S20i MSport - can't really justify the S30 with my 47 year-old old-man driving - with Pro Pack, Tech Pack, Comfort Pack, Driving Assistant. I've been driving a people carrier for the last 5 years and can literally not wait!

Hello and welcome, hopefully the wait won’t be too painful :thumbsup:

Funny, my OH had a lot of input into the colour combo of ours too………. She chose it and even had the courtesy to ask me if I agreed with her choice :lol:

    58 next week and went for the S30, still riding litre sports bikes too, currently an S1000R Sport. Age is no barrier. 8)

    You will love it.

    That combo wouldn’t have bothered me but I was pretty sure it wasn’t going to be red either inside or out. It’s not one of Kathleen’s favourite colours. If by some outside chance it’d been black exterior then I think that would’ve been red interior.

      53 soon and M40i bikes and me don’t have the best history, every one I had seemed to have the same problem………. the accelerator kept getting jammed fully open :lol:

        Black outside and red inside is the best combo! But then again I am hugely biased! :D

        I bet you can't wait to switch from the people carrier, huge difference! :thumbsup:

        :lol: Looks great but I’m by far too lazy a fecker to keep the black clean and looking its best :oops:

        I’ve done 450+ miles this week and commented to Kathleen when out on Sunday that it was quite dirty but the car was hiding it very well. The only thing visible when we got home was the fly cemetery on the front

          That is very true. I suppose I am just lucky to be living where I am in that it hardly ever rains so at most the car just gets dusty which is swiftly dealt with with a quick jet wash. The ceramic coating helps a great deal too.
