Show Me Your BMW!!!!!!!!!

Spent some time cleaning my Z4M. Cleaned and treated the leather, same with the roof. Clay bar'd the body, then polished and waxed.
It's a bit rough around the edges, having 85k on it, but it comes up well, if you look at it from a distance!

almost 1 month into ownership, and really enjoying the split-personality of this car.
Comfort mode is smooth, quiet, and relaxing.
Sport+ is quick enough for anyone in real-world ground coverage.

I’ve been looking at these for a while now and think I will make the decision to buy once all this craziness is over.
Is yours a auto or manual? I was originally looking at autos due to the ace reviews but I’m concerned about the lack of engagement coming from what I’ve have/had, Subaru Impreza WRX, classics etc I also won’t be doing many miles

Looks very good. What did you use on the seats and roof? My roof needs doing, it's shiny in places.It's a bit rough around the edges, having 85k on it, but it comes up well, if you look at it from a distance!

Thanks chaps!
For the roof I used the Autoglym kit. The leather was Chemical guys leather cleaner and leather conditioner. Seats had 2 coats of the conditioner, they looked shiny to begin with but it’s all soaked in for a bit more of a matt finish. May do an other coat in a week or so.

Thanks. I think I have some Autoglym, time to tidy the garage.For the roof I used the Autoglym kit. The leather was Chemical guys leather cleaner and leather conditioner.

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

It is, as an ex Mercedes and Saab owner I'm hoping that if I take to the six-cylinder engine I may well move upwards in the power stakes with a few subtle engine upgrades, thanks for the advice.
