More pics of the M2, what colour is that?
Cheers bud... It's Hockenheim Silver.

Will get some more pics up this weekend if the weather is good and I can give it a wash... hopefully.

In hindsight, I should've got it in black or the other new colour (Sunset Orange i think)... seems pretty much everyone is getting the Hockenheim. When i picked this up in September, the dealer had just got their demo car in Sunset and it looked immense.

Now the next question is, what tasteful mods will i go for... Exhaust isn't cutting it, far too quiet (i had an e90 M3 a few cars ago), so i'm thinking Supersprint. Then there's the Schnitzer remap to 500, which is appealing cause it doesn't spunk your warranty.

Love the Alpinas. The rarity and colour trims have always appealed to me and I remember the amazing sounding e30s 6 cylinders with alpina exhaust, they were incredible.

That is gorgeous - I wish someone had specced my E39 in that colour...

Your wheels win though. The thought of cleaning them is making me sweat right enough!

Had this one for approx. 6 mths. First car we've ever had to reject. Top marks to the dealer though, they handled the whole process very professionally. Full refund and they also covered the cost incurred for plate transfers, fuel etc. Shame, was a pretty car with a lovely spec

If you don’t mind me asking, why did you have to reject it, and what did you have instead?

Would I have seen this driving through the centre of Manchester not so long ago? If not it has a double, hard not to forget that colour on a rain soaked central Manchester.

Loud knocking/grinding coming from front nearside. Main dealer replaced several parts until the whole suspension (both sides) was new. Puma updates, torque settings checked. Master tech came from BMW. Noise still there! Fine when raised in the air but as soon as the car was on the ground it came back. Loud as well. Pedestrians turning around to see what was making the racket. Think it was in for about 6 weeks in the end. Had everyone scratching their heads. Had about 2000 miles on it when we bought it. Dealer handled it well though. Was bought for the wife as a weekender, she wasn't too fussed when it went back due to the weather so not replaced yet. Will get something before the summer arrives I expect, poss another M4CP or a slightly older R8. She likes both.

Show me your BMW....I'm sure it qualifies as a BMW.

It's my 2016, F56 fully loaded John Cooper Works, with JCW PRO kit as it came from the dealership all tweaks and mods done before 1st registration by BMW dealership as it was to be their show car or demonstrator so insurance class it as a standard car which means I'm allowed to change it back to as it was when it left BMW factory or keep it as it is now as it left the showroom from new, change anything outside of these parameters would then take it into a modified car.

JCW PRO AEROKIT +
Includes add-ons for front splitters, rear splitters, carbon mirror covers, and air intake, (rear spoiler tips and rear diffuser- painted Chili red).

JCW PRO S/S EXHAUST, and CARBON Tips
Make way for some goosebumps. The JCW Pro Exhaust silencer valve system (Bluetooth 4.0 remote controlled) comes with two modes: 'Sport' Road use, flap closed on second pipe, hit controller push button twice flap opens 'Race' track use only.

JCW PRO SPORTS SUSPENSION
It yields noticeably better road holding, very high stability, and perfect handling. For the ultimate go-kart feel - currently set to 50% all round midpoint to help with the potholes in and around the Sussex coast.

18" BMW Mini 506 cross spoke wheels with 205/40/18 P7 run-flats, having to run them a little lower on pressure as they are as hard as nails when inflated as per spec.

And yes sure it puts a smile on my face every day as long as I can avoid the Sussex potholes.
