It's a very different kind of performance.

My scoob was very raw....loud, punchy performance. Which I liked

The BMW is very fast, but very smooth at the same time. You don't realise just how quick you're actually going and you can cruise on the motorway for hours and get out "fresh as a daisy" but at the same time you can throw it about too

It's not AS quick as my scoob was, but then I had spent a fair bit on the scoob!

Horses for courses I suppose m8......I guess I appreciate the comfort factor now I'm getting older LOL

The standard BMW boot lip spoiler is painted as the car.....that's what I had until this weekend. The carbon one is aftermarket....came from Germany via BMTown in Liverpool.

Cool

Cheers m8.

I think the next mod is AC Schnitzer aero mirrors and then maybe the M3 carbon trim for the interior. 19's if I really get bored

was thinking of getting a rear spoiler lip for mine, but BMW don't make one and the spoiler from my other car would be overkill

Simon....the Warrior. It was a very nice toy and a novelty for a while. Mine was all black with full black windows and the black full box option. It looked stunning.

However, in all honesty, and all my opinion of course, the ride on anything more than a short journey was back breaking and it was very, very slow .

MPG was very good (can't remember exactly), cost about 60 quid to fill a tank, and it was surprisingly easy to get the back out sliding and hold it

I bought mine new, with all the options on it, and after 6 months of ownership I really had to change it. I lost out BIG time (£7k depreciation in 6 months )

I always wanted one, had one and wouldn't do it again

on the hard top, they are retractable coat hangers that are flush when not used. Nice touch.

Dave-w, get some eye brows for the headlights, makes mine look meaner
