Hello John and welcome to the forum, that’s a very nice looking e85 you have in a great colour. Bonus point for the photos as well

Hi and welcome to the forum John - that's a lovely colour combination.

[Neens76]

My first Zed was that colour.

Hello and welcome, as everyone else has mentioned Merlot is a lovely colour, shame BMW no longer offer such a broad colour palate these days

That's a lovely motor you've found. The colour is great and I have to say that although they are considered a bit small and naff by the '19" is everything' brigade, I do like those wheels. Kept clean and shiny they suit your car well.

(Of course, if you had been prepared to travel further and spend more then you'd have had something far nicer. )

Ah ha! An experienced Merlot owner?
Something I've always wanted to know...................do you have to take the top off and leave it to breathe for a while to get the best from it.
