Picked her up on Saturday and I'm really please thus far, particularly with the Sports box, really responsive and very smooth, a few pics below.

I got the dealer to do a few of the usual bits as you can see: Performance Grill and Spoiler, Replace front indicators and Fogs, tint rear reflectors.

Nice. +1 on the mineral gray.

venkata · 03-18-2013, 05:16 AM

Very Nice. And yes the Gearbox is Brilliant!

Great looking. What's the rear reflector tint? What fogs did them put in?

sdb123 · 03-18-2013, 02:37 PM

Was it Wollaston BMW where you got your car from?

How do you find the auto box with the 2 litre engine? Had you driven the manual version prior to ordering?

SomeRandomer123 · 03-18-2013, 04:36 PM

Looks fab!

RichardM · 03-18-2013, 05:20 PM

Looks great. I really need to clean mine to get it looking like that again!

derekh929 · 03-18-2013, 05:21 PM

Looking very sharp with the black Grill and rear spoiler

Dannyb21 · 03-19-2013, 04:31 AM

Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback, I have to say I'm really enjoying the driving and getting to know the auto box.

To answer any questions. The Indicators are Phillips silvervision, and the fogs are GP Thunders, and yes it cam from Wollaston.

I am finding the auto and 2.0D a very smooth ride, with more than enough poke when needed, I'm finding it quite addictive to be booting her down a gear.

Zero71 · 03-19-2013, 05:21 AM

Very nice. Makes me want my car all the more. Enjoy.

Looking at you pics I still can't decide on Grey or Blue!!!!!!

I have grey and think I would go with EBII if I ordered again!

ZigmundUK · 03-25-2013, 11:07 AM

I guess the main thing is mineral grey, although a great colour, has been around for ages and can come in any of the trims. EB is quite exclusive and therefore hopefully should be fewer of them around.

Saying that - go with the colour that makes you feel the best. It's a personal thing and although people may compliment or not, that's irrelevant really - get it for you!

I'm pleased I went with EB11

Dannyb21 · 03-25-2013, 11:47 AM

I think MG could be the new EBII! Although hopefully not quite so common

Chris Peacock · 03-25-2013, 04:23 PM

That looks stunning....wife wanted me to get MG but I went for the EBII...wondering if I have made a mistake now.

Certainly wont be showing her your pics that's for sure!

Trust me. IMO While MG is a lovely colour, EB2 is just stunning and stands out from all the other cars (in a good way

)

You will not be disappointed.

HiBee · 03-25-2013, 05:28 PM

My family & mates out voted me on my choice of colour.
Originally set my heart on Melbourne Red.
The more pictures i saw of the EB & plus the exclusivity for the M Sport i soon agreed.

Maybe, MR next time in the F32.

MRPoisson · 03-26-2013, 06:51 AM

MG all the way - Leave Chav-storill Blue to the 1er..........
