That is a great decision.

The guys I got my car detailed are based in Oldham, OL1 postcode.

I am about 220 miles from these guys, but I still drove up there, spent 2 nights there, the results are very much for all to see.

Looks great gspannu. If only I knew you were coming up north... I could have met with you (if you had the time) for a quick coding session...

I have the Adaptive Drive Suspension (variable Damper Control and Active Roll Bars)
Fabulous car, congratulations! I couldn't agree more on the M Sport front. Just taken delivery of an F11 535d Lux with VDC myself. No way I'd swap for an M Sport trim as it wouldn't give me anything I want over lux and I prefer the cleaner less aggressive look on the non M Sport car.

This is my first F10 being detailed by the same guys as my recent one.

Around 26 man hours went it to this.

The car is a brand new BMW 5 Series.

Car was protected with Opti-Guard
Wheels with Carpro Finest
Inside cleaned and leather with DR leather and Ltt protector

Car on arrival




Wheels cleaned and iron x


Snow foam and all gaps cleaned

Whole car received tar remover


Iron X applied to bodywork


Car was dried and pictures taken of some of the defects it looked like the dealer had already had a go on the one side there were varied rds as well.























Over a 100 pictures were taken of finished left here is a selection the car had a strange milky look to the paint when it come in but as you can see it left looking rather nice.























Opti-Guard being applied


Wheels cleaned and Carpro Finest used




Arches cleaned and dressed


Some reflection shots.
