Ah, thanks mate! Don't know whose the R was - it was parked up at the Oulton Park Gold Cup and my son insisted on a cheeky photo.Zyp's new wheels look good and I think the black ones look better in real life than on an average iPhone picture but I'm quite happy with my silver ones even if they do take a bit of cleaning.
As for the roof jibes...
Sorry rOb, can't help you with that.
There were some astonishing contract hire deals on M5s recently, have to say I was quite tempted as my daily driver is a 2006 525i. If there was ever a 2 cars into 1 solution, it is an attractive proposition but I'm hoping to hang on to my Spyder for a while now. I particularly enjoy the contrast too.

Congratulations - it's good to get excited about a new toy at Christmas time! Mine will be 8 years old in a few months and on so many levels it is the best car I have ever had. It has only had routine servicing and tyres and is still on its original brakes. Straight 6 BMW petrol engine is completely old fashioned these days but so refined.
Been out in mine today. New windscreen fitted. Stone chip had developed a crack which was growing. Nice job done by Autoglass which was a good job given that my OPC wouldn't help.
New one is unmarked and lurvely.
BMW was a grower. Tens of thousands of trouble free miles from minus 14 degrees on the school run a couple of years ago to 145mph on the German autobahnen. It just works, generally very quietly and does everything asked of it without any problems.

They are certainly better value lightly used - mine was an approved used car from its original supplying dealer with 5000 miles on it when I bought it.
It has never had winter tyres on it and I have never been stranded. It does only have relatively small wheels though.
Let us know how you get on with the M5 - I bet you'll miss your Spyder when the sun comes out.
