Glad to have you back in another S, Blake 
As Jho said, you never really left, a bit like Hotel California.

I'm about half-way through the full detail. Although this car was spotless, it's my true intention to bring it back to 'showroom'. I've washed, clayed, and done some chip fix/wet-sanding to the exterior. Completed the seats-out detail of the interior this weekend, and that's looking phenominal. When I return to the country on Friday, I'll begin the exterior paint correction. Sorry for the iPhone photo's below. When the car is 'back to new', I will break out the DSLR.
Here's some photo's of the interior at 'Leatherique soak' stage, carpet cleaning, and finally seat-reinstallation. If you've not used Leatherique before, I use it on my M3, religiously, and it returns the seat to 'new' condition. No wear on the bolsters, at all.
Finally, did a little glamour shot with the other classic in the garage.
I'm thinking the caption of this one should be....so three Germans and an Asian walk into a garage....

My seats could use a good conditioning. Did you use the kit with the dye or just the rejuvenator oil and pristine oil? They look really good

Thanks for the compliments. There was virtually no sign that anyone has even sat in these seats, so I just did the rejuvenator and 'prestine' clean. I've seen fantastic results with the dye though if you're seats are at that point.
