Hi guys;
no issues with the car, still running strong as you can see on the pictures, i had to slow down when i took the picture but it can get to 160 for sure or even passed that!
I still need to do some upgrades but at this point i'm debating if i should or just wait for the M5 to drop a little more to my budget.
I read this website everyday, keep it up guys!

Dude, you may want to remove evidence of you traveling at those speeds in case an officer finds you and charges you.
There have been many cases of people bragging about how fast they were going on the hi-ways and they include a video, only days later they get nabbed hehe.

However that is awesome you were able to your car clean and obviously running nicely

Agree 1000%... for your sake, edit your thread and remove the incriminating photo...

A single frame of a speedometer proves nothing.

Most times that people have gotten in trouble for their "speeding" video's have not been from the speeding but 'wire tapping' laws when they got pulled over. Anthony Graber is a perfect example of this. He was cited for speeding (not even close to the _real_ speed he was going) but got in trouble after posting the encounter online.

perhaps you could share some of your secrets of longevity....type of oil, change intervals etc.

did you buy it new, if used how many miles when you got it?

thanks
