..... Now a M240i
Finally found a replacement for my zed which I sold a couple of weeks ago. I finally picked up from Dick Lovett in Bristol, a M240i automatic coupe which is loaded with loads of extras, so am very happy
I also had an enjoyable long drive back to Edinburgh, which gave me the opportunity to start to get to know the car. First mod once I have saved up some more pennies will be an M Performance silencer with carbon tips and a rear diffuser.

Well done Nick - that was some drive home
Looks lovely and I'm sure you're going to love it - don't forget to open the windows though (you're going to miss the drop top )
Looking forward to more reviews

Thanks Moz
Thanks Paul, Lorrain said its a lovely car but it's not special like the zed and I think she is missing the drop top already, she must be still in mourning. I am thoroughly enjoying the car, so much power which is delivered in a totally different way to the zed, the auto box is fantastic with very quick changes. I also like the way when in manual that you can down shift even if pushing close to max revs, which not a lot of auto boxes allow you to do. So looking forward to taking it for a blast on some nice winding roadspaulgs1000 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2017 6:51 pm Well done Nick - that was some drive home

Estoril is the best colour. Looks great and I bet it's an absolute rocketship!

Rocketship is an under statement, it's performance is very impressive which is accompanied by loads of big grins to match

Well maybe change the sig, but with those numbers the user name still works OK!
Love the colour too. I do like the shape of the 2 series coupe, much better than the previous 1 Series Coupe!
Enjoy being Swift.
Coupes because stunning!
