It's taken me 1 month to get used to the steering as it just felt really odd compared with a E46. Few tweeks at the wheel alignment place and swapped to my 18" track wheels felt much more planted.

Nice track day at Curborough sprint course just get a good feel for it. I didn't buy this car to just wash and admire at it like many owners

I decided although the aux wire already installed to oem stereo was ok only Bluetooth connection would do. I upgraded the stereo and had a bash at vinyl wrapping stereo and air vent trims.

Sold those cheap boring replica 19" CSL alloys that every bmw owner fits to there car. Fitted my other rare set of spare Genuine 19" Beyern alloys. Sorry I just don't do cheap CSL replicas even though they looked nice

Probably wasn't the best idea going drag racing with them as their slightly heavier than my 18" but was fun. My 1/4 mile was 14.7s at 96mhp. I will see later in the year if 17 or 18" makes a better time.
