Think it’s him! I was in the convoy too, was such a good morning. Surprised us all when the Lamborghini turned up at the pre-meet before heading over to BMW

I believe it’s still him - assuming sixspeed you’re referring to had it on a white coupe
Nearly but not quite him :thumbsup:

Nice colour :thumbsup: My local BMW dealer is not getting one until early March but the test drive is booked.

No intention whatsoever of buying one but seeing that they offered it would be rude to refuse.

If it only had a hard top I would be in the front of the queue armed with a cheque book for the one in the picture. As it doesn't will just hang on to my old girl

Was at Soper BMW Lincoln today getting the wife's car serviced on while you wait. Saw 2 new Z4 cars...

White M40i being prepared, and a 2.0 in the showroom. It really does not look like a £50k+ car. Plastic grills on the front look cheap, too much like a 'normal' convertible. Echo other comments - from the front it looks like a Fiat Miata. Interior is luxurious, but just follows the rest of the BMW theme, hence nothing special. Some might like that, but sorry - not for me. Not even interested in a test drive.

If I was putting my new money into another convertible, I would move to a used 6-cyl Porsche Boxster for spirited driving, or more likely the drop dead gorgeous F Type for cruising.

I was at Cooper York today. They had two launch models as well as 4 new 3 series just delivered and not prepped yet.

I didn't like the new Zed based on pictures etc, but like them a lot more in real life.

Interesting that they have twin pipes on the 2.0L
That rear badge would have to come straight off though.

Just arrived at my dealer in Scotland. M40i in white and 20i in red. Much nicer in real life. Quite a bit wider than I was expecting.

For some reason the G29 looks more palatable in white rather than red, IMHO!
