3 weeks old 2006 M3 with EVERY available option. Wheels/exhaust/H&R springs are aftermarket.



Another free detail for the owner of the shop. Didn't touch the interior. Sorry about the lack of outdoor pictures - it was raining on & off.



I think the paint came out looking awesome. Very slick as well.

hey car looks great but i have a question. if u look at that turned tire in the front of this pic, do u notice how its on kind of a slant? my tire does the EXACT same thing on my pathy and i didnt know if it was normal or not. it just doesnt look like that should happen

Yup, very common on larger vehicles I believe. Seems to allow for sharper turns if anything.





One thing though, on the M3, why isn't there a chrome surround on the front hood grilles?

phew, thanx guys. i put 18s on last spring and bumped the tire size up so i was worried it bent or something.

Looking good Thomas. No wonder he sends you all that biz. I bet is was nice to work in a nice warm shop like that. Although it has been a bit warm in NOVA lately. Not tomorrow though. The weather people are talking 40's.

Thanks Brad and everyone else.



There is a paving company about a mile away :wall within minutes after one dries the cars, there is so much dust!!! I actually hate detailing there, but the window tinter was out today and it gave me a chance to work inside with the gate shot :D



I just came home and it is freezing.
