The GruppeM RAM Air Intake System Lung Transplant
Brought my Fraulein in for some cosmetic surgery some weeks back, sorta like my NDP present to her for being away at work during the National Day long weekend - in fact, I had to sneak about 2 hours off from work that weekend to whisk her away to the garage for the procedure:
36. Her new GruppeM lungs had arrived a couple of weeks early from Japan, catching me by surprise ... so had to immediately grab the Bavarian sexbomb to the clinic:
37. First off, gotta remove the lungs you came with,
mein liebe, trust me, they won't hurt a bit! *GASP* A gaping big hole! Don't worry, they're gonna fill it up in a minute ...
38. Now, what did the instructions that came with it say again? Oh my, they're gonna give you not just bigger lungs, but a bigger, conical chest too. See that pinkish-red cylinder in the background? The doc says it'll push you up to a 36C. Hmmmm ... I like!
39. There! That was rather simple wasn't it? Let the nice man in coveralls do a little nip and tuck:
40. Wait a minute, did they shortchange you on any extra silicon, no no, I meant carbonfibre? How come your E92 cousin has extra carbonfibre in front?
41. Oh no, silly GruppeM says that they don't make that extra CF piece in front for you and your 1 siblings baby, coz they wouldn't fit the slender gap in between! That's just a really sorry excuse isn't it? Well, at least they compensated us with a pair of air scoops which your cousins won't get, they are supposed to help direct airflow into your new lungs better:
42. All done! Let's get you a little wipedown:
43. And not forgetting the little sticker which some say adds 10 horses:
44. And you're good to go! 4D numbers, anyone?
45. Let's crank it up and hear how you sound like:

The video certainly does no justice to the actual growl you now make does it not,
mein liebe? You are now more eager to rev once the 'rush' kicks in after 2500rpm, and are prone to causing your master to push harder on what feels like a lightened throttle response whenever there're slowcoaches on the road.
And that booming growl you made last Sunday as you eased into Cathay's MSCP from the Mount Sophia entrance? That was certainly a classy way of announcing your arrival, my Fraulein in the sexy black dress ... well worth the investment!
That's all for now!
Next up: Lowering the suspension ... stay tuned.
PS: I'm sorry if I allowed Uncle Kim to 'rape' your new lungs a bit hard past the redline on Saturday. Yes, yes, he 'raped' your cushy Coral Red leather passenger seat the other time at T3 and I promise you I'll never let him do it again to you. Try. Coz he's much bigger than me, y'know? Hey, at least he didn't do it with a bunch of his other perverted friends over and over again like they did to that poor grey Toyota MRS on Saturday, remember? :yikess:
