En route from the land of the rising sun!

Good stuff.

I think black kidney grilles can look good on the E60, but I'm just not a fan of the double-slat style given it only came on later generations so just looks a bit out of place (IMO). If I recall correctly there were OEM gloss black kidney grilles available from BMW for the E60 at one point, but I think they have been discontinued now.

Hope all goes well with VRT.

Dreaded VRT done and dusted so paid my pennance and for my registration number.

Ordered a set of pressed plates from Eirplates quick turnaround and delivery.

Have an upgraded CIC unit for the car that DavidK has for me down in Cork just need to arrange collection.

Next up a good service, and booking the NCT.

Nice one! Was the VRT as expected or was there a bit of a surprise?

It's always more than you would like to pay!! Not very far off what I was expecting.

It was the lack of transparency which annoyed me most.

Were you tempted to drop the square plates Tony?

Looking forward to seeing this in the flesh!

I would have guessed c. €2k ?

Any scope to appeal - E60/1 (non M5) prices can vary a lot from €1,500 heaps to €15,000 true minters ?
