Better than new?

Beautiful day, so washed, clay mitt, polished and supra resin sealed the 340 for the winter. It looks amazing in the autumn sunshine. 😎
It's now 29 months old, 21k mileage and apart from a few very minor stone chips it's better than when it rolled out the factory.
In sport mode it feels faster and louder than ever, in May 2019 the dealer is going to have to blow my socks of with an amazing deal on a X3 M340 or 5 series 540 or it's a keeper. #justsaying

That looks fantastic. I always think the same of mine (25 months old) when clean, but I've never done such a great job on it as you have!

Enjoy it, a clean car always runs better the feelgood factor adds performance and refinement.

Lovely picture...it sounds like the B58 matures like a fine claret and that's fine by me. I'm hoping I've found found my 'keeper'.

car looks great, I've just gave mine a bit of autumn prep treatment. Not quite as extensive as yours mind, good clean and a fresh coating of wax. Love the car especially when it's looking so fresh, it's definitely a keeper this one

Where's this then? The local Polish pitstop, where 6 hard working individuals can clean you car in precisely 4 minutes using a rusty wash mitt and a few extra pieces of grit thrown in for free?
I must admit, I struggle to see the problem with taking a wash mitt straight from one cars dirty alloys, straight onto my bonnet...
