Hi All,
New to this side of the camp..
Thought I'd create my own build thread on here to showcase and share the various modifications I will do on the car.
History - I have owned a few E90's, an F30 335d x drive, an F10 and more recently a F06 GC. The F06 was heavily modded and was an enjoyable build, which lasted around 11 months from ownership to me part exchanging it in for a G30. Alot of that build was showcased on IG - project640d.
New Car - The new car/project I have purchased is a
2018 G30 540i x Drive in Bluestone Metallic
The car caught my eye as it has a high specification. I wasn't sure on the Bluestone Colour as I've always gone for Blacks or Greys. However, I feel I made a good choice going for this one. Looking at it side by side to the 640d, it wasn't far off Space Grey!
Like with the F06 I had, I plan to make it individual to me and carry out various changes and modifications to make it my own - all of course, tastefully done
.
