Beautiful car! Are you considering installing a lower temp t-stat or any of the other mods to lower the engine temps? I assume that has the original N63 twin turbo engine which had to be modified? So, be sure to take care of it and to change the oil every 5k.

Take care,
Ralph

The car has an N62 - which was a 4.8L V8, not the N63. Very clean looking car.

While not for everyone, I’ve always been a fan of this body style, especially the last couple years of production.
But unfortunately, the N62 has a host of problems of its own. Valve stem seals, coolant transfer pipe, gaskets and the list goes on.
