My New M240i
Hi Folks!
I finally collected this beauty on the 16th August, sorry it's taken me this long to get round and share. 6MT, AW, Coral. Pretty basic in terms of options inside, budget stretched to loud speaker system, factory tints and lumbar support. I spent most of the cash on the exterior MPerformance parts from the dealership along with the 405M's which are unfortunately on the P Zero run flats. Some pictures below which are a mixture of iPhone and some I shot with my NEX5, I'm no photographer. This is how I collected her: First Wash, pre North Coast 500 drive. First Mods were CF roof wrap, Alisport Mirrors, twin resonator delete and some cheap eBay accent stickers for the kidney grille, kinda chuffed at how subtle they are. Some shots from driving around the North West coast of Scotland #NC500: I fall in love with it more with every drive! It's great to be back in a rapid motor again. I have loads more pictures too if anyone is interested.

Very sweet! I can't wait until mine arrives. I like the grill -- did it come that way? Might even go for the stripe!
Congrats and enjoy! |

Awesome, congrats. Where I worked we had plants in Dumfermerline and Dundee. I never visited but my colleagues said the scenery is spectacular. I agree. Good Luck.

What a silly question, everyone knows water spots look best on Estoril Blue ;-)

Great pix! You've blended the background with the subject. Are you in the Highlands? My wife and I were there a few years ago. Beautiful area. Roads are a bit narrow but you drive where you can.

Thanks, this was my first proper attempt at a 'car shoot' Quote:
Thank you. It seems gloss black was the more favourable roof wrap amongst the forum but after researching how easily marred it is I decided on the CF as its much more forgiving.

No, they are carbon fibre/fiber. Fitment is good but the moulds are a tiny bit uneven to eachother, most would never notice. I think I paid £72 including intercontinental delivery from China to Scotland which is a damn sight cheaper than the £550 OEM ones and took me about 45 seconds a side to install.
