  • BMW are famously known for their rear wheel drive cars. In the last ten years however, this has seen a shift with the introduction of an X-drive system. BMW launched this system on the X-models (X3 and X5) as a rival to the Audi’s Quattro system and Mercedes Xmatic system. In recent years the X-drive has been developed and refined to be offered on saloon and coupes. This is BMW’s latest offering in the 3 series range, the 335 diesel powered M performance X-drive Saloon.

  • The Mini 1100 Special LE was released in 1979 to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of Mini production. Billed as the ‘most lavishly-equipped production Mini ever’, it was initially scheduled for a production run of 2,500. However, the Special generated so much enthusiasm amongst those that saw the prototypes that the grand total was boosted to 5,000. It topped the Mini range price list at £3,300!

  • Porsche adopted the ‘Carrera’ name to commemorate the company’s success in the Carrera Panamericana race. The Targa and Panamera were also derived from races where Porsche had success. This 2010 Carrera was certainly a fantastic example but having only just been purchased, it was clear that the bodywork needed some attention.

  • In 1992 Jaguar excelled themselves with the XJ220, the fastest road car they’d ever produced. That record wasn’t broken until 2008 when the XKR-S was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. A limited run of 200 were made for the European market in LHD and RHD versions. Boasting a massive 410bhp and uprated aerodynamics and suspension set up, the XKR-S was only available in ultimate black.

  • The BMW E46 M3 is widely credited as one of the best sports coupes ever made. 50/50 weight distribution, over 343bhp at your fingertips and iconic looks makes this car the ultimate driving machine. This particular car has a few extras too. CSL Aloy wheels and the Alcon big brake kit make this car look better and stop quicker above standard models. The customer of this car got in contact with Dream Detail to see if we could inject some life back into this tired looking example.

  • BMW have recently been very keen to push paint technology, first with the revolutionary frozen paint finishes and also with their new Xirallic paint colours. The pigments within the paintwork have ultra high reflection properties which make it unbelievable in direct sunlight. In the shade, the car gains a very deep, dark colour as the flakes within the paint disappear.

  • Released in 1999 this model was Audi’s offering to the market for those who wanted comfort and style found within the estate range but with a more rugged and offroad capability. Many allroad owners bought the car for that very purpose and rare would you find one that has only been used for regular daily drives.

  • Another classic Jaguar from Dream Detail and this one was a real beauty. Owned by a very good client of ours, this is used as a daily driver. The whole car was in a great shape but needed that professional touch to bring the best out of both the paintwork and interior. Jobs like this are a really good chance to show exactly what Dream Detail can do and how it can benefit your car.

  • The Lotus Elise is a future classic for sure. Low stance, mid engine and fantastic chassis make this not only a great car for the open roads, but an absolute beast on the track. This particular car is the supercharged version boasting 0-60 in just 4.3 seconds.
