So after 3 years I finally managed to get my brand new plates made for the sportster



I'm skiing in France at the moment but hopefully first trip out on Sunday!!!

Well done! - particularly as you are the first E39 based to complete.

Do let us know how that rear end suspension compares to the E30/36.

Congratulations and well done finishing your Sportster!!

How did you wangle a new registration??

Great -fantastic.

And, from someone who will be crossing the registration bridge quite soon, I also would like to know how you got that new registration :-)

I simply sent away all the documentation the DVLA asked for, :). Just home from skiing, and have the plates in hand ready to fit tomorrow.... I'm actually scared to drive the thing. 3 years of hearing the M3 lump tick over in the garage is all of a sudden going to turn into hearing it under load whilst driving! I've never driven a 320+ BHP engine never mind in a kit car weighing much less than a standard car!

Congratulations!

Well done - yes it is going to be very interesting to hear from you how you feel and experince the "monster" :heh: :shock: :twitch:

This should be rather exciting with that much power :D It feels fairly swift with the 2.8 M20 stroker and you've got a good 120-130bhp more! Let us know how it goes :)
