I took delivery of my new F30 320ed in Mineral White back in July, haven't got round to posting pics until now:





Not as quick as some on here, but it's my first BMW after dreaming of one since the age of 5 and I love it!

ETA: Apologies for the quality of the photos.

Congrats on the f30. Fortunately I never dreamt of a BMW and just happened on a 120d as a car that fit the requirements of he time. Fell in love with the brand.

I'm really impressed with the mpg on that 550i. My Audi-version-of-the-r32 only gives low 20s on average and that's a 3.2 on an arguably lighter car. S'pose awd and dsg doesn't spare the fuel...

8 weeks an counting to the f31...

Just fitted a new rear window to the car yesterday with the help of a mate (tried it on my own, but should have not bothered), a new exhaust the other day and dechromed the headlight surrounds ( the part behind the lenses was chromed). Bugger me if a bit of contact adhesive that was smeared onto the inside of the screen hasn't etched into the plastic...I thought I'd leave it for a few minutes and remove it with some panel-wipe, now I think I'll have to cue-tip some clearcoat into the etch and buff it out again.
Doing the alignment tomorrow. Hardly even driven the damn thing yet! Here's hoping for some sunshine.......

Thanks, wasn't sure of the front end treatment at first but now just love the agression of it.

Thanks for the congrats, I think my love of BMW comes from the fact although my old man was a dyed in the wool Ford man, he had a couple of mates who had flat 6 BMWs and I just loved the look of them and the way they sounded, his mate's E28 528i especially was an epic car to me when I was about ten. Plus my Dad himself lusted after but never owned an E24 at the time. Plus just after I left school I was friends with a couple of guys who both owned E30 325is (one MSport, one non).

You have to be on Pistonheads to get this sort of comment - most people take a short gasp when you say 25mpg! ... but in reality they are probably ragging a 1.6 around to get it moving even slightly briskly and only getting a combined 32mpg!

That M3 is beautiful!

That is gorgeous. Nicest combination of colour, wheels, interior I've seen on an M3. bow

Here's a few better pics I took today after Renovo'ing the roof and fitting the new rear window. New rear springs tomorrow.
