West coast Scotland just North of Oban
Colour is Champagne Gold apparently, wasn't keen on it but you're not the first to comment on it.
Could do with a respray to tidy a few areas up but local bodyshop not keen to tackle fibreglass.

Beautiful! How did it drive?

I've got the same colour on mine, I think it's lovely - helps balance out some of the aggressive styling with something a bit more classic.

Mark/Ziga - are you doing more leatherwork at the moment? I have a lot of VERY tired leather I need to replace.

Well 6 years since being on the road and a total body off and chassis rebuild (by others) and I only took it a mile or so up the road BUT:

It felt quite taut on the fully polybushed suspension, new shocks and springs. So much better than the 350i I had 6 or so years ago and possibly tighter than the Chimaera I sold in March. Steering felt more connected than the PAS of the Chimaera. Haven't worked out how the brakes work yet, is the middle pedal supposed to do much.
