Looking good so far. Keep us up to date. How much pressure are you expecting from the N54 turbos? Where these OEM somewhere or strictly aftermarket?

Nice car.
Please tell us where the analog clock came from and how you installed it.
I think it looks great in the 6er.

First mile was cheap. Subsequent miles increasing in cost. Still a good deal if calculated in smiles per gallon.
