been a volvo guy, and love their engines and their awesome power, but nothing comes close to the BMW engines. I know N52 is not very popular among tuners but on freeway this car hauls!!!

sharing some pic of my car with u guys

planning on doing the mtech upgrade asap, along with 19 m6 wheels.

enjoy

took 2 hours to wash and wax and stuff, still only 70% cleaned.

Congrats! I LOVE that interior... I miss it. That interior is a keeper. the current interior colors are so boring.

BTW The S85 engine hauls even more on the freeway.

Beautiful interior you've got there, with the brown leather and sport seats!

One suggestion: try and get hold of an M steering wheel before anything else, the difference in driving experience is huge!

Good luck with this beauty!

I know what you mean about the N52 considering thats the powerplant I have in my car. Nonetheless, the car really does haul when you need it to

Nice car man. Enjoy it!
