Thanks mate but not my camera work. Pics were taken by Vinh. A very talented young photographer. Will organise another photo session with him for some of the guys here on Melb when he gets back from OS

Thankyou for your kind words, it's been s pleasure building and sharing the adventure with fellow car enthusiasts.

Hope you have enjoyed reading the thread, it's getting a bit bulky now, so great effort if you got this far lel

I seriously cannot get over how amazing those rims look on your car. If I didn't have different goals atm I would sell my BBS CHRs in a heartbeat.

Cheers Torgus. I think they suit the E92 really well and being light weight, perform great too. Sounds like you have clear plans for your build, good luck mate. Mod on brah

Most welcome mate. Please count me in haha. She looks dead georgous and that detail certainly brought the shine back. Planning on getting the detail next month and then mine will be ready for a nice shoot. Anything else you are going to do the car like a performance lip upfront?

Thanks Ink....

As mentioned above, I can't take the credit for these pics.

These are from a photo shoot we did up at Cardinia Reserviour, Emerald by the very talented Vinh.

Car was still nice and clean after the MotorEx, so we braved the cold Melbourne weather to take these shots... enjoy

Mod 65 - NBT retrofit

Finally got around to replacing the old CCC backlit screen and electronics with with newest NBT system

There are a few peeps to thanks for making this happen... First Cashy who organised the the group buy. DrJ for his advice and encouragement

and finally Vlt (Vince aka BMW Yoda) who weaved his magic by doing the retrofit itself (genius

)

Vince had to remove the CCC, disassemble the CCC screen, trim all the brackets and frames, rebuild the screen unit with the NBT doner LCD screen (which took the best part of 5 hrs), wire and reinstall everything, all in one day... legend...

NBT looks modern, is super fast and one of my fav mods to date...
