It worked!! I am so happy. My car isn't as fancy as some of the other members but to me she is a queen.

Congratulations, she looks great. And what do you mean, "not as fancy," am I missing something? Enjoy driving her.

Some members have the 19 plus inch wheels, wire mesh grills and other fancy stuff like Ipod, MP3 player, Nav etc. I don't have,

To be honest, she is 14 years old and has her share of scratchs here and there along with a couple of minor dents. I hope to have them removed by the paintless dent repair guy this summer.

she is not perfect but I do enjoy her alot and prefer to use her around town and I let the BMW740 sit.

Thank you for the kind remarks.

You're on a roll with the pics.
Looks superb. You should use one as your SigPic.

Is yours a rag top or coupe?

I really wanted a coupe, there just aren't any around.

Wow! Bigvettefreak, your car is a beauty. It's so clean! I prefer the classic three-gauge dash look over the nav-screen. I was noticing the gear shift knob. Do you have a close up picture of it? It looks like one that has caught my eye on www.Britishautowood.com. Congrats and enjoy it!

Cheers!

Jon

How hard were the covers to put on or did you have a shop do them?

Also what covers did you get? I see them on Ebay from $400+

The size limits on a SigPic are 500 x 100 pixels or 9.8 KB (whichever is smaller). You'll have to edit a copy of the pic you want to use to get it within these limits.

My SigPic is from an original 2.4 MB pic edited to 125 x 59 pixels and 11 KB.

I've eMailed you a copy of the first of your pics saved as 150 x 95 pixels and 10 KB as an example.

I had a shop do it, I'm not that brave. I don't remember now, I do remember they were in that price range.
