I was in traffic a couple of days ago and ended up sitting opposite a new shape 6 series, the owner sounded his horn and gave me the thumbs up.
he replaced the front wings on his - he bought them from a bmw specialist in germany near where i lived out there. it's his rear arches that are rusty now and he hasn't used it for so long that the mint cream leather electric interior is mouldy
