I’m a relatively new member, I post a bit, but threads like this put me off. I’m just being honest. I think we all know by now that the OP doesn’t like the G29 and he’s told us this many, many times.

From the outside looking in, why would a G29 owner want to contribute to a forum that’s dominated by a few members who love to tell people how much they don’t like the car that they drive?

I personally do not see the value in threads like this. Forums don’t grow and survive just based on noise. There needs to be meaningful discussion.

This thread could have been ‘has anyone noticed that the seat colours have changed?’, but instead the OP is banging the same old drum to justify why he didn’t end up buying a car that many of us love and enjoy.

How about we change the tone here and be a bit more positive and inclusive? Or should I come onto the E89 forum and say how lucky I am that I no longer own one?

Don’t know how you’ve come to that conclusion when the OP took delivery of a brand new M40i about a month ago. What he doesn’t like is the cognac seats the dealer tried to stiff him with because they placed/confirmed his order with cognac without checking with him first when he wanted black.

He has been rather quiet lately though, quite unusual.

I was going to say that, he had one on order and was waiting for it.

So is John now in the exclusive G29 club (even more exclusive if you have matte paint!)? I can’t recall an update on the order? Hopefully he’s not lost at sea!

I couldn't agree more, even for old members.

It's my opinion (supported by others), if you don't like it, that's absolutely fine. You do you.

If you don't want to listen to another view that's also absolutely fine, but please don't be all surprised when people don't post or people get irritated and tired of these types of threads.

Perhaps I am too young for this forum.
