First proper clean

[ronk]

Ive just had my 335 detailed in a little over five years. The local car wash bods and washes at BMW dealer service had given the Tanzanite blue the swirls I didn't want. The fella has done a full machine polish and wax, Interior, Glass, wheels for £90

It feels and smells like a new car again

You know we will want pics

 

[Ole gits rule]

He knows we need pics and £90 seems quite reasonable

Its only the 335xd ! - I am going to get the Z done soon tho' - It's only ever had the dealer prep and an odd wax from new so it deserves a new coat of polish - Not that it has been neglected you understand - It is stored in a nice dry garage covered in two king sized cotton sheets thro the winter and overnight and only comes out April to October.

I thought £90 was ok as well. He didn't do under the bonnet but maybe Im expecting too much One thing for certain is that all the local hand car wash swirls have now gone - they were embarrassing in the sunshine.

That's actually quite a long time for a detail. I did mine over 3 days and thought that was a long time.

Tanzanite blue is a lovely colour when sparkly and swirl free.
I’d say £90.00 is a very good price.

These are the pictures that the detailer posted on his social media pages.

I‘m very pleased with the results - the car isn’t going to the local car wash bods again.

Looks cracking Ron, the colour shows off its new sheen very well

 

[ronk]

I have to say that this is the first car I’ve ever had professionally detailed - it won’t be last
I think I will have both cars done each year from now on.
The Z will probably be done before hibernation? Or should It be when it comes out I springtime?

With the money you’ve got under the mattress, both :wink:

Maybe If I try and curtail her spending on new clothes I might agree

You will be selling that 35iS before that happens

Don't get me started on that plan -I've had too many sleepless night!

I must be lucky she does not care what I drive, her car is 4 x the cost of my zed so she really cant say jack to me about the ZED - the only thing I get is that its a posh car to which she gets the and your s cost 4 times more so what the hell you on about.

She won't drive it either so its bloody great

My wife doesn’t care about my cars either! It’s my own indecision that keeps me awake wondering if I should trade up or not.

Mine won’t drive the Z either.

Now you know that the G29 is a great car and values on 35iS are strong so if you are going to do it now is the time - mind its still a great car if decide to keep it.

Yeah its the long bonnet and arse on the floor feeling

 

[ronk]

I‘ve just asked mine why she won’t drive ii and she says that she agrees, the long bonnet and arse on the floor! She’s happy enough as a passenger - unless I’m on the Autobahn

I’ve still got the idea of a G29 going around in my head - I would need a full specced up M40i a my current car has all the toys available at the time. I haven’t been on the BMW page for a while but I suspect circa £52k less my cars residual £‘s

It rained on the freshly waxed car last night and it was good to see the beading on the roof!

 

[Ole gits rule]

yep - she wants t drive something high up or a little higher up - she is quite happy as a passenger though.

Thats the issue £52k all up is a fair chunk and it is it any better than your car in reality?

 

[ronk]

That’s the crux of it !
And having to spend a chunk of £’s - but there again this life is not a dress rehearsal is if?
