Hi guys - I'm new here!
 

Just signed up and thought this was the best area for my to say hi.

My current car is a 740ti silver saloon. I got this car December 04 for £350 off ebay. Its a 1989 740 B230ET with M46. It had 173000 Miles when i first got it.

These were taken once she had arrived home.

Think thats it at the moment

I still can't believe what a transformation fitting those rims has made. It really does look sweet-as now mate :) I mean clearly most of it's down to where you fitted the rims :D

For an idea of context, when it's tuned better, that engine configuration should see that car eat an original T5 alive.

Hi.
Nice job!!
Even though I know it is true, I never fail to be impressed by the amazing difference simply changing the wheels makes to a car!
Cool.

Done a great job on the bodywork too. Looks like some real TLC went into that! :)

These are the dash bulbs ( £7 for 2 ) - http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/product_i...oducts_id=1018

And these are the switch bulbs ( £4 for 5 )- http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/product_i...roducts_id=485

Hi,
That was quick.

Certainly looks the part. Are they much brighter than standard?

Cheers.

No, but they add at least 50bhp :Banane44:

cheers
