    Talking Coming Full Circle - My Feature In Bimmer Magazine

    Since last spring I've been involved in an amazing process which has finally come to fruition. Here is the end result:



    You can pick up a copy of the April, 2008 issue of Bimmer Magazine if you want to read the whole thing. Out of respect for the magazine and copyright law I ask that you please not post any further scans of the article online, especially while the magazine is still in circulation.

    I was going to write a companion post to the article, but after finally reading it after all these months of waiting (thanks again for the scans Evan) I don't think I need to. Dan Proudfoot couldn't have done a better job of writing the story, and I'm glad we've become fast friends over the last few months.

    Here are some of my favourite pictures from the photo shoot which weren't used in the article:







    If you have any questions please feel free to ask!

    -Kidding- Very cool that you got that article written. Although, keeping it stock is not something I could ever do. Too much potential that is left untapped in stock form.

    I just went out looking and all the local shops had in my area were Feb 2008 issues. I'll keep an eye out for the April issue. It looked cool.

    Nice car. I especially love the cloth interior. Looks like you've taken very good care of your car.

    BTW - What part of Canada are you in?

    I just read the article. First time I've read a Bimmer mag article in a long time. I forgot how dreamy they make every story.

    Anyways, I'm still waiting on the updated registry you promised to send me, Paul.

    Why am I just noticing that his car does not have the side repeaters on the front fenders? Did all euro cars not have these or just the Canadian spec car.
    Sweet ride Paul...kudos on the no rear spoiler....looks way cleaner without.
