Ah right, yes thats nice, I cant help thinking my car looks more imature, the burnt orange is much more sedate looking, probably why my wife thinks the boy racer in me is coming out, at 58 its too late for a mid life crysis.

Seen that quite a while back, listed back in October. That did interest me but ended up wanting a 440i instead (which I'm still searching for with the right spec).

That explains why they dropped 500 off the price before I looked at it. I got too impatient waiting for one with everything I think I need, figured I could be dead before that happens and I don't have a nice car to drive while I'm waiting.

Yeah, it’s had a few price drops since then. In the same boat but I’d rather wait it out with the spec I want rather than settle for one which I won’t be happy about 🤣

Do you have to tie it down when it's clean to stop it escaping then...

Well spotted Alscoob ! I was wondering if anyone would comment 🤣

Needed to drag the toy out of the garage to clean that afterwards. It’s not running at the moment, so needed a helping hand 😜

Finally got round to having Front Splitter and Side Skirt Extensions fitted to my 340

And a much needed clean!

Loving the car now I’ve added some bits.

Nice to see you're looking after it

I had considered doing that when I had it, but having had the front splitter on the previous F31 & that had the verticals painted to match the car I found not only did is scrape a lot but the painted finish had a lot of road rash, so decided not to.

Does look good though, be slow over those humps

Of course Hope the 5 series is treating you well and you’re still enjoying it?

Prefer the OEM Matt finish, this held up well on my previous F30. Tbh i was concerned with the ride hight although the ACS suspension isn’t mega low and touch wood appears to be fine driving slowly over speed bumps.

All the best.
