Good luck! i was told 10 weeks originally but delayed for the m-sport and the extras with the new combox... I would have loved an engine like the 550 but my 520 does me, any faster than 0-60 in 8 seconds and the wife moans at me anyway :-)

Nice 10 weeks takes me too 20th december, I am away on the 24th december for two weeks, hope it's sooner than that.
Yea the 550i should be quick, I am coming from the E90 M3 so may be a slight come down but not much

I do like the M3 ALOT but the F10 looks great... my wife says it looks like a shark, my mother said it looks too agressive, looks like it wants to rip your face off and might at any minute... thats the look i like :-)

Hey Lukeswarm

What a lovely car you have

Are those rims painted black straight from the dealer? I want to paint mine with the grey color if possible. I have to check with my dealer

If I was living in the UK, then yeah . Thanks for the heads-up though

Btw, I spoke to a friend who told me that he ordered his E92 M3 matt black and gloss black rims straight from the dealer, I'm thinking I should do the same, but gunmetal metal rims on sparkling graphite 550i M-sport. I think it'll look

Thanks, i have it booked in for a quad exhaust in Jan... I have had to wait for them to start producing black tips as i want them to stay like MSport stock (i know there is no quad but you know what i mean... hopefully) I also did have a black vinal roof for all of 45 mins but i didn't like it, i think you would have to wrap the pillars as well... not sure, just didn't look quite right (might have got used to it :-) )

Yea, they do that as a option on the E90+ its called the blackout pack, it was advertised when i picked mine up. It was black wheels, carbon spoiler and black grills

I will have a look, i was shocked they were not Conti's when i picked it up.

After 1100 miles i love the car, even though i have had some annoying very minor issues with it

Looks great.

Even better without the chrome parts on the door handles imo. Good choice.
Did you have to skip ambiant lightning ?

Dilemma !

Ordering my 520d M Sport Sport Auto tomorrow. Decided on white for ages but my wife is moaning. Should I go for Black with Black Grille Option, White with Black Grille Option or White with Standard Grille ?? (19'' Wheels, Spoiler etc Sorted). Also it appears ambient lighting not great, but I want the exterior handles to ligt up like my current 3 series. Will I need this option to get it ? .

Looks fab! May I ask

1) What colour is the interior?

2) Did you think about a carbon fibre rear spoiler to go with the whole black and white look?

3) What did you mean when you said you had vinyl roof wrap for 45 minutes? Did you start to have it done and then stop?

Thanks
