Seeing this makes me grateful that Americans didn't do the cosmetic look on the VE, the Aussie Front make this looks like a pile of garbage.

Good to see a G8 on here though :)

down near the drivers door on the front fender it looks like you have a small badge, what is it? Is it just a small square GM badge?

does your 6.0L have the AFM Active Fuel Management?

The transition is seamless, you can hear a faint hum during certain conditions.......but it kicks in so seldom I don't notice. One question tho for you fellow VE owners......I'm looking for these Axis/DTM wheels called shine? What dimentions do you guys think THIS vehicle runs? 19's or 20's.....seems like a staggered. The reason I ask is the offset we use are different than the usual BMW offset of 15 or 20.
