Sars, I’ll check when I back out but I’m sure it’s Pilot Super Sports

    Well as you know it’s now here and it’s lovely. Couple of quick observations, the colour and combo with the shadowline pack really suits this car and we’re delighted with it. I honestly have lost count of the amount of comments and compliments we’ve had.

    It’s a very nice place to be and I like the smooth drive and tech in it. The biggest surprise, probably because I’ve never had it before, is the adaptive cruise. I really really like it. The seating position and overall cabin space is great.

    Personal choice again but I’m so glad we never went for frozen grey. Came out this morning and the bonnet had some serious bird sh!t on it. Being ceramic coated it was down to Halfords’s for some Autoglym bird dropping removal wipes and after leaving them soaking for 5-10 minutes they came off no bother.

    Anyway some of you asked for some proper photos so here you go, oh and I forgot how hot it can be with the roof down :oops:

        Was just going to get some ready to stick some up and just been told “the sun’s out, move your arse, we going out!!”

        I’ll post later but when we went down for breakfast the hotel manager asked to speak to me and I was like :awww feck” :oops: he said to me “I have a question for you sir, what engine size is in your BMW and is it fast” :driving: :lol:
        Two virtually the same - I want some with decent scenery included

        Out is best when the the sun is there but get some posted ASAP.

        Nice to know he was interested in it - maybe you can flog it to him at a profit :rofl:
        Now fixed for you :P

        He may be interested but he ain’t getting it.

        Proof of the sun, feckin idiot :oops:

              That fifth photo has almost got me ringing Listers Boston up and changing the order to blue with shadow line plus, the only thing stopping me is the interior would have to be black or ivory, cognac just wouldn’t work.
