Spend 3 days doing mine before the bad weather, certainly helps keep it clean! Really satisfying to get it spot on when you can.

Not sure what colour to go on mine - had it a month now and they need refurbing, thinking black or a dark grey. Have now got black mperformance grills but it’s filthy so no photos.

looking good. I'll take some better pics to try and show the grey colour.

I'll defo be changing to gloss black alloys though. Loved them on my old Leon FR which was grey motor too.

Edit for pic with grey wheels !!

Yes BMW that as big as a grille needs to be.
The more new models come out the more I realise my F31 340 is a keeper.

Just snow foamed, washed, dried then used some CarPlan CSG600 No1 Super Gloss. Seems to come up quite nicely...

What's your current mileage?

I have a 2014 with just a smidge over 18k on it. I bought it exactly 5 years old to the month with 16.5k on, just over 3k a year it had done.

Something nice about a low mileage car that makes you feel good about it. Even though some can be in the same condition as a car that has done 4x that.
