I've cheated on her with a younger Porsche. Then I bought her flowers. And she has forgiven me. Nice E89.

Not sure driving constitutes ‘what have you done to your car’? :tumbleweed: :headbang:

As mine is for sale, I went outside with the intention of cleaning it and taking some photos. But is was bloody freezing, so went back inside.
Therefore I actually did nothing to the car today. :D
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Haven't actually done anything to it, but I picked these up from the body shop for fitting in the near future.

probably was about time the E89 had its own space, altho there has been good grace allowing for posts on the E85/86 pages for some time…

I will now slide off and find something electric to post or I fear Peter will start shaking his stick more… whilst I do, here’s a picture of a wheel

Spent a snowy afternoon calculating the impact of changing front and rear discs, calipers including my new rear BBK and their impact on front / rear brake ratios aka brake bias and impact on master / slave cylinder ratios… :rofl:

If you have a question..ask? :tumbleweed: :thumbsup:
