Some photos of my new baby. Not spent much time in it so far but will post a review once I get a chance to get to know it.

The more I see of the G29, the more it's growing on me, I may be in the minority but I definitely prefer it to the E89.

Wasn't sure about Misano Blue but it looks good in your photos although - I suspect black grills and trim accents may make it look even better but I think you can only currently get those with the 'Black Pack' which includes black wheels (which I'm not keen on)

I must admit I wasn’t so keen when I first saw the new shape but I think we are all a bit resistant to change. That looks like a beautiful piece of machinery and no doubt it will be great to drive. You can’t beat the six pot engines IMO. Let’s hope we have Summer like last year so you can make the most of the top down opportunities. :thumbsup:

No, Air Scarf is a Mercedes thing. It comes with heated seats and Comfort Pack includes heated steering wheel.

The M40i comes as standard with Cerium Grey grill, mirror caps and wheels. IMHO this is nicer than the Black wheels and grill that comes if you specify the Black Pack at an extra £500. The black grill looks a bit cheap to me, but others may like it. Each to their own.
