Thank you, fellas!

16°C

Man, been hot in Frankfurt lately, today it's around 35°C which is hot for Germany. No AC at work and no AC at home which is pretty standard for Germans.

OP you did an amazing job on that interior man it looks fantastic. If I ever kill someone and need to clean up the body I'm giving you a call.

Thanks, Newjack! That would be a first, but we can give it a try.

Yep, mine was beat up down to the plastic too. I ended up sanding the whole thing bare so that I could get a smooth finish with the vinyl. Don't write it off!

You really wrapped that properly. I'm wondering how would matte paint hold up...

It should still work out fine with a wrap. I didn't sand my trim down like Pizza but it works for me. But if you want that factory fresh goodness...new will be pretty sweet.

It would most likely work but I do wanna keep the stock look and feel. That being said I just learned the price for a new one. A pretty pricey piece of plastic.

Man 34-35° is basically a daily occurrence here lately plus a stupid amount of humidity. Can it please be autumn already?

I'd take heat over cold and miserable rain every time. Beginning of September is when the weather goes to shit in Germany. It's been a nice hot summer with little rain so far.

Don't you dare wish us closer to winter... don't do it!

I said goodbye to the 8er today.

I knew from the start it wouldn't be in my custody for long. I'm left with another regret for not being able to follow through this project and it's the 2nd 850i that I let go without properly enjoying it first.

It's a fantastic car that deserves to be back on road and it went to a very nice guy from Belgium.

The car is on its way to Dusseldorf and Wokke who is a well-known guy in E31 world and expert for the 8 series who will go over the car in detail. It's safe to say it'll be in good hands.

The same guy who brought it to me took it away.





I already have something else cooking so stay tuned.

That's a whole lot of cooking.

Is anyone else getting way too attached to these cars? This is an emotional roller coaster...
