You should see my Mrs, she's a cracker (well was a few years ago) :lol:

You may change your mind soon, as I have a few 'plans' for it. MPPSK first to fit in with all the chavs where I live. I'm not keen on the wheels so they may be changed..etc

Pondrew : Nice Ride! Good luck with many miles of joy. Guess you got that "50 shades of Gray" finally out of your system! :rofl: All jokes aside looks fantastic.

Thanks dude. I am actually quite excited about getting it, which has not happened for a while with cars. Can't wait to see if the B58 is as good as I've heard.

Yes mate, they ain't cheap (but what is these days)? The most expensive car I've ever 'bought'. Had many new cars over the past 15 years, but they were all leased, so were never mine.
A bit late now but if you are anywhere near Exeter (Aylesbeare?), you could have test driven it for me! :)
That’s a shame, only 40 mins away. Was it from Paddock Motors, on the main Road? BMW indy
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

Next door. Used to be called 'part exchange centre'. Now have the grand name of 'Tangelo'. Owned by the Merc dealership in Exeter.

Well the new (to me) F33 440 arrived this evening. It's definitely a few steps up in the tech stakes from the E89. It has blind-spot monitoring and a wireless phone charging cradle which I didn't know! :thumbsup:

After a few weeks with my F33 and a few external 'enhancements' I do really like it. MPPSK being fitted in two weeks to give a better exhaust note and 10% more power. :D Just not sure on those wheels :?
