Well, I have finally bought another car after getting rid of the vectra vxr. Perfect for what I'm after. Comfy, practical, pretty quick and big boot for the dog.
It's a 335i m-sport. It's got quite a few optional extras on it, and black grilles, blackline rear lights and carbon interior parts. It's also AP big brake kit, quaife diff and a remap to roughly 370bhp.
Had a 9 hour drive home it it last night to get used to it and I absolutely love it, kind of wish I had got one sooner. Wasn't sure if I'd like the gearbox, but I'm really glad I went for it now.
Was going to wash it and take pics today but it's snowing, so here are pics from owner:

Stunning. Some tasty extras on that too!
9hr drive? Got it from somewhere quite Southern I assume?!

Got it from Maidenhead, would have taken a little less time, but stopped a couple times on way home.
Need to find a decent cleaner for the seats. They're perfect now, but I can imagine them being a nightmare to keep clean.

Get some gtechniq L1 leather sealant on them. Is easier to remove dye transfer then :-)

Maidenhead. I used to live near there. Back when I was a proper Southerner.
Nice whip mate.

Cheers for the comments. Still haven't had much of a chance to drive it, but taking it down to Glasgow on Saturday so will get another road trip in it.
I'm not sure if coilovers would spoil the ride on it, as it's so comfy to drive as it is. Wouldn't mind getting a nice set of wheels on it though at some point.
It's also away getting light tints on it right now.

I've always liked those style wheels that are on it. Do you not like them then?
