Nailed it! Not keen on the black wheels, but otherwise looks lovely!

Red body and black wheels is a theme 😂

Springs and spacers that’s it, they run standard on the SE springs, which are far too high!
It’s got professional nav, HK audio, adaptive LED’s, the Big MSport breaks etc also has the factory electric towbar which is super rare and a massive bonus as means I have the option of using this rather than the van for local towing duties.

I will remap the engine and gearbox, plus get full screen Apple CarPlay.

Like it. How many powers will the remap bring? Didn't you have an E39 in similar colours?

Cheers,

Remap will be 375-400 bhp and about 570ft/lb.

Had an imola red E39, this is Melbourne which isn’t as nice but probably my favourite F31 colour, the black wheels and trim really lift it tbh.

My mate the traffic cop drives one. He prefers the 5 series though, I presume because of space for fitting in whilst wearing stab vest etc though.

I was sniffing about new M340d and 530d x drive Tourings- but even with the 2.9% apr you are still looking at a lot of interest payments and 30 grand over 4 years for the pleasure with nothing to show for it.


This was a good read- cliche but in the real world do you really need more, and 4wd means it’s instant traction even at this time of year.
