There's a metallic green (Sanremo) on the auto and frozen deep green on the manual, have you seen both?
[/quote]Just the Sanremo which at first you think it may be a bit dark but in the sunlight with the Cognac seats it does look a good combo.
I may be a little bias as one of my favourite cars was a limited edition Mazda 323 with the same colour combo and a V6 Xedos engine. It was one of the last 500 made and I sold it after 3 years for more than I paid for it.

Test drive completed
Absolutely love the drive … just need to make a few decisions… colour… etc … and if to keep the e89 until spring… but definitely will be getting one… it may not be as soon as I’d like, but I will have one considering it was raining, roof up , some traffic… wrong colour ( for me )
I still came away wanting that car … you can FEEL the potential…. Beautiful, just beautiful

Excellent news, colour and spec important.
What’s maybe not so good, but hopefully helpful, is that a lot of these cars are very poorly spec’d. I was given 2 reasons, customers spec’d cars then pulled out of the deal at a point where the dealership is committed to taking/buying the car so the dealer was allowed to pull all packs bar 1, they normally left the comfort pack as it’s the cheapest. Second was that a lot of these cars were leased and any additional packs had to be paid up front.
This is the explanation I was given when originally looking for a pre-reg car and the specs available on the ones for sale at that time were very poor.
Anyway glad you like it and hopefully what you’re looking for will be available
Out of interest, what’s your preferred colour?

Glad you enjoyed it, if you go into a test drive with a some negativity, whatever the car is you won't like it. If you're looking forward to the drive or have an open mind the G29 will win you over and the M40i just puts a big grin on your face with all that shove.

agree … it’s more difficult than I thought, to find the colour combination with the right amount of packs .Argyll Andy said:Excellent news, colour and spec important.

I should have said ( the wrong interior colour for me )
I looked at one in red ( with black interior) I’d much prefer ivory, or red , if it’s a red car … exterior colour….i can’t honestly make up my mind between red or blue… think they are both stunning… so , when the time comes, it will be all about which one of those colours comes up with the most toys … I’m in no hurry, probably keeping the e89 until spring /summer , have to set a few personal things in motion first… half the fun is the buildup…. Last week there was a little doubt looming, having driven one, although not in ideal situation…I’m completely hooked … it just feels ( right )

I get where you are coming from. You are where I was around 2 years ago. I wanted a blue or red car with an ivory interior. I had spreadsheets of options, I was adding weighting to option combinations. But eventually I chucked all that away and distilled it to I want a wind deflector, heated steering wheel and HUD, so Tech and Comfort packs. And then I saw a white car with magma interior. I never wanted a white car, but it looked so damn fine, and then the price moved down by 7%. I had it on my drive 48 hours later !Dave 2 dogs said:agree … it’s more difficult than I thought, to find the colour combination with the right amount of packs .Argyll Andy said:Excellent news, colour and spec important.

M40s don’t stay for sale long so compromising on spec is needed, 3 I enquired about had already gone, my choice was not black with tech pack because the HUD is brilliant, which makes up for the awful dash display, it would have been nice to get the comfort pack as well.

Magma interior sounds amazing and looks unreal in the videos… I’ve been perving over a white car for a while . But think I’d enjoy detailing the blue or red more…
This could take some time yet ,because of things I have to deal with first. But it’s definitely gonna happen.

I went for magma when speccing mine. Personally love it again skyscraper grey. I’ve found the grey really shows off the shape due to all the shadows it creates. I only added comfort pack as I don't really listen to music anymore. The only thing I wish I’d specced was the reverse camera. For some reason I struggle to park it straight.
I’m doing 20k a year as a daily drive and it’s been perfect and never tiresome.
Enjoy the journey. There amazing cars.

skyscraper grey is a nice colourAndyG2940 said:
My friend has an m4 in that colour
How does it come up when it’s waxed ? Probably opened a can of worms here, I know a lot of people have gone for ceramic coating, but I enjoy detailing my car just as much as driving it … could you pop up a picture of the seats with that colour paint combo please?
I don’t think I would be in a position to order new , so don’t have the option of choosing my own palette… but I’d love to see what that looks like

right now, if I had the option and funds, I’d go red paint metallic, red seats with shadowline plus and a few more on packs if they were availableNanu said:
Want HUD and a few more toys … good point above… I don’t listen to the radio I’m mine either… too busy listening to the exhaust note … I’ve heard the M40i exhaust doesn’t disappoint? Because it was raining on Saturday, I didn’t get to play as much as I would have liked on the TD

Thanks for those
Looks amazing with the red seats . Was a bit concerned about the light bouncing off it in that colour. But plenty of depth in the reflection in those pics , especially the one with the roof up , that’s given me another colour option. So , thanks for that …. I’d already looked at a couple in that paint option but wasn’t sure… this has helped with that
