Lovely looking car but I too would remove the M badge from the grille. Infact if it was me I would take all the M Badges off but thats just personal choice as I prefer the look of the cars de-badged

+1 on lowering it a tad too. I was a little unsure about mine until I had it lowered and then I realised it needed it.

Welcome
To a fellow Cumbrian! Seems there are a few of us on the forum and will have to organise some kind of Lakeland drive! 8)

Very nice motor! +1 on the badge removal! Most people seem to think that M cars have enough badges standard! Although I do like the badges, mine was de-badged when I got mine two weeks ago but I had them put back on.

Thanks mate, yeah, thats what i thought, but dont want to compromise ride too much, plus my drives quite steep! :roll: we shall see!

On the other hand it will probably settle a bit as id just had it jacked up before the pics!

Indeed...it needs to settle...your car looks to high. It should look like my Z4M.

I also have oem Z4M suspension and 19" wheels (CSL). My plan was also to lower my car with Eibach springs. But after driving around for one year I have hit 3 driveways that were to steep for the sides of the front bumper... At one time my paint cracked. I changed my mind and until my oem rear springs break, I'm not going to fit lowering springs... I fited RPI skid plates to protect the sides and they are doing there job perfect!

Yeah, thanks for the pic Franzino, the car was jacked up for a while in the morning, had laser allignment done up the road then swapped wheels on driveway, so hadnt moved anywhere for the pics and still havent been anywhere in it yet due to weather!

The car should settle quite a bit I think, I was thinking the same as you with the springs too!

Where did you get those plates from? Fancy a set of those

Thanks for all the comments guys too, good to see there are some localish owners on here too

Looks nice, I should off the extra badges, but fitting a stubby is like docking a dog's tail, not as nature intended
