Now who's that damn rookie using the brake in the middle of the curve

Those are great pic's Pete, big up to you and the Mrs for hooking us up! My co-driver unfortunately had some problems documenting the forest drive

I'm sure that's the curve where a cute little animal ran across the road and Mrs Hilden forced you to brake for it

I'm in the process of getting quotes to have my car lowered and the main reason is to achieve this "slanted" look you have on yours -- see pic below. I had that on my E46 M-sport and loved it, and also think it looks great on your car. Unforetunately its not very noticable on the standard E61 m-sport suspension that I have. How much lower is yours at the front, i.e. how many MM lowered at the front and how many MM lowered at the back?
Oh, and do you have an issue with the front spoiler being to low around the city, including curbs?

LOL then you gotta be pretty tired by now. I think you better get that M5 instead, or send your comfy seats to me and we'll work something out on that steering wheel

Or if you're desperate, visit this guy for a grossly overpriced one

Clickety click 4 steering wheel

Great pics! I wish I could get into a meet sometime, but they're always so far away...

It was all a little late in the year to do something big, but X3MKing suggested we organise something next year around one of the other big "car events" in Sweden. It could be with the BMW Owners Club or that other event with 20000+ people. We could simply arrange to have our own 5series.net area there, and organise a cruise / evening event around it. That would hopefully make it worth the journey and we'd make it a weekend event. I personally think its a great idea and means that if we don't get large numbers together here, its still worth the journey because of all the other attendees / activities at the event.

Anyway, plenty of time to think about that between now and next summer... and who know's what kind of new modding ideas we will have had by then and want to show off
