Amazed to see that some G29s are 4 years old now though. :o
Yes,Ian,it's funny how time passes quickly in some regards.
Nick's was one of the first red M40i g29s on the road in Scotland at the time. It was a lovely looking car.
Look forward to seeing the new one soon too. Mate 😁

Nice! Is there is a difference in the exhaust sound between this new one and your old one? I was told by a BMW dealer that the older one sound better since new ones have more crap put in them to comply with current regulations on sound and emissions.

I thought the same when I saw the thread TBH.
Love alpine white, it's a great colour (but I am biased) :thumbsup:

It's early days yet, but what I have noticed is that the exhaust does have a lovely deeper burbling sound when idling :D , something I can't say that I had noticed on my previous zed.

That’s good to see that it hasn’t got worse! Those new model wheels look great, any chance of side on pic to see them better? I wonder if they would fit the E89 :D

Think they changed the PCD on all G series to 5 x 112. :)

Looks nice, congratulations. Just wondering what made you part out the red one? The look very similar. Was there something you were unhappy with?
