Feb. 7, 2008 - Birthday present from my wife, with love
Stumbled upon one original BMW-Motorsport M-Technik rear spoiler on local BMW-club forum and accidentally mentioned about it to my wife.
Her unbelievably beautiful smile just made me melt once again when I heard her saying:
"Wouldn't that be a great birthday present for you my love ?"

Just need to get some Alpine White II and my "M-Sport" -facelift reincarnation is about to be ready. |

Oct. 10, 2007 - Powdercoating dreams
It's been fairly quick summer and not much driving due to many things. Had an opportunity to take a one longer trip and see where the governor is so I consider this good enough. Just before the insurance cut-off bumped into big problem. Looks like gearbox is leaking major. Source being either turbine or shaft seal (or something on te engine side of bell housing.
Took it off the isurance and while waiting my garage to get cleaned up, had it powdercoated this morning:

Yep, call that Alpine White II |

Mar. 20, 2007 - Summer is here...NOT, (but we'll make it)
so it's about time to get ready. We got few sunny days and I was able to clear most of my front yardage from snow and make it ice -free. Took her out and installed final pieces to complete Finlandisation.
Removed BC-plates and holders from rear, screwed in EU/FIN plates. Had to leave migthy RoadFly sticker underneath for now as it was too cold to scratch it out without damaging the plastic holder underneath.
Tom sent my CSi -compatible plate holder pieces fairly quickly ;) and this is how she looks like today:

Global warming, please...
