Mineral gray comes up a treat when treated like that. Well done. And enjoy.

Try SNH as already suggested (DoDo Juice Super Natural Hybrid), it's an amazing wax and the SNHN is even better. Supernatural Hybrid Nano. Extra synthetic buts that make it last up to 7months. Shine and beading are great!

Also DoDo Purple Haze Pro brings out the purples in MG...

where's the classic bmw orange peel?

Very nice colour combination, and you have done a fine job on the paintwork. 320i is under-rated and is a fine car.

[stefan4]

Great car, as others have said the 320I is an overlooked engine. I had 3 happy years with mine, until I got corrupted by this forum and ordered a 340i.

The last few days in the 320I were the best, stick it sport+, get on the paddles and NAIL IT and the engines seems to really respond.

Hi mate. I too am a 320i owner and am very happy with it. The 320i gets slated by some members on here (a few 335i/340i owners) but who cares. Some of us are on a budget.
I've done one mod and thats changed the rear back box to a 328i twin pipe. Looks how it should be.
Enjoy your new car.

[Hartside]

Another happy 320i owner here also

[Chris330]

Congrats - great choice and colour! Impressed with the Detail, sets it off a treat.

Lovely looking motor. MG when treated looks stunning in the sun and highlights the purple. Obviously biased as well!

[FSE23]

Congratulation, MG looks great, I really likes that color.
One thing makes me puzzled - why some people buy a flashy new car to drive just 5k miles per year and than get rid of the car in year 3.

Looks great! We really like the N20 motor, it pulls well and has a nice offbeat exhaust note from the twin scroll turbo. The shorter and lighter motor, compared to the six, also makes it handle more sweetly.

Some springs and spacers would make it sit even better

I have a 320i LCI and it came with twin chrome exhausts.

Still there...

But a machine polish and a good wax hide it under the shine.

Why not?

Also define flashy?

Hi Jason, your car looks fantastic. One word of warning the Meguiars Gold Class shampoo will cause your door seals to creak.

I simply wipe them over with some WD40 sprayed on a cloth and that keeps them quiet for a couple of weeks.

[teaston]

Very nice! I might get MG or silver next time, Black is a bitch to keep clean!

[F36420I]

Nice car!!!
I confirm that black color is a bitch to keep clean myne is carbon black its even worse but I love this color with the "caméléon" effect :-D

[elstoof]

Mineral Grey is great, current 125 is MG so feel like I should probably change for the next but basically I don't like any other BMW colour as much.

I sure did, about 6 hours worth but all worth it in the end the wheels had a full face and inside clean.....these should come with a health warning though as I've cut and brused hand to bits

My rear diffuser only came with a gap for a single tailpipe which is chrome tipped anyway so that's fine but would like a twin pipe as they do look cool.

Thanks for the tip, didn't have any issues with my Focus so I'll keep a listen out for creaking.

Tell me about it, my Focus was black and looked stunning when it was clean then after a few hours looked dirty again.


Thanks again guys for all the nice comments

[dopper99]

Looks fantastic and you've done a great job with that.

As mentioned above regarding creaking door rubbers, be careful what you put on BMWs. You can get away with certain products on other cars but BMWs are notorious for being problematic for creaking door seals with the wrong cleaning products ........... and you wont get rid of the creaking (not permanently).

Its about time BMW got this sorted out.

[simon the pieman]

Yes you have to replace the diffuser too

[Shaleshifter]

Very nice.
