The W222 will only arrive after CNY...

Previously, my F13 640i & the old F02 730Li were parked side by side in the personal garage spaces:

Where as the F15 X5 sat alone in the parking spaces in front of my house. Right now, I've moved the 2 older cars out of my garage and onto the parking spaces in front of my house:

And the lonely G12 740Li is waiting, for her new friend to join:

Once the W222 joins the family, I'll be sure to post the pictures of the new baby up!

Thanks. Yes, there's just wife and me. No kids. She will drive th W222 S400L when it arrives after CNY, I'll drive the G12, F15 and F13 for now. It is likely that I'll end up letting the older cars go - to be sure, it's fun to be able to change different cars for different needs, but to be honest, all my cars have pathetic mileage. Less than 7000km per year sad.gif.

Your avatar shows the LED lights of a face lifted F02? Show us your car and share your pride and joy! Is yours a 730 or 740?

Haha, sounds fun!

I think my display picture is the face lifted 6 series. Not mine yet as i'm still under 30 years old tongue.gif

The Camry in the attachment is my car and this was taken right after i took it back from the paint shop, hence the shine biggrin.gif

Over the CNY holidays...

Took the chairs out...wash and sun dry

Add sound proofing, deadening and absorbing material everywhere

Removed front bumper...repair broken mounting, tighten loose bits and pieces in the engine bay

Clayed, polish and waxed...clean clean clean and more cleaning everywhere

Presenting my new old car...1st batch CBU Swift from 2005...ori paint work

Totally different driving experience now...so much lower noise floor...door closes with a solid "thud"...so happy so much better than before...

Looks really clean! My sister's car is the 2010 model and it looks much more terrible with broken skirting and scratches all over tongue.gif

Btw, how much did the sound proofing, deadening and absorbing materials cost? How many extra kgs and any significant increase in fuel consumption?
