Yep my mistake Gaz, I meant 19’s, been on the Porsche configurator too long again....
Hope you have gone for 20’s on the 718?
Personally the classic Carrera 20” is my favourite
Looks awesome
Had them on the 981 and they don’t float my boat tbh Gaz. As yet u decided on Agate grey with matte black 20’s standard on the GTS or metallic black with 20” 911 wheels.

remember me a 914-916
went to look at one today at in my local dealer.
honestly it's the ugliest car that BMW now sell - and that's saying something. I'd say over half of the cars BMW now make look like a total dogs dinner. Shame, would love to have wanted an M version of it but even if it came out i wouldn't be buying one.
Best looking car is probably the 8 series, they had a nice murdered out one in the showroom, £82k for 840d though - seems like a lot of money for what is essentially a 6 series facelift. The fact it was already discounted on the window sticker in the showroom suggests how well they're selling...

Off topic but I do not understand why people keep saying this! The new 8-series is completely unrelated to the old 6-series. It's sat on the latest CLAR platform with all the newest electronics. The only thing it has in common with the old 6-series is it's size, but it's definitely a lot more than just a facelift.
It is like saying the E85 Z4 is just a facelift of the Z3 :roll:

I can help you understand:
They have stopped selling the 6 series as a sports GT, and started selling the 8 series as a sports GT. The 8 series is the latest design language of BMW, shares the 2+2 setup the 6 had, is similar in size/luxury/practicality/engines but hugely increased in price. I don't mean facelift as in 'tweaked headlights' - i mean - it's the new 6 series, but ££++++. No idea who's going to buy a 3l diesel 6 series replacement for >£85k. i might consider the 850i if it was <80k.
