Nice.  That colour looks very good on the E70.  Not many cars it works well with, but that looks very nice indeed.

Nice colour :)

535 - those are standard SE wheels, I just use them for my winters on mine. Think Mogsy is in love with them :)

Standard 18" wheels. TBH 20" wheels look great, but you can't see them when you're driving, so I opted for the standard "comfort" option

Seriously DGAF what other people think. Bought the car for performance, ability to handle this random weather, and to come off best in the unfortunate event of a collision with some of the stupid drivers out there

The high gloss shadowline really sets it off nicely.

Not so sure about the M logo on the door though  :P :))
