E60 550 in its natural habitat

Really needs a proper polish but gave the car a proper clean yesterday. Still chuffed with the new bumper but really undecided how I want to mount the front plate. Few suggestions of a sticker plate but not sure. Looking further in to the car and everything is straight but likely going to give it to my bodywork guy and get the front end panels all removed and realigned or replaced. Previous owner hit a deer with the front left (I did see pictures) but never really noticed the shutlines on the passenger side, looks super obvious in photos

Looking good Rod

On blocks being repaired is the natural habitat, it just likes hanging around in petrol stations

I’d love a 235i/240i one day. The 3 litre engine in a small..ish package appeals greatly.

Looking good, stay away from Detailing World, you'll end up spending a fortune

I've had mine 5 years and it's been good as gold. Just routine servicing. How long have you had yours?

About 8 months, it’s been a good car really.
That photo was the tail end of replacing a load of brake pipes.

It’s had brake pipes and a battery in my ownership and that’s it really, oh and rear pads and sensor which I did myself because both our local dealers are shut.

[StuntmanMike]

P.S mines the same age as yours as well.

Weird seeing one that isn’t black.
It’s looking good.

Yeah I did all pads and discs last year for the MOT. I did mine outside in the street. I went with EBC Yellows. Dead easy except for buying the wrong front discs and scratching my head for an hour trying to get the caliper back on. Battery in mine is still soldiering on even though I hardly ever use the car. I dont like the sound of changing brake pipes. Hopefully mine will not need that. It even gets washed occasionally.

Yeah, that's what appealed to me initially over the competition and the 2 series over the 1 purely for the looks and rarity over the 1 series

I'd definitely opt for the LCI M240i if budget allows, not just because of the tuning capabilities but the interior improvements, digital dials, apple carplay etc

I will, I feel like I've already opened a can of worms!

I have finally succumbed to the lure of a BMW, being the last in my family to do so. Here is my soon to be collected (once we are out of lockdown) e91 325i. Would have preferred a 330i but this was the right spec and on the money. Whilst I understand its no uber - wagon compared to the 330i, it will be quick enough coming from a 1.6 Megane coupe.
Just counting the days waiting for it ......
FWIW I'm still waiting!

Those wheels fill the arches nicely! I put some BBS wheels on my F11, and in my opinion it looks so much more 'purposeful'.

They're only 17 inch. Tiny compared to current fashions.

Why have you got a "bow tie " covering the bloody number plate..? Don't you ever take the car on public roads for all to see...?
