Very nice matey, I'm envious. It looks a lot more clean and shiney than the pic inside the garage that you posted

I think a lot of the older bmws have the pixel issue but most people live with it as I dout its a cheap fix.
Is it a weekend car or everydayer? I'm guessing the former unless you have deep pockets

Cheers mate!
.
Yeah the pixel issue doesn't bother me at the moment, I might sort it next year if I decide to paint the car.
It's about Ł100 to fix.
It's an every dayer
. I had 27mpg on the obc over 215 miles on Monday!

LOL, I reset Cons 1 yesterday and averaged 23 over 80 miles, doing around 80 leptons on the way to work, so not bad. I'd be happy with 17 tbh, my Vectra was returning that

Cheers Tiff. I think it needs some paint correction as its a bit dull on the passenger side too. I think I will be treating it to a full detail in the not too distant future, and re-dying the leather as its a bit worn.

Nice!!!
I do like BMs, drove an m3 a few years ago and absolutely loved it, I'd definitely have one.
Why do some have vents in the wings? Is that just on M3s or coupes or what?

Thanks guys ![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
Mondi, its very relaxed and smooth. You dont feel like thrashing it, even though you can.
Thanks Ellie, The E46 M3's and E6x M5's had them. I arent even sure if they serve a purpose! Ive never driven an M3, but I can imagine that the M3 wants you to chuck it around more?

Ahh might have been the e46 I drove then. It was a driving experience present at Oulten Park so yeah, I did chuck it around a bit! Loved it and want one!!
