New car coming! (now arrived!!).
- Thread starter Breaker
- Start date
and the M for my mid life crisis I like both the front and the back of the new car, but they don't seem to have put much thought into connecting them together; the side view is just a mess.PaulN said:
The indicator side plate (a Z3 homage) is a nice idea, but it doesn't stand out enough and is consequently over powered by the massive panel gap to the bonnet. And the front overhang is too long, it's like an SL and looses the wheels-on-the-corners look.
Yeah moved it now that you've spilled the beans and all that...
You got me looking too now
How've you bought yours, have you got any guaranteed residual of anything? Think I might do that next time.

No I`m not :gfight: I had to go through one of those purposely narrowed roads (with the aim of slowing traffic down through a small village) and it had a speed bump inside the narrowed section also that practically grinds sports cars to a halt (f`ing councils have no idea). I was meant to give way but as the oncoming car was some distance away I went through then hobbled over the speed bump. As it approached it was a nice new Z4 in Dark Blue ( which I thought was black first), and it did look great from the front while I was also sat low in my car. It looked quite wide and low. Gave and received the thumbs up also, even though I held them up. 
Had the large multispoke alloys on it. I agree the rear could be better but it didn`t look bad from behind as I watched it going over the speed bump in my rear view mirror.

I very rarely use the whole finance period mind. I'm contemplating the residual value insurance. Must admit I've never had it before.Wondermike said:Yeah moved it now that you've spilled the beans and all that...

LOL fed up getting humped every time on the trade in. Choose the 35i now, in two or three years time everyone wants the 40i M Sport. Buy now when discounts are small, and by the time you sell it discounts are massive and easily obtained.pvr said:
Me neither but at least it's a sure thing, just hand it back at the end.Breaker said:
No new spy pics mate. Unlikely this year I'd have thought - maybe around early Feb 2010, not sure.
TBH apart from a little bit of power, if I bought a 35i now I wouldn't be too fussed about the M Sport. Like the E92 3 series, I always liked the SE and when the M Sport came it wasn't dramatically different, and I preferred the SE 19" wheels more too.

The only exterior difference between SE and Sport on facelift E85 was the wheels. But if BMW is going to introduce M bodystyling on M Sport model for E89, then the car will be even more attractive.
A fully loaded sDrive35i, like Breaker's new car, has already got sports seats and sports suspension. The only things missing may be just a M Sports steering wheel and the M door sills.
