| | | BMW 540i Sport White - In Progress
I started on this 540i Sport equipped Bimmer last night. Surprisingly, there are plenty of light scratches especially bumpers and doors. Probably a car wash with brushes.
Here's the start:  
Compounded one door and took a pic before the other. Used the rotary at 1200 rpm and 3M compound.  
Using the lift has spoiled me! It's so easy to do the lower portions of the car 
I'll finish the hood/roof/trunk lid tonight, then glaze and polish.
Later all
Toto

| | 540? You mean 545/550 
My biz partner is going to look at some cars today to lease, not sure if he made up his mind, wants the new V8 X5 but likes the 335i sedan b/c it comes in manual trans. Instead of working yesterday he spent half the day calling dealers lol. For some reason the 335i sedan looks sharp and nice to me, the other 3 series look blah.

| | | You're right Surfer: it's a 545i with a Sport Package. Darn thing is de-badged and this old man can't tell the models (except the 2 legged variety) anymore.
It's a stunning car with the interior in that Zebra wood. All it would need is a ProCharger lurking under the hood...then you could chase M5's

| | | I didn't know it was so hard to mess up white paint, but you're showing us that you can do some serious correction on it! |

I do know there are similar lifts being manufactured in Oklahoma and they sell for approx. $1,500. If you can find a Hemmings Motor News, you will usually see advert's for the lifts.
