I like the interior on VO but prefer a single colour vehicle although if it was the right car / spec etc. I would have one with a black roof :D

I guess it's like Marmite.
Yes 100% agree with that.
It would be a boring old world If we all wanted the same colour - and old pal hated silver cars with a passion!
I've conducted a taste test this afternoon and can confirm it is nothing like marmite.

When I first saw the interior in the one I bought on the video sent to me by the garage, I thought it looked a bit "boy racerish". Too much orange leather and as said, the additional orange stripe on the seats and stitching. When I saw the whole package in the flesh, it all looked right to me. Not to everyone's taste perhaps but we can't all be perfect can we? :poke:

Didn’t catch sight of this little, or not so little, beauty first time round. Also drill holes in picture 8 on the rear roof slam panel.

Still also sticking with my original, too much white (body filler) dust under the bonnet for my liking

    Certainly a strange car - there is something odd with the iDrive as well - just one to be avoided unless mega cheap :thumbsdown:

    Bit strange the rear reflectors missing, must have fallen off when the new exhaust was fitted.

    Missing reflectors look deliberate and definitely an MOT fail!

    ...it’s definitely an after-market idrive. Nothing wrong with that, it just is.

    Jet turbine?
    There is something I really don't like about that car, but can't put my finger on what. The MOT history is actually pretty good but I just don't like it. It has a very recent MOT, so the reflectors either were removed recently or he/she has a very friendly tester! :|
    All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

    F31 320i. Good car.
