I've had her a couple of months now so thought I'd stick a few pics up.
I traded in a Z4M for this so its a bit of a culture shock but overall really impressed. First time I've ever bought a diesel or an automatic, actually loving the auto as I hated the Z4's gearbox. Mid range ooomph with all that torque is superb its just a pity it sounds like a tractor around town.
Not sure about getting it remapped, I find myself going too fast as it is as its so refined at high speed!
Hope you like!

I like the mods you have made, some people may not like the small rear number plate but IMO it suits the car. Any engine upgrades?

Very Nice! thumbup

It's lovely!

Though it's probably not best suited to off road tongue out

I had the z4 for a year and needed something a bit more practical, also got offered a good trade in against this.
I'm not a drug dealer!, I like the stealth look. It actually attracts a lot more attention than the Z4 and I dont get the constant jibes from my friends about my sexuality!

I love these especially on those wheels but I'm sorry, not liking them in black or the silly small plate which just looks lost on it.

These mods make it look like a 520 "done up" to the higher spec imo.

Yep, that plate is completely legal. You need 11mm of backing colour between the edge of the letters and the edge of the plate IIRC.

Very nice, I really like the colour, tints and wheels. Rear plate not to my taste but each to their own.

What is the official name for the colour and what style number are the wheels?
