Marmite M4 Vert
Discussion
Having owned more than 1 ‘M’ over the years, i decided it was time to get another.
Some of previous...
So, being girlies 50th next week, i thought i’d treat her to a newer version of ‘M’
Now, i am a believer of NA is real M, but decided to investigate the newer version.
I shall of course be stealing it from her on a regular basis to evaluate the old man version ( Which is me) to the new tech version( Which is anyone under 35?)
Being old, i like the colour combo, youngsters seem to prefer something more ‘vivid’
I’ll probably take the 20’s off for 19’s, as UK roads and 20’s don’t mix, but regardless, this will be getting ragged throughout my tenure, probably on the way to Italy in June.
Lets see if the new M has the engineering of the old....
[Edit] i have no idea why they pic is upside down!

Wowsers, the new car looks amazing! (and the others aren't bad either!).
Anymore pics or possibly a write up on the car?
Only dealer pics at the mo, picking it up next weekend.Anymore pics or possibly a write up on the car?
It’s your everyday Vert with Comp pack and a few other bits and bobs.
Paint is BRG individual ( Not sure why it’s individual, British Leyland never called it that
)And the trim is Amaro or Amarillo Imdividual. I’ve been looking for a while and my preference was Grey with red, then this popped up and i liked the difference of it.
Someone paid 74.5k for it November last year
and since then, its done 23 miles 
I managed to get it for 50k at 3.9% which is a bit more tolerable ! Couple more pics. It will be getting an additional alarm fitted seeing as the new trend appears to be removing BMW nav units and steering wheels.
I saw a 1 series in this colour today, I think. The sky was somewhat overcast and it looked to me most like the 3rd picture in the 2nd post: dark, but still definitely green. Looked really good. Thumbs up from me for the unusual interior as well!

Now collected, and i absolutely love this colour 
Girlie is terrified of it, so i’ve just set everything to eco/comfort and sent her out to get used to it. Surprisingly supple ride in these settings.
Shall sod about with it at the weekend, not sure why they still service these at 1200 miles, but once that’s done, shall explore it properly.
All in all, a nice place to sit. Looking forward to Italy in the summer.
