Thanks bro
It definitely blew on the test drive. The BMW guy was really good, he let me take it on a 10-12 mile test drive, and i got up to, well lets say high speed, on a few occasions before he very gently reminded me of the speed limit. I love the fact you can have auto when feeling lazy (which I am sometimes) and then use the paddles when you want to give it some! But it was funny when i first started, was naturally looking for the clutch pedal and gear shift when slowing down. Also, you can actually hear the engine and the car just feels flat and grippy around corners, body roll vastly reduced compared to my 320D. With NRFT it will probably improve even further. I was suprised with the ride with 19" alloys. I was expecting it to be rock hard but it actually felt nice coming from my car.
Its a Pre LCI with around 35k on the clock. Sparkling graphite and coral red dakota interior with 19" style 230 alloys. I will definitely put pics up and more of my impressions and plans for the future when i get the car. However i can say my first mod will be ordering those M3 paddle shifts from Ibinco today

Thanks
Haha yeah going to start that today! It is a bit annoying that i did all of this and now have to take it all out again. Only issue i may have is that morels and coupe doors, and maybe the IB baffle, but I don't mind waiting until i can sort it! It's also got the old iDrive but these issues became such a minor to me once i actually experienced the car!

Thanks. Yeah will need some of those adaptors, unless i can fabricate one myself! But if you do see one it would be really helpful

It's a pre LCI.
This next week is going to be the longest of my life. Have to take all the stuff out plus just waiting for the car
