes running down the car, the pipe which feeds the right hand side extends behind the bumper and then feeds the other side. I did not want them to amend the underneath of the car in anyway. They had the car for a week and did a brill job. I have a x pipe box upfront 2 pipes come out of this into 2 cylinder boxes. Theses boxes then feed the quad one for either side. I'll get a sound clip up I didn?t want anything to loud and this sounds brill with the V8 very impressed. The guys web address is

looks very nice.
maybe lose the bra though? (just my opinion)

are the focal speakers direct replacements or does it require work?
