"Because I'm a Sad Old Git"

MERLIN335i · 12-23-2015, 05:40 AM

Some of you might remember I was a bit bored about three years back and needed a challenge, so I made a key ring for myself, an exact scaled down version of a 335i Head Gasket. (for those who don't know what I'm talking about, see thread in link below).

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=833166

Despite some concerns by some members at the time, after three years, there have been no reports of people losing or damaging their genitalia or slashing their trousers, while having one in their trouser pocket.

Well the 335i has gone now, so the six-pot key ring had to go as well, I have now done a V8 version to suit my M3. As there was some interest back then, thought I would show you the new one. I have used a little "poetic licence", and joined the normally individual gaskets into one.

This one is in Stainless Steel, and will probably do a Titanium version as before.

I can hear some of you saying, why is he posting on here rather than the M3 forum, well the E90Post M3 section, is quieter that the "Mary Celeste" !
