Jim - I saw your photos on the Bimmer post section. :thumbsup:
I look forward to seeing your photos. Going anywhere nice? :thumbsup:
And yes, I started a similar thread on the other forum for the lads and lassies across the pond.

These are definitely growing on me. Nice to see some is gloss paint finish too. Shows off the lines so much better. I just don’t get matt finish paint on any car.

I must admit to liking a nice shine to my cars and you’re right, the car looks great. However, I must say that I now get Matt paint (especially Frozen Orange) as it looks absolutely stunning IMO on the G29. Not sure the following photos fit the thread as background not too special and I must take some proper pics over the coming weeks, but does show some of the lines of the G29 even in Matt.

Gorgeous. I really like the gloss black grille, wing mirrors and pieces on the front bumper against the frozen orange. Really sets it all off. :thumbsup:

That’s a beautiful photo and it also shows off your car really well. SF Red looks stunning when it is polished like your car. :thumbsup:

Your car looks fantastic. I tried to order a First Edition in Frozen Orange way back in November 2018. My Dealer told me that all 30 of the UK allocation had been sold. My next choice was a toss-up between Misano Blue and San Francisco Red, both of which are also very nice and show off the lines of the car very well. In the end I decided on Misano Blue and have no regrets.

Thanks Jim. I’ve never had a red car before but when it’s clean and shiny it really suits it. I’m happy with the choice!

Cheers Jim. Misano Blue was on my list as well. I support the Blue side of Manchester (and did so before they came good!) so blue always works well for me! It does look good on the G29.

I think a total number of 44 First Editions came to the UK and most were pre registered by dealers. Current numbers show 43 being registered and 1 SORN. There’s not many M40i around - 383 registered and 11 SORN. G29 3.0 shows 298 and 6 SORN and 2.0 195 and 1 SORN.

With numbers so low it’s got to be worth a nod or a wave when passing other G29’s! :thumbsup:

I have only seen one on the road and it was the weekend after the UK dealer launch event, so I assume it was a test drive. Hopefully see more when we get into spring time.

Surprised to see so many new cars SORN.

I saw a couple on the road soon after launch around Bolton but both belonged to the local dealership. I was also behind a black one on the motorway in Belgium last June and this really sparked my interest in one. It looked absolutely fantastic on the road! No more as yet but think spring will show an increase.
