Great write up Phil and team. Wonderful work. Love the stance on the ADV.1s.

 

Looks like a ton of work went into that. Fantastic job!

 

Excellent turn around Phil and Crew. . . e60 M5 is just a hit in my book! Nicely put together in the mod department too.

 

Great Job Phil . It looks like its supposed to now !

 

thanks guys!

 

that was so hammered!!! hope the owner will keep it like this for many months ahead

 

That M5 was in desperate need of attention! lol Great job guys!

 

Very nice guys. That was pretty rough for such a nice car. That Sonax wax looks good. Just wish it had better durability. I have the exact same car including the StopTech upgrade coming in mid June!

 

You guys are ballers.

those newer BMW's have the *WORST* orange peel...

I also notice that bigger cities have the most hammered black cars....cuz there's more "any rag" washers on the street corners of big cities and everyone wants their car to be "blingin" in a jiffy, so they get the $10 wash on the corner. I notice this in Chicago and Atlanta quite a bit, sure it's true in Manhattan too!

 

I love this car. Probably my favorite 4 door car. You guy turned that around and made it " right" again.

Good Job.

 

Beautiful Phil! How many hours did you guys spend on this?

 

thanks everyone! the sonax does look good we put a couple layers on the cars now to ensure we got coverage.

I believe this one was 18 man hours.

 

Nice job Phil!

 

Phil, great job. I hope the owner appreciated that turn around. Car was hammered.

 

Awesome job. Car was in desperate need of love.

 

Very impressive work as usual, those wheels are the tits though!

 

Hammered!

 

I've always loved M3's & M5's andn watching this M5 transform was awesome! Fantastic job Phil! How long did this particular job take you guys?

After photo's look phenomenal!

 

thats wats up ...did a good job almost how i would do it ...loving it how the black is clear
