Went for a drive today to enjoy the weather and the car obviously. For some strange reason I can’t stop taking photos of this little beauty. Anyway a few of them attached. Hope you like….

If you keep taking photos or can't help looking back every time you park you've bought the right car. :thumbsup:

Some fabulous photos of a great looking car. I know there’s a lot of negativity surrounding the reliability of 326m alloys but they certainly suit the lines of the E89.

Thanks , yeah I love the wheels and they are in mint condition with no cracks whatsoever. It doesn’t have run flats on which I believe are the main reason of these cracking and obviously our rubbish British roads

Yeah you may have a point , the Valencia Orange does look great but quite a rare beast. White to me is one of the best colours for this car hence why there is so many of them…..

Love that you guys are all on the same page when it comes to these cars…. I also, love to look at it as much as possible . It’s so true what’s said above , about buying the right car if you can’t stop looking. I’m 3 years into this and I hope it’s still got my attention as much as mr tidy , beardy Jon , and the rest of you guys. I was actually meant to test drive an f type last year… but cancelled it …. Not because I think I won’t like it , I know I would… I just COULD NOT come to terms with selling my e89 , it was almost like a moment of panic just at the thought. So , nice to know others feel that way also

Stunning car. Obviously the best colour and wheel combo (I slightly biased). 🤣😂

Can I ask what LEDs you are using for the Angel Eyes or are the the LCI lights?
