Another marmite colour ?

Post by GoSteve » Sun May 13, 2018 8:34 am

Congratulations on your new car. I didn't list Havana brown among the options, but one thing the poll showed is whilst white is popular, we all know from past experience how quickly white can go out of fashion. Favorites were spread quite evenly otherwise. This is a classy colour with the correct interior combination. Style never goes out of fashion. Well done, I would have bought it too, despite no iDrive and heated seats. I'll look out for it at Beauliea in July if your there. Doubt there will be another one. Good call.

Please tell us you’re joking! :lol:

dont worry you haven’t done anything wrong. I think Rob was concerned about the badge being there as the 23i is naturally aspirated :)

Thanks I bloody love it
Will try and make a few shows Everyone who sees it comments on how classy the colour looks.
One thing I do need to do is ditch the front run flats the rears have been changed over but fronts need doing.

Mine is on ordinary tyres. A much more compliant ride.
My Melbourne Red 23i is going up for sale this weekend.
35is is the way to go. Same running costs, more power.
Just struggling to find one in red.
I bought the 23i simply because of the colour combination.
May see yours at Beauliea.

I wanted one in Red when I ordered mine Aug 16
BMW couldn’t : wouldn’t accept the order - code 555
Had to accept a space grey 35is
You don't stop playing when you get old - You get old when you stop playing!
So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:
