Hi all, just bought a 197 yesterday, iv had a couple of 172s in the past along with a lot of bmws, my last bmw before this was a 530d m sport, being 22 my insurance was nuts and it cost a bomb to run and maintain, so with that and wanting to buy my own house with my missus I decided to downgrade to a 197 and I am loving it so far, given it a quick wash and my it my own a little bit today and here she is, look forward to talking to you all

Has it got Recaros

Going by the shape of what appear to be headrests, I'm guessing no. But I could be wrong.


Looks good dude, I do love a lovely red car, they shine up perfectly. Stick around, some really useful info on here. Well worth the £12.00 membership fee.

Couple more snaps from today, painted the calipers red as they were looking a bit old and I also had rusty nuts so painted them gloss black

 

[197LukeRs]

I'll get some pics up of the calipers tomorrow

Best colour IMO for the 197.
