Thanks for the updates despite the circumstances. Out of curiosity what tires are you running right now? You seemed to hook really well. Can't wait to see the new HREs on.

Also can't wait to see the new CF parts by Vorsteiner. Even if they don't show up on your car at SEMA, will the parts still make their debut there?

Lastly, is your car done as far as power mods go? Anything else in the works?

The CF stuff looks great. Or at least I expect it to: I saw the bucks and they were stunning. Very unique, but I don't want to spoil their surprise, so that's all I'll say. And I have no idea if Vorsteiner will be showing them on other cars at SEMA. I was promised the first set for letting them use my car, but this is the auto industry, so assume what you will.

More power? I like the idea, but I also like that my motor is 100% stock internally. I like Dads C63's build a lot, but I don't think Andy's ported heads are in my future. A set of lumpy cams might be nice, though... Forced induction would be the only way left for me to get any real gains. But where, when, and how? Vadim tried the supercharged thing to no avail, the Brabus twin turbo setup won't fit, no one's working on a Vortech setup as far as I know, and nitrous is just kinda ricey, y'know? So, where does that leave me?

Dude, nice garage!

I'd like to have a boosted bimmer coupe in my stable someday. I love 3'ers.

And thank you very much for your condolences, guys. She was a remarkable woman, but she was 95 and very frail, and we knew it was coming so the blow wasn't too sudden.

Good footage Josh. I'm sorry to hear about your grandma man, my condolences. Hope your recovering from your illness. Have you talked with anyone about that meet we were talking about possibly setting up in our area? I've thrown it out there to a few people. I'll start gatthering some more heads and see what we can conspire lol. Can't wait to see the new wheels and the CF goodies. Thanks for sharing the clips.

I've either pulled, ran even, or very close to:

Stock CTS-V, Stock E55, HPF Stage 2 on pump fuel, AA Stage 2 on Meth, Stage 3 S4 on Meth, Modded M5, Stock M5, Stock C63, Tuned C63, 440whp 335I, etc.

Josh's Silver Dragon C63 and Murtaza's lightly modded M6, were both faster than all of the above, in some cases quite a bit faster.
