Remember the BMW was detailed straight from new hence the orange peel was less. Also, EBII shows up orange peel much less. Non-detailed BMWs are pretty bad.
Anyway, SkyJawa, thanks for avidly reading my posts and being so pedantic. Bless.

Good to read a warts and all review though-keep it coming.
Looking on Pistonheads,there seems to be a few links to issues with dsg gremlins and engines going pop.Some of this may be as a result of "owners" not treating their cars with any respect,as they will be handing them back. However,I'll be interested in how the R lasts as a long term runner.I think that there will be a lot of second hand dogs! I'm still waiting for the R estate to see how it compares against an F31 335. |

Good to hear some more balanced feedback.
Doesn't matter what the car is there is always going to be something either not quite right or that could be improved, or that another car does better. Not sure I understand the obsession with orange peel paintwork on a car that's being leased for 2 years though. It will still look great when detailed!

I think the R will last well, mechanically at least. Choosing a flat red will be more of a problem according to my Detailer, who I have still to visit. Can't be bothered to tell the truth. Regarding the R Hearse, I don't think its proportions are very pleasing. Far prefer the F30 Hearse which as far as hearses go is probably the best looking of them all. One negative, the R tends to like a good drink, but only if you can it, which I have been doing at times.

I will get it detailed at some stage. I think it will look even better than it does now. Tornado Red is a very vibrant colour.
