Hi Guys, I got my new car at the end of September, forgot to post some pics.......

BMW M140i Shadow Edition, BMW were offering hefty discounts, coupled with 1.9% APR it seemed too good to be true!

Absolutely love the car, aiming to keep it for around 2-3 years then shop it in for a 3/5 touring.

I think I have just gone over 3000 miles in it, the noise and acceleration makes me smile every time!

**Edit**
Forgot to say, these are not new pictures, car is filthy at the moment!

Very very nice looking car! Not keen on the gloss black interior myself - think it would have been better in carbon fibre, but otherwise really really nice motor

You wouldn't believe how frustrating the gloss black is inside! Every finger print shows, tempted to get it changed, but at the moment I just keep a microfibre in the car to wipe it down

I would - my father's old 535D had a gloss black interior, made damn sure his M5 didn't have it

Christ I just love the XK, Is it as good as the Aston. In a lot of ways yes and some better. V8 on tap with superb Jag comfort at all times. Couldn't ask for a better 'daily'

Thought I'd give a pickup a whirl for awhile see how I get on with it. Probably change it for an Amarok if I decide to keep one though.

Is it fixed now?

Supposedly - but as it is a 3L V6 diesel that seems to have spent most of its life commuting in stop start traffic it wouldn't surprise me if other problems crop up because of that.

This just in, Duke of Edinburgh's crash caused by him being distracted by mad his & hers MX5's blocking his driveway.

Excuse the low red and quality only way I can post from my phone without upsetting the forum.

Taking a weekend break!

LOL was watching a video earlier where someone had WTF as the tail numbers for their plane and their explanation was an interesting one.
