Looks good. Is the rear diffuser standard?
It is on the sport plus edition which this is. Next time I was it I might take it out somewhere interesting and get some decent pics.

Such a nice looking car. Nothing wrong with black if its taken care of properly.
The putting your own car down in every thread thing gets boring after a while. It isn't a bus, or a boat and in a detailing thread no one cares about what engine it has or pcp. If you didn't bring these things up no one else would.

While normally I would agree with you, this is the exception to the rule. People would bring it up, they really would.

Looks awesome, some pics of the interior as well would be nice though!!
Only thing id change is the wheels, I prefer the pre-facelift 19's, even though they are made of cheese.

Lovely car mate, the ladies will be flocking at the sight of the beemer badge and red seats.

That's looking great! I'm getting rid of mine soon the engine was great I thought, especially on long trips. Not the best for a "fun" drive but good all the same. Fuel isn't an issue for me now so it's pretty much pointless for a "weekend car".
Yeah in 3 years Ill have a budget of about £800 a month. So might shoot for a 330i or 335i. Or 4 series...... At 24 a 335 is a bit much to run and would take up the remaining pennies I have left each month. I couldnt afford a 12 plate on a bigger engine so this is my way of driving a nice car while keeping costs down.
If I havent got sick of BMW's customer service by then.
Can I suggest you put that into a house, not a car?
It looks great but FFS stop talking about the bad points and enjoy the fecking thing.
I will be doing, that's £800 a month after I deduct my bills etc.
The night before it got detailed I was down Linconshire's back roads at 11pm. Its the first opportunity Ive had to properly open it up. I think its a good engine really, sure its not quick but its no slouch and proved enjoyable enough. Its no hatchback but surprisingly it responds well when thrown into corners at triple figures and is great in sweeping back roads. Despite the issues Ive had with it I am beginning to really enjoy it now.

Don't apologise, just enjoy the car, as per my previous posts, it's an awesome car regardless of who owns it and what it costs. If I was doing big miles like I used to for work I'd be in a 320d coop in a heartbeat, they do pretty much everything very very well - it's a car to be proud of.

I was being sarcastic. I had a 320d courtosy car for two weeks and I loved it. Felt as quick as my old 182 once you got it moving.
It looks brilliant. I really need to take the plunge and get stuck into a machine polish, black cars are a b*tch.
That's what I'm saying. Put that "extra" 800 into a house. Also, how the hell have you worked out 3 years in advance?!? I've no idea 6 months in advance!

Saloon will handle properly well mate. Black with Anthra' Wheels. You know Im right
iId rather eat my own feces than have another black car.
Grey with Red Leather or Blue with Black Leather. Here's the one I was rolling about in in 2011.
no iDrive was fail though!
