Wheels look awful IMHO, sorry.

Clown, have you got your car sorted? :)

No need to apologise I had two choices as a factory option, the ones I picked or the ones here (inner gloss black with polished front):

Personally didn't like them after seeing them in the flesh.

Anyway to answer your question ezah I, it definitely feels like a step up in quality and comfort from my e92. I love it despite moving to a dirty derv from the phenomenal n54 335i and there is no lying that I do miss that high revving smooth powerplant. I'll do a more detailed write up when I hit 1000 miles (only managed 300 since Friday).

Finally got round to some better pics, badly edited but the car more than makes up for that. :)

Been over 1500 miles, and I've used it as my daily for commuting since I got it in March. Now it's run in, it drives and sounds better than ever. Very difficult to get the 45 mpg stated for combined - not because it's not achievable, more because the temptation to put your foot down is too great! One small niggle sorted under warranty (dealer has been great - Lotus Silverstone) and I have transparent film applied to the front to protect against stone chips. Overall I'm extremely pleased with how liveable it is day-to-day. Such a great car - reminds me why I actually like driving, even a dull commute is exciting!
