New Car Collected - 840GC

225 · 09-28-2021, 07:24 AM

Very nice and shows BMW can make coherent looking cars if they want to!
I think all bmws just have high ride height these days, my m340 does even though its better than the old f series xdrive cars.

Should be a small job to get the ride height fixed to look like this

Yeah for looking at it more I’m good with the height.

I think as has been suggested the slope done it no favours (that and my photography skills - ‘here’s my new car with an overturned Asda trolley in the background!).

Looked at it when I got home on the driveway. Hardly a low rider but all good as far as I’m concerned!

Dravit Grey is stunning! Congratulations and enjoy!

dopper99 · 09-28-2021, 04:43 PM

Yes I think the height looks fine, looking at the others. Forget about that and get on enjoying the car.

Congratulations, lovely car and lovely colour. As for ride height, if it hadn't been mentioned I wouldn't have noticed it, but that arch gap is too big for me!

Most would have noticed but look at the variation of that colour in light and shade…fantastic! (Your first post and this)

Very few colours are as dynamic these days, especially from BMW.

Forgot to say, get yourself some Dr Leather Dye BLock for the seats. Doesn't stop them getting grubby or the dye transferring from jeans, but it does add a protective layer so that it can be cleaned off significantly easier, rather than it becoming a somewhat permanent feature! Pay particular attention when apply to the lower back section, as well as the base and bolsters (obviously).
