Come on over to Boston and help me do the same to my E60...I'll supply beer & pizza, and a place to snooze. Considering the exchange rate, you can buy some good stuff cheap here, and make a pile of dough when you get back home!
very nice work!

,Keith , it looks great , I really love Titanium Silver on E60s !!!Excellent detail in thepost .

I must admit I love my car but don't have that much patience...12 hrs would be cruel and unusual punishment for me. 90 min max and I'm done.
