I did indeed i will post up a pic later on.
Few niggles need sorting out with trim and the rear arches need touching up and the protective plastic adding.
Over all i am pleased though, loving the comfort seats lol.

Everyone says the M Sport on 20s is a harsh ride but maybe because i came from an M it feels smooth as!

Not seen shiny grilles on a white one before and wouldn't instinctively have chosen them, but having seen yours I think it works well.
Enjoy!

I'm too late, but check the paint on rear arches, mine looked great when I bought it, or I was blinded with joy, then a week later when all the back2black came off its redic! Plus looks like the number plate missing  )

Looks greats. Comfort seats are amazing. I love the way the bolsters tighten when you start the engine. Helps hold you in whilst the harsh ride tries to throw you out! Maybe the ride is good on yours because you have that rare option of  - S2VAA  Chassis & suspens. setup"Adaptive Drive".

Wish I had that. BMW should have made that standard in the UK. :'(

I have just had the front lower suspension thrust arms replaced on mine due to worn ball joints and it has improved things quite a bit.

Heh yeah you always notice things after the sale... thats just part and parcel of used cars unfortunately. I knew about the chipped paint on the rear arches but my friend is a bodywork guy so shouldn't cost much to get it resprayed and plastic coated.

The Titanium grills are standard on SD/35D/40D aren't they?

I was really surprised how nice the leather dash is... Always seen it as a overpriced and crazy option but i might be converted now lol... although i didn't pay the original price to add it as an option

Adaptive drive is awesome! I drove with and without and the cornering is on rails with it! sooo much better.
