Hi all just wanted to share my news and say how pleased I am with the car so far. The power delivery is phenomenal and leaves me smiling from ear to ear.

Little chuck up to Blue Bell BMW in Crewe who were very attentive during my purchasing and especially to Brogan and Scott who both helped me get the car how I wanted it. Highly recommend them to any of the U.K. Buyers.

Wheels : 442M Bi-Colour Orbit Grey

Agree looks amazing, though, it's installed on the wrong side?

Gotta be careful with that leather. It gets dirty very quickly.

+1. White leather can be the unfortunate target of denim stains. Great car indeed.

xantdieselx · 04-28-2017, 04:57 PM

Love the exterior color choice and the interior. While it looks like it will be a b*tch to keep clean it's definitely classy.

-435UK- · 04-28-2017, 05:18 PM

Hi Promethius1, I have that interior, would love to hear how successful you are at keeping it clean, I really struggle. Interestingly mine has ivory leather on the glove box too, mines a 2016 car, I suppose they've changed things slightly.

donkey · 04-28-2017, 05:57 PM

Looks great, congrats

Hi mate, I have it going in for a professional detail on Tuesday for a couple of days where they are going to treat the interior with some form of protection, the guy said it won't stop it getting marks but it will make it easy to lift off the mark without staining the leather, intention is to carry some non aggressive wipes in the glove box and just wipe over marks/stains as they appear.

I have a 5 and 2 year old daughter who will both have car seats in the back, they will be sat on 2 x Diono ultra Car Seat Protectors. The backs of the front seats have a black protector on them so hopefully this will soak up some of the scuffs.

I have no doubt it will be an endless job to keep clean and may inevitably lead to failure but I have always wanted a light interior and find the dark interiors get stale pretty quick.. we shall see but I'll certainly keep you posted as to how it goes.
