Yours will have the posh seats and the bigger screen for the iDrive, and probably some carbon too I think? Mine actually doesn't have the carbon, although I wanted it at first, but mine has piano black which I think suits the silverstone leather better as it's a little more classy. I do keep having a wee look on eBay at the carbon trim, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glrnet Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Lovely lump, drab looking car IMHO but the I don't like the looks of BMWs much anyway. Looking forward to see what you do with it though.

Definitely a Marmite car, and definitely the worst colour in the history of the world. Part of me would like to go mental and chuck neon orange wheels on it or even better throw some motorsport decals at it, but aside from the M colour scheme (which would be a huge no-no on an non-M car!), I don't really think there's much else out there. Although BM's pic looks like it could be fun in the real world 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Love these,great car for the money, and you even found a manual, great choice. I quite like the fan blade type wheels you can get on these, but M6 wheels are tasty. Interesting to see its not a total barge, which is what i expected. Bet with a few choice mods it will be a decent handler. Any plans for a LSD in it at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Nah, doesn't really feel like it needs one really. The long wheelbase helps of course, but I doubt I'll be throwing it around too much as I've the MR2 for that. I very much doubt I'll change the wheels, even though they're fugly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I didn't know these came with a manual box. Nice buy I was tempted by one a few months back when I bought the e46. Decided to save some cash and go for the cheaper option I quite like the marmite looks but would only have it in black with the chunky 7 spoke wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilMH Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 These are very tempting for the money Ended up with the XK8 instead but could just as easily have been a 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I'll rephrase ......the much maligned 6 series is my only acceptable BMW. I just can't get excited by any of the others. It's not about driving them, how they look, how reliable they are, what they do......it's just something genetic that makes me go 'meh' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
