Well what a find this forum is! Been on for about a week now having a browse so thought id write a quick post.

After selling my E46 M3 back in summer and having saved up for quite a while i thought id take the plunge for my 25th Birthday in September, picking it up on the day made it the best birthday ever!

I decided to go for a 4.7 in Morning Frost white. I bought the car at what i think is an absolute steal as it needed a couple of little bits sorting (wheels re-diamond cutting, tyres & rear bumper re-painting)

It's already had the N420 side skirts & N400 Wheels put on by the previous owner and im in the process of installing a V12 Carbon front bumper this week.
Future plans include an exhaust & performance cats (undecided what brand yet)

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone!

Here's a few (terrible) pictures. With getting the bits sorted and it being winter ive not really driven it much yet. Spring needs to hurry up! Luckily Bridge mill motors is 10 mins away so its getting booked in there for a service next month.

Seriously, when the sun's out it's an awesome colour. I think the same about Ceramic Grey too........can look a bit flat in winter or when it's dirty, but as soon as it's polished and the sun's out.........different story.

Lovely Vantage, congrats smile Morning Frost is a great colour, but photos just don’t show the lovely pearlescent effect that you see in the flesh.
