This page is for my BMW E39, for those that want to see the Volvo, simply click on my user.

 

Here's the low down of the car, its a 99 540IA, the A stands for Automatic, this was originaly meant to be my daily driver when I bought it in '05. But as I've moved on to a different career, the car's role take another change, for the better I'd say.

Now the car's responsibility is an R&D car for my job, I work at WP Pro , we are a big brake kit manufacture, supplier and we carry out custom brakes for race teams and/or show cars, the car is equipped with our top of line EVO12, its 12 piston front an

d 6 rear, before some you start saying its over done, its not. Our EVO12 is our crown jewel, we spend effortlessly time in design and testing the system, it is the only 12 piston caliper in the world that has seen real sanctioned race events, it is used by Volkswagen Racing & BSR Racing in sanctioned events, it can also achieve -2g or greater deceleration force if the tires can handle it.

Thanks to:
EuroDesign Canada (Mike for all the paint work)
RMP (Rocco for all the mechanical work)

Anyways, here's some info:

One day, I wanted to see how low the car can get, the result: too low to go anywhere, but looked cool thou.

As a R&D car, the car has covered 50k miles in summer, track, rain, snow, -30 winter temperature, but my favorite still taking the dog out.
