Newbie - East Herts M40i

Post by hadhamboy1966 » Mon Mar 13, 2023 9:19 pm

Hello everyone, new to the forum, and as is the way, thought I'd introduce myself in the appropriate fashion.

My Sapphire Black with Magma Red M40i is now exactly a year old - and I'm loving it. It has the Shadowline Plus and Tech Packs, and was a replacement for a '19 M4CP.

In the rural area where I live the roads are an absolute potholed mess, I'd hazard that it's probably as fast, if not faster, A to B than the M4, due in the main to far more compliant suspension, better steering, and a gearbox that actually works at anything less than 8/10s. No issues so far, a couple of limp home episodes rectified by stopping and restarting notwithstanding!

ETA - Thank you for the advice re: posting piccies, like most things, easy when you know how!

I've not seen many in black, but thats stunning - especially with the red interior. Really shows the lines and those rear lights off well.
