But saying that, I do like new interior look. I still need to get over to Sytners in Sheff and have a look at one in the flesh
Do it. I drove over the bridge and took a look at one in the metal last weekend. For me it looks better than I was expecting, from the pictures. It was a black one, which I think suits the car well. Still not a fan of the front grill though.
I went last weekend and seen it and also seen one again today when I took mine into main dealers for it's B+ positive battery cable recall.
I can concur I'm not a great fan of the grills myself but I can say I'm liking the rest of the look of the car. I wish I could get my hands on a pair of those seats for my E89 cos they well smart :D

Yes I agree on the seats. Quite the high end look. 8) :thumbsup: Just as long as they are as comfy as the Sports seats in the ///M. :wink:

I like the look of it in the full fat form with all the toys - but cannot justify dropping £25/30k on my current car and them dropping the same sort of dosh gain in another three years when the current car has only got 8k on the clock.

I couldn’t live with a vim / Brillo pad finish either?

No, but we have opinions based on what we've seen so far. This is a forum for discussing those opinions. And I'm sure many opinions will change as people get to see the g29 up close, or take it for a test drive. Some may still not like it after all the above, but that's life, and there's plenty more cars out there to choose from :)

If you're concerned about it, I believe the mods can check the IP addresses of posts to see if they came from the same place - your location.

Shame - that's a great colour!

But having the headlight lens go back over the wheel-arch looks a bit odd. :?

I think out of curiosity I will make some enquires re price of new and value of mine. - purely academic you understand!

It will have to be an M40i tho and from past dabbles in the web page, a new car in the req’d spec was £52/53k

That's a dangerous first step on the way to some wallet busting! :lol:

Looking forward to seeing how this goes!

I agree ! Very dangerous but Mrs K will be in my slipstream.

My current car has only 8k and is only £305 ish ved
An M40i would be a high initial showroom tax and £140 / annum plus the £310 penalty for being fortunate enough to afford it!

I’m trying to talk myself out of being silly you understand?
But the lid on the wooden box is on for a long time is it not?

The front end looks terrible. Rear end I quite like. Still can't believe it's the same weight as an e89 with that soft top roof that's supposed to save weight. :|

Extra stiffening maybe?
Just a guess - they do say it’s a better drive so maybe the underpinnings are better and a bit heavier?
