Final car numbers in attendance figures will be interesting.

I'd guess nowhere near 300 as there were well over 100 spaces in the multi-storey carpark at 10.30 when I went as far up as the cars were parked

This was what i was left thinking.

I was well into the reserve list when i signed up so didn't expect to get a slot and promptly forgot about it. I recieved the email on Friday or whenever it was and thought goody, a few people must have dropped out.

But walking around the car park the "Sunday Service" element of it seemed a bit lacking... pretty quiet (some lovely cars though, Dodge Charger and red Exige cup stood out for me) I wonder how money people woke up on Sunday morning and snoozed the alarm...

Good show from BMW though and a free breakfast always goes down well! Just a shame more PH's didn't come along!

Fabulous morning. Thanks to BMW and Pistonheads.

Thanks PH for organising and BMW for the free brekkie

Got to say the new M5 didn't inspire me. The red buttons looked as tacky as the photos and the engine cover was gash tbh. At least the seats were cushy I guess.

I really liked the dark red Exige V6 Cup on the bottom floor of the multistorey - probably my pick of all the cars there.

Many thanks to PH for organising this, and special thanks to BMW for providing the venue and the great catering!

Glad I made it onto the list this time as it's only down the road for me!

Not as many supercars as sometimes, but there was plenty of variety in the car park I was in.

Great start to the day!

Just want to add my thanks to PH and BMW for another excellent Sunday Service.

Fair play to the M5 drivers - with the cars lined up in chronological order, it was as good as BMW's own display.

Thanks to PH and BMW for an excellent event. The food was great and I believe there will even have been some left over - it just kept appearing from the kitchen! Very substantial sausage baps.

The BMW staff were very welcoming and helpful and there were some interesting cars from them on display, especially their M5 lineup. Good to meet the PH staff and thanks to those who put their M5s in our own mini display area.

That's my M Roadster behind the convertible!

Thanks BMW and Pistonheads - very interesting morning.

As per a few other comments, Riviera Blue. What a colour. Just £3k odd....



Also, managed to find another Singapore Grey partner in crime. Thought it was a rare colour!

That'll be mine. Thanks :-)

I have to agree about the new M5, maybe it will grow on me.

My pick of the cars has to be the pretty little white Triumph GT6 hiding in the corner upstairs in the multi-storey.

Oooh look. Another Singapore grey one. Mine's on the right. The m5 looks great in that color

Great morning out as a BMW owner I was hoping to acquire more news on the new zed4 but didn't see many BMW staff about.

[pola bear]

Great morning! Thanks Pistonheads and to BMW for hosting! A big thanks BMW for the coffee and breakfast!

Loved that Dodge Charger!

It seemed a lot of people started leaving early so the multistory was full but by the time I came out to go look there wasn't much there.

But it was a cracking day and some properly lovely cars out on display so a massive thank you to PH & BMW for it! & Even though there are a few people who grumble before & after the effort is always appreciated for these types of days

Thanks to PH & BMW UK for laying on an awesome Sunday Service.

Nice mix of machines (with an obvious bias towards BMW's)

Great coffee & hot rolls.

I was glad I got the old M5 out after all
