lets just say it was dirty. i did a two step 2 bucket wash. harsher wash to strip the previous wax. claybar, cleaner, polish, and carnuba wax. plastx for the headlights and taillights. all meguiars....i honestly havent tried zano, but meguiars has never let me down as far as overall quality and shine.

Better if it were an M5. A test drive comes with the wax job.

hm .. looks typical.. especially with the shots and no befores.

if you want to see amazing you should see autopia members... next time use halogens to show the real depth of mistakes you fixed and not using the basic light in a garage, basic lighting makes almost any paint look real glossy but good job though... no brands on products u used?

It's neither. It's an inline six that produces 225 HP if the model is 2004-2005, and 255 HP if it's 2006-2007.

Not a whole lot of power, but damn BMWs I6's are nice engines.

The V8 is found in the ones with tags of 45 or 50. (IE 545i or 550i, 645Ci, 650i etc).

why thankyou. id like to put it under one of the lights to see mistakes or the real gloss as people say.but for running my own detail business im pretty proud of the work i put into each car. i treat them all as if they're my own i guess....i think the result comes out better when you actually care about the work you put forth. as for the people who kinda roll through the motion to get the job done.
