Newbie here too from Kent.
This is my 3rd E85 so I'm a Repeat Offender, you see!
I just never learn. Started with an '06 2.5si Which you can see here.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2-kaksN6i4
I have a 2.0 DD and have now got into a Z4M. Totally different beast. i have lusted after one for ages despite having only ever seen one in the flesh/metal on the A2. I got lucky to find the same exact one about 6 months later - Imola Red and it is gorgeous, ladies and gentlemen! I thought the 2.5 was a great car and there is just nothing that looks like these cars.
Here's mine....
