Hi and welcome
Great looking car
Holmfirth? - I stopped there whilst on a training course many years ago - lovely place but got snowed in.
Couldn't believe how much it put down - compared to the odd 1/2" we get :D

Thanks. We still get snow but not like we used too. My wife has a Daihatsu Terios for when things get bad in the winter.

Hi, I may never buy anything but German cars from now on, BMW's in particular. Got my 1st a few months ago from my aging father who wanted to keep it in the family, he just can't get in and out so easily any more, a 535i. 2nd was my wife's she (we, :wink: )acquired last week. Welcome.... I'm a newbie too.

Welcome. Great choice and introduction to the brand.
My first bimmer was an E36 coupe and I would never consider another brand since owning an E46 M3, E93 and E85.
In for life :D

I was really impressed with the service Mrs Tidy got when she bought her 1st Mini in 2003.

So as a result I bought my 1st BMW in 2005, and have had 1 or 2 ever since! :lol:

Two E46 Compacts, an E87 1 Series, two Z4Cs and an E91 3 Series Touring so far.
Coupes because stunning!

Well, the car has made in back home and I was very impressed with the performance on the way back from Christchurch. I’ve spent most of today (in a howling gale) giving it a good polish. Still got the wheels to fettle, rubber trim to treat and leather to clean but it’s coming on. :)
