The M3 stands out. Glad you got the 4 door. I'm a huge fan of the 4 door as well.

^I ended up not picking anything up from HK! but post a request up on C32/55 forums, or C63 forums, a lot of HK members are on that!


I know I'll probably neglect my C55 once I pick up my E90M next week, so I decided to detail the car (myself) and take some night shots! :thumbsup:

Ive been on/off these forums for a while, and stumbled upon your thread (after maybe 2 years).

All I can say is...... WOW! You've done some great work here. Keep it up...good luck with the M3.

Just one question, from what I see you're still in school, how the HELL do you get the money to do all of this?

^I have to admit, they look nearly "the same"
but the Piaa ones have more of a yellow/orange tone, and the Hoen Endurance had a Yellow/white tone.
