So after almost eight months of ownership here I am finally writing my introduction to the forum and saying hello. Some of you may recognise my new pride and joy as it’s no stranger to the forum, having bought it off a forum-regular back in January.
Coming from a remapped 120d it is a complete different kettle of fish, and can honestly say I have cherished every single one of the 6,000 miles covered so far.
I've done very little to the car during my ownership, the main reason being that all the mods done by the previous owner were spot on in my opinion. And my plans for the future are just as uninteresting; getting rid of the god-awful run flats when the tyre tread gets low enough to justify doing so. I keep looking at induction kits and exhausts but realise the performance gains are minimal, and since doing the sound generator mod I’m more than happy with the vehicle’s soundtrack so this is probably a no-go with my fists being as tight as they are.
It has all the toys I believe (cue the sound of gunshots) – electric adjusted seats, foldy-in mirrors, parking sensors, xenon headlights, voice control, satellite navigation, cruise control etc etc.
I taken the car to Spring Cleaning up in Northumberland last month and had it in the display section where it gained quite a bit of attention even when parked next to a M3. There’s also a potential European road-trip (inc. Nurburgring) on the cards for next summer.
I suppose I better give you a bit of background on myself since this is an introduction after all; I’m a crane maintenance technician and self-confessed car geek, I like football, I like beer, I like girls… and other things that most 22 year-old lads tend to like.
Oh and a word of warning, if I end up using this forum half as much as I did the last you guys will soon get sick of me!
Adios for now

By the seaside...
I take it there's a bit of friendly banter between coupe and roadster owners on here then?
