Yeah it is very OE other than the radbourne decal strips in fact the new owner not JRP has refurbed the alloys and it needs a repair to the passenger door as someone tried to break in to it but other than that it is perfect runs like a dream and it so quiet and the engine sounds fantastic.

when i brought my car from cgb he said they did do this to a few of the 5 turbos because they were takin a while to sell on the forecourt and was abit of a problem to get rid of.adding the stickers it wouldd make them apealing to the eyeand as you said pass them off as a limited eddition.im pretty sure he said it was only down the south london area they did this.
MOT???
This is for the people who ask and ask for updates and i never bother.
Ok most of you now know iam very unhappy with my paint job.
So today armed with G3 compound, sonus polish compound, nattys wax (smells sexual) and a host of other goods i went to town on her.
Trying to sort out the things the body shop so woefully attempted to correct.... pathetic if iam to be truthful.
Anyhooooo it took fecking ages but i think one maybe two more sessions on it i may be a tad closer to being happier, this is how she now looks.
She looks absolutely Spangly-tastic mate!
Defincately looking forward to getting a picture of all these minty OE examples re-emerging now!
P.S. - I like your old man's new 5 series!

Update.
Been offroad since november, bad weather etc
Thought id do somthing as i was bored, so the engine is out and stripped.
Been on a spending spree for a few weeks.
T25 turbo, Piper 300 spring and vernier may change to 285, forged pistons, steel liners, manifold (tubey), l/b flywheel, pretty large front mount.
so its ll go go here.. still in 2 minds wether to change the rods with the pistons etc (makes sense in my head)
anyway a few other things being done, general clean up of bay and under the car AGAIN...
So 563 miles done and now having a change up... pic to follow peace
Come on Jerpa, you can't do an update without pic's
Can't believe me, Dave, Phil and yourself snapped the gear selector rod getting the engine out
