General comments?

I bought this m535i from a famiy friend he had it parked up for nearly 4 years on his drive yet every time this car started it was first time every time that's when I knew this car had to be mine. although its on a "c" reg it stands out from a million miles away, it's an m535i its the standard M frnt bk bumpers M side skirts, but the previous owner lowered the car on fully adjustable spax suspension shocks n springs and then he put it on 18inch 3spoke alloys and to top it off he put a straight through exhaust system from a company called pacific performance company its unheard of to me, but the car sounds so deep I have never heard anything that sounds like that its amazin, when I acquired the car the airbox was standard so I spent £89 on a hpi cold air induction kit I had the head rebuilt and the gaskets all replaced I'm runnin it in at the moment I jus had it failed the mot on 6 things

1 rear brk lights faulty

2 number plate light faulty

3 frnt indicator faulty

4 passenger foot well hole

5 driver " " " " " " hole

6 you won't beleive this! the noise emitted from the exhaust system is too loud compared 2 a standard m535i.

These things have been sorted now 1replaced,2replaced 3replaced,4welded,5welded and 6 well I sorted something for that. but all I have to say ids surprisingly the car is in very good condition a few spots of very minor rust nothing to worry, but I will be dedicatin all my ytime n money to the metallic polaris silver m535i which I truly beleive it deserve lets jus say due 2 this car I have put the women on hold!
