So, the spring is coming over here too, even that we still have lots of snow and some cold nights.

During the last weeks and months, I've ordered and collected some stuff for my beloved E60, and now it's time to start using/installing them!
I know I know, it's not anything cataclysmic or absolutely new on this forum, it's just me being buck wild about all the things .

I love the forum and it's friendly and always helpful members and want to share everything that I experience with my E60, and that's why I'll make new threads about my near future hassling with the car. I will post them on the correct sections, but will also inform about them here and give the links for everyone who's interested.

All this might sound bit sonorous, but please believe me, it's just the love towards the forums and all its members . I'm standing here steadily two feet on the ground .

I'm speaking about this kind of things:
- Polishing the paint + waxing (lots of new products I can't wait to try!)
- ACS style roof spoiler
- Hamann style splitter (carbon fiber)
- Painting the calibers
- Changing the summer setup back on (19" Matte Black Rondell 0049's)
- Rebadging with matte black "530D" emblems
- New cellphone holder for my Nokia 6110 Navigator !
- Tinting the rear window

Sorry folks splitter and calipers have to wait until the snow has gone from the streets. But something else is coming very soon...

Ok!

Like I said, the first part of my renovation has been done, and it was a full detail for the car!

If you've got serious back problems I know a great surgeon in Manhattan to hook you up with.

Haha! Thanks, I hope it's not THAT bad. I just had another day in the series of "the most unergonomic working positions in the world"!
