My Ride: 545 SE Auto in Black
So jags5451 came accross this M5 in the uk which had been smashed. SO after a quick phone call byme I brought most of it lol
Stomeface, jags545 and myself went on a mission
wake up time 4.30am
get to jags house 6.15am
Pick up van 6.30am
Back to jags house to pick up stoneface 7am I couldnt help but do a few handbrake sikds in the Van whilst on the way back to jags house, Stoneface knows me to well and when he saw me coming down the road he knew I was going to handbrake the van lol!
here are a few pics stopping at services it was so cold the windscreen jets had frozon on the drivers side and I couldnt see where i was going, JAgs had the bright idea of pouring boiling water on them and we was soon on our way
mmmmm white van man!!!!!!!!
ahh man that must have hurt, but just goes to show how strong theses cars are the cabin was still intact.....
jags on the attack...
Stoneface thinkingnNow where is that M5 engine I know i left it here somewhere!
YEah man check out my uniform you like??? I felt sorry for the car but it did its job and the passengers all walked away
Jags doing the only bit of work that day (just kidding) mr CD thief!
cant forget the lip!!! cut it man cut it!!
the seats were a bitch the car had no car and now power had to follow th ebrain in th ecar and get power to them in order to shift them to access the bolts! still didnt move so we spent ages getting the bolts out by nothing stops a modder not even a M5 with no power!
Right so what did we take
Full interior
Door cards
Paddle shift (steering wheel was bent lol)
CCC
Idrive
Screen (full prof nav)
Headlining
Boot spolier
door modules
Column indicators
Wing mirrors
Advanced Climate control module
M5 door entry strips
Rear spoiler
Full brushed trim
SMG gear knob and surround
Clocks (whick I will be fixing)
Air bag modules
All switches
Black high gloss trim (I have fitted this and done a DIY guide)
lots of other things that I could throw in th evan when no one was looking
The chaps at the yard said they would give us a hand but they really didnt have a clue what was what so left it to us.
my clocks (have already fixed them) will solder the new chip in from my clocks and code my car!
this is one rare sight you are more likely to see a white tiger in Miami with a boob job then Stoneface smiling but when a man gets a new part for his car even the strongest men smile!!!!!!!!!! ja ja bless!!!!
the trim has been sold to a member on site which will be fitted on saturday so watch this space as us boys do our bit for modding the 5's for the UK roads!! we need more UK members modding lol
