Holiday is over. Work starts again with lucky 7s on the clock as I parked near the office.

Lunch etc@Ginza&Tsukiji

Went to Ginza and around Tsukiji for a day. It's been sometime since I last been here as I have been ultra busy. Had lunch at 'Marunouchi Building' where there is a really good Pizzeria & Restaurant called Isola-smeralda. After that wondered around Marunouchi and Tsukiji where I have taken this photo from one of the residence in Tokyo.

Before&After@Car Park

Before (Left:Ellipsoid Style) became... After (Right:167M)

These pictures were taken on different day. Isn't it amazing that my shooting position is nearly the same...

Modification1@Studie Yokohama

The day has come! After receiving a call from Mr I telling me that the parts are now in store and ready to be fitted, I and my 650i made ourselves present at "the" specialists at around 16:30. Since today is bang in the middle of Golden week holidays the garage was so crowded with many BMW enthusiasts waiting for their machines to be treated too! I tell you my car is nothing compared to what these guys do to their machines... some had spent over 50k on modifications alone and this is almost 10 times the money I have spent here today! After waiting for the garage cue for good hour and a half and an additional few hours for my 650i being fitted with the new alloys, tyres, suspension kit and "Angel Eye" ring markers it was already 22:00!


Finally all the parts are in place. The M6 wheels with this 30mm lowered suspension looks just too good! The ride has improved tremendously too thanks to the BTS kit and radials.

The "Angel Eye" ring markers are fully operational too. Just compare this higher hue white-ish illumination with the factory original orange-ish one pictured to the right. Money well spent! Now it's time to get paid more!
