Seven years and the legend lives on!

aussiem3 · 10-25-2014, 07:27 PM

It will be seven years on 22 November since I picked up my car. It still puts a smile on my face as it did the very first day I drove it. Just an amazing car. I cleaned and detailed it myself and would love to share with this great community. Enjoy!

JEllis · 10-25-2014, 08:30 PM

NICE!

Looks like you've kept her up well!

Just updated with resized pics. My pride and joy

Yes, I look after her really well. Garaged and always parked under cover when possible. That engine and the exhaust note with test pipes and MPE just to die for. Thank you for the compliments.

AlteredBe4st · 10-25-2014, 09:33 PM

Very nice. Legend indeed

Saandiaago · 10-25-2014, 10:15 PM

That's a gorgeous and well maintained car. Glad you enjoy it so much. By the way, how do you keep those exhaust tips so clean?!

Saandiaago · 10-25-2014, 10:28 PM

Awesome. Thanks man. I'll have to pick some of that up. Super clean looking!

Yvette · 10-25-2014, 11:16 PM

Alen E90 · 10-25-2014, 11:33 PM

Attention to detail. :-) Awesome looking ride.

Agent-GHQ · 10-26-2014, 04:06 AM

I'll be saying that too in 7 yrs 😄

aussiem3 · 10-26-2014, 04:43 AM

A couple on the CF roof.

swagon · 10-26-2014, 07:13 AM

Very clean and tidy.

Here's for another 7 years of sheer driving pleasure!

///M Power-Belgium · 10-26-2014, 07:14 AM

After 7 years she has still the showroom look !
A perfect detail job was done here even the S65 is looking brand new !
So congrats my friend

But maybe just one thing...she realy begs for LCI taillights .

Yes, I did all that with my E46 ... but I am so happy with this car, it hasn't even crossed my mind P. Thank you for reminding. The worse part of this all is and you drive it, you look like a goldfish in a bowl. Others think it is a new car

I just simply wanted to share the pics. This time, seven years ago I was counting down the days for the arrival of this car. Today, I am purely enjoying a truly driver's car. Couldn't be happier

W/// · 10-26-2014, 07:49 AM

HOw do you like the steering wheel? A buddy of mine had his but he didn't use the functions much.

Helmsman · 10-26-2014, 07:53 AM

Man that car looks clean, and its clearly not like you don't use it according to the clock - good work!

It must have been a very rare car when it was delivered back in 2007, one of the first around I bet?

Cheers

I really love it, especially the shift light, and at night it adds that wow factor with the lights going all over. Also on track G-force meter is good and you can see the shift from side to front. It's gimmicky but fun

It's also slightly slimmer compared to the stock wheel which I still got.

It was the first lot that came into Australia, and after being told that I had to wait eight months to get one, I sudden got to jump the queue because the front runner wanted the SMG/DCT and not a manual. I am a manual person and grabbed the opportunity with both arms. I love the colour and especially at dusk it adds different hue. Just love it.
