Hi All,
I have always wanted a Sedan that had a Turbo Motor. For a few years I thought about buying the gs400 and installing a supercharger, however, things changed and I lost interest. During that period, I bought a Noble m400 and that's a really fun car that I enjoyed building and driving.
I spent about a month hunting down an 08 535i w/SAT and Paddle Shifters, I finally made the purchase yesterday.
Gray with Dakota Black Interior, Nav etc..etc..etc...
I really look forward to few mods. and will more than likely fabricate the exhaust system myself, upgraded intercooler, intake etc.
I'd like to change the interior trim to aluminum or carbon fiber, does anyone have a link for those type of parts?
Thanks,
E60TH

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.
I haven't taken pics. of the exterior of the Noble in a really long time.
Here's some of the custom parts that I've made recently and took pics. of.
Turbowaste gates and exhaust.
Here's the custom intake manifold.
The 535i is being shipped to me, I'll snap some pics. once it arrives. I'll try to get some newer pics. of the Noble.
OK....I think I'm going to order suspension and rims first. I'd also like to switch the interior trim to brushed aluminum or carbon fiber. If I can't find a vendor, I'll remove it all and install a carbon fiber film over the panels. Anyone every see that stuff, it looks REALLY good. I know there's a pic. somewhere and will post once I find it.
