It's photoshop, if you want yours removing. Just send me a picture, it only takes 2 min to do.

My skills go so far as physically sticking some tape on the number plate before photographing it

These days Photoshop will do most of that for you, just use content aware and then patch up the little imperfections.
Really love this car, totally different to anything I've had before (previous was an E39 540i for 4 years).
Handles well, stops well, turn in/handling is unreal, can be a bit twitchy in the wet though (R888 tyres). Really like this car
Could do with a little more power however (this is a 190) but in reality it'll get to 120 quick enough which is enough for the real world)

I see a supercharger kit in your future...

Or buy a v6 one instead?

Theyre not the same. Theyre fatter and less focussed on being ultra light.
Haha been umming and ahhhing about a SC but for this car I think I'll pass, in a way it ruins what the car is all about - completely analogue experience, sharp steering, throttle and brakes (plus it wouldn't be on to do it to a car that's so mint!)
Would love an evora GT430 as a sensible car at some point though

Both Lotus and Toyota offered the engine with a supercharger in some applications though.
Wont ruin the power delivery either, in theory. And adds whine. Mmmmmmmm whine!

I sold my 2015 Fiesta ST-3 as I was fed up of the damage being caused to it (I live in a town centre and have to leave my car parked on a main road) and decided I'd try and find an interesting banger for less than £2k. Managed to get this 540i for £1950, it has MOT until next July and whilst it's rough around the edges (missing pixels, fuel gauge fault, PDC not working, rear bumper needs repairing) I can't find any rust and the engine/gearbox seem to be fine. I realise these are not cheap cars to run and there is plenty that could go wrong but I thought **** it, £1950 is less than 7 months PCP payments on my Fiesta and I finally have something RWD with a V8 
If the car requires anything too expensive doing to keep it running then I'll either break it for parts or chuck it on an online auction, hopefully I'll get a year or two out of it.

Good man - a V8 BMW for less than the PCP payments on a Fiesta!

I'm really tempted by an E39 540i as there's loads around here for £1-2k but I've been massively put off by the fact that everyone who buys one seems to have a never ending list of problems to fix. Obviously I wouldn't expect it to be trouble free, but they seem far worse than that Jags I've had of a similar age.

Hmmm that reminds me, I was going to post my new briefcase in here:
Made from the seat leather of a 1998 BMW 540i. The buckle is from an old American car.

Mine wasn't too bad in fairness, probably cost me £1k a year in servicing, repairs and consumables although the previous owner did have a £6k bill (they saw him coming) a few months before I bought it.

Not sure you know what a briefcase is. That's a handbag.
