This car is absolutely stunning my bro 
The F80 M3 is truly a timeless design, love how well it ages. If you see me with one, just know you are the reason for it.
Looking good bro, good job by Sauber as well to get her looking brand new.

If you want to sort out that dent on the bonnet, I can recommend Dent Centric in Kempton Park. Give Nigel a call: 0615839778.
He will remove it while you wait and you won't remember that the dent was there.

Okay Gents,
So quick update since i last left off.
Mechanically the cars been running fine. I was still getting O2 sensor errors. Xflow decided to clean the 02s and see if that helped. 02 sensors cleaned and drove the car around for a few days. No issues thereafter and no codes. For peace of mind i decided to replace the 02s with new ones.
Got a set and fitted. All good since.
Beamerfest was an awesome event. Took a few pics:

Next up i sent the car back to Sauber to complete the frontal PPF and final layer of ceramic Coating.
Came out beautiful...
Next up, Fitted carbon anniversary badges all round, Carbon side skirts and carbon front bumper splitters thanks to @FiRi@Rennzport. Fantastic service and quality products as always.
Sauber fitted a more aggressive diffuser that i loved. Sauber always going the extra mile.
Xflow added MPE style exhaust tips.

One thing that was always playing on my mind was the crank hub failures. Xcede had the Vargas “Spline Lock” technology Crank Hub in stock.
Decided to get that done just to be on the safe side.
While the crank hub requires alot of labor and parts that need to be removed i was advised to change a few items along with the crank hub as preventative maintenance (Save on labor costs later on).
So The following was done at Xcede:
VTT Spline Lock Crankhub and Capture plate
Timing chain
Timing chain guides
Timing chain tensioner
Oil pump chain kit
Front main seal
Both overlids
Tappet cover gasket
Vanos central bolts intake & exhaust
Motul 300V Oil and oil filter
Oil sump gasket
Sump bolts
Gents apart from this i really have to give @Xcede Performance a massive shout out here. The service is next to none. From the time i dropped the car off i was updated frequently through the days on progress, any other findings that may need to be done and just general feedback (Pictures, Videos ect). The care taken for the car was also appreciated. Because time was not on my side the Juvan even took my car for wheel alignment and filled up fuel for me so when i came to fetch i dint need to make any other stops.
You hardly get this level of service these days and i really appreciate this.
@Xcede Performance Thank you!!
