Sir could you please do a short review of this car as you do for your other cars for sale?
I see it's a T6. Any pros and cons?

There is Google, but your personal experience would be appreciated as the resident Volvo Don.

Thanks

I complained to shagati about my G35x 2007. He met me in person last week and gave his professional advice. An elderly gentle man he is! My fan belt cut and since i replaced it, it has been making serious embarassing noise that made me start using uber to work. He simple said i should get a mecho to rearrange the fanbelt sequence and that was it! Many dumb kazeems made me throw away money replacing bearings, buying 3 fan belts and all. Very frustrating venture but am glad its over!. Thanks mr Shagati.

Yep. Before replacing belts, always download or check your belt diagram online or in the owner's manual. The way the belt was fixed, some components were apparently rotating in the wrong/opposite direction

Tail light solution?
The Lungwun warned me not to try smoked tail lights angry

I think his words were ".....period specific clear lens..." or something like that.

Well I am an obedient child and have concurred.

Shagati:
Parts are arriving

Wonder who Henry is

Remember that in repairing the suspension bits, I made use of used (Tokunbo) parts from Ladipo?
Well, the control arms, discs etc were (ARE) in very good shape but the struts I got (shock absorbers) even though much better than what was on the car when I bought it were pretty much sh!!t and didn't give the desired ride quality befitting this luxury car.

So what to do? Non bank-breaking brand new struts from 'overs'.
The brand is STAGG. Feel free to research them. Reviews are good on Bimmerforums.com

Pull the trigger jor!

The GTR is modified to 1300bhp.
This is a lot more than stock engine output

lungwun:
Oh look, Shagati has a thread on this car!
Just caught up.
First things first, do not ruin the M60 engined car with smoked rear lights, keep it classy with the facelift rear lights with the white and red lenses.
If you are changing the fronts, do not go with white, keep the indicator lenses true to the period and maintain the Amber colour.
For colour, do for one of the period specific bmw individual colours such as Mora red metallic (359) or BarbadosGruen metallic (247/6)
I am partial to TitanSilber metallic (354) which I reckon is the current colour on the car (or Aspen silber) and naturally, since my former BMW was this colour, StahlBlau Metallic (372).

Remember, this will be my car so I have to ensure you treat her tastefully

Uploaded images in this order
1. Mora metallic
2. BarbadosGruen
3. StahlBlau Metallic

Aha! A long, specific post from the "Long One". To be expected though.
Two options at the beginning were apparently to go purist (classy) using OEM colours and upgrades OR showpiece using best in class aftermarket bits.

You are obviously a puritan hence your suggestions; they are suggestions right? grin

Yes she is currently TitanSilber metallic which is a colour I love as well but that has to go as it doesn't fit with future plans for her.

Your comments are noted but do realise that some offers to take her off my hands "as is" have come in via pm. Naija ppl have got no chill at all.

Today is a slow Saturday as no work is planned on her.

Will keep you updated

Modified
Current colour is ARKTISSILBER METALLIC

This could probably be very valuable to Mr Sooperrescue.

Hood, trunk, doors and other body panels look ok
Those wheels are worth something
Windscreen and side Windows
Interior panels, seats and trim
AC components?
