New (To me) 30i pics.

That’s one of the reasons why I wanted a First Edition. Didn’t want black wheels but wanted black trim. Think the combo suits the Frozen Orange really well.

It does really suit the car. Kathleen was dead set against black wheels but like you wanted the black trim elsewhere. She decided on the shadowline pack and accepted the wheels came as part of that. I’m not a huge fan of black wheels myself but think they go well with the blue

    I like the blue - its better than white or black IMHO
    It was actually a blue car that I spotted that started me on this journey. Just as well we all like different colours or the world would be a boring place.

        Yep, I like VO in the e89 and white is the second best colour IMHO - other call it poverty spec white :rofl:

        White was actually my second choice tbh.

        Test drove a 20i in white, lovely car.

        Not certain white looks good on the G29, black is the same but red / blue look great IMHO - I think suites the e89 where as silver or grey suits the e85 :)
