Now it's getting random..😂

Last BMW I owned - 440i GC with performance pack. Lovely looking thing, if I say it myself. Turned back to look all the time!

Previous Jap import E39 530i Sport touring (loved this car):

Campsite look back?



Parked up at Penmon:

That's lovely!

I really wanted a 440i GC (still do); just couldn't find one in budget when I was looking Dec 2022 and then settled on my F31

Typical that a few months later a few came up that ticked the boxes

You don't want to be hanging around when the tide turns up there, comes in really fast!

Don't you just love the offsets and those deep dish alloys they did back then.

Yeah; I was never a huge fan of 37s in all honesty, simply because they were done to death

They're E38 Style 37s, so 18x8 and 18x9.5; they do sit better on the E39 once bored out to fit the hub. Heavy though

Had the E39 Style 37s refurbed in Ferric Grey on my Jap import 540i and with 12mm spacers; they sat much better as they do sit in a touch too much really (this is a before pic):

Always look back on my 640D! looks perfect from any angle, in my opinion of course but im a bit biased helps being in melbourne Red

[GOF_430d]

I've always liked the look of a 6 series convertible and briefly looked at buying one

[Bianchi Dave]

Not many car park photos in here!

MINI for us today. Out for a medical appt and didn't plan on stopping in at Next, Dunelm and B&Q. Was interesting trying to load the car as there were 3 of us too

Spring decon and detail on Monday and fitted the summer wheels yesterday

Had this since new in March 2022 and absolutely love it.
It's had a REMUS exhaust fitted since these photos were taken.
Couldn't resist getting these pictures on one of those rare sunny days after the car had been freshly detailed.

I thought you had the front splitter on yours? I'm considering one, along with the MP roof spoiler. Got a pretty good deal lined up on both, but current insurer won't cover either of them so would need to change provider and CBA with the dance again

Went out to play Golf in New Brighton today in the Golf, not a carpark but I did take a look back, quite a handsome car, very subtle in its aggressiveness.

Naturally I did the obligatory pops and bangs through the Mersey Tunnel with the sunroof open

I have an M Performance one but it's still in the box awaiting fitting.
It's ridiculous that they won't cover you, i had no issues whatsoever with Admiral with the M Performance bits, springs, wheels and exhaust. Very small addition to my premiums too.

Such a good looking car that GC. I still miss my SRB 440i.

The new GC seems more bulky around the rear to me and heavier.

Yes, the latest is a proper lardarse 👎

[Abzynthe]

Few pics I took today. I can’t leave it alone at the moment haha.

[G50]

Loved looking back at my old 540i, and in a car park too!

[boba-fett]

Probably my best looking Turbo, albeit the 964. I used to look back in fondness!

How about yours? Managing the fuel bills okay?!

Mine has a back box mod and gutted primary cats, so more sound and power, it's the perfect volume for me and sounds epic. When I left The Motorist had a small blast over some B roads with a guy in a Golf GTI following me, we both got stuck at some roadworks and he stuck his head out the window and shouted "that sounds awesome" . You just can't beat it for the money.

Yeah just over 200 miles from 100 quid, but I only use it at the weekend, and it's more than worth both that and the £700 tax for the visceral noise that almost no car after around 2012 can match. I'm very close to getting a carbon plenum to really get the most unique and amazing aural experience from it, just need to be careful with spending with my wedding coming up in August.
