My car has arrived!

Don't know depends on what yours looks like! I think it is unique to that model- bigger air intake vents and can't see any front foggies

Is the front bumper different to mine?

I assume the m50d has the same front bumper as the x5m in which case different bumper and no front fog lights for some reason.

If anyone else is buying an m50d can i give them the spec i would like and hopefully in 2-3 years time ill be able to afford it  ;)

I thought I often saw you driving around town with your front fogs on in daylight with your boom box blaring and wearing your baseball cap on facing the wrong way

The puny wheels are nothing compared to the above!!!

Not sure, but the tailpipes are  :))
