It’s sunny, so in a break between Zoom calls I went for a coffee in a very clean black sapphire Z4 this morning. Took the opportunity to get a few shots before she’s covered in South London’s finest road crap too :lol:

Also wanted to test the new wheel out and check for any lights - bizarrely the airbag light is STILL OFF after disconnecting and connecting the battery yesterday :thumbsup: The MFSW buttons still don't work but its a wonderful wheel to drive with.

Excellent, looking very good. I see you raided the Storm shop as well :D - I have gone for titaniium in mine as I had the one you have now before.

Those 107s are such an improvement on the 108s :thumbsup:

Yes, the Storm gearknob and handbrake handle - whilst very cold this time of year - are great additions.

Love the pictures, the car looks great :thumbsup: . I always think a backdrop of a derelict building, graffiti wall or similar makes the car stand out more. Also makes for more stunning photos :thumbsup:
