Cheers mate,

Silverdale is a village and civil parish within the City of Lancaster in Lancashire, England. The village stands on Morecambe Bay, near the border with Cumbria, 4.5 miles north west of Carnforth and 8.5 miles north of Lancaster.

That looks very nice and glossy. Someone has spent a lot of time polishing that. Not sure about the m badge though.

Mine had an M badge on the back when I bought it as well, where the Z4 badge should be. Some bloke on here had an attack of the vapours when he saw it! Afraid I can't get precious about it so it's still there at the moment. My only worry is that someone might mistake it for a 10 year old Z4M ... it's a far better car than that! ... Ask me how I know! ...

I wanted an M for some time and about 5 years ago I'd just sold an E-Type for a good price and wanted to replace it with something quick. I drove 2 Ms, one for a day and one for 3 days ... decided it wasn't what I wanted as a road car ... plenty of grunt but little comfort, crashing over every dent and cats-eye ... cornered well on the limit (I'm an ex-racer) and I didn't test it anywhere faster than Curborough where I was a racing school instructor, but I chose to buy instead whatever the best 'ordinary' one was called ... a 2008 3.0si coupe (can't remember the exact numbers) ... it was a better car for road driving. Not as quick, of course, with 270 odd hp. I can understand why people like Ms, probably the same reason I enjoyed the E-Type! Now I've got a 2014 top of the range 340 hp with auto/sequential/flappy paddle box and adjustable suspension for when you want some fun ... the old 3.0 coupe was marginally a better all round car than the M, don't get me wrong, the M was a fantastic car and whatever floats your boat etc. This one I've got now knocks them both into a cocked hat ... I can thoroughly recommend one to anybody ... in fact, if you haven't driven one - you should ... quick! ...

... Oh, and it doesn't bother me that it's got an M on the bootlid ... I don't really care for black wheels, black grilles, stubby aerials, noisy exhausts etc but I wouldn't tell people they shouldn't have them!

Thank you!

I guess you mean as far as waxing/protection goes?

The picture above it actually has a layer of dust on top, was washed two weeks ago

the WAX that I put on it after a good wash was -; http://www.valetingproducts.co.uk/Fireb ... 30077.aspx

which in my opinion for the price is a great! and smells lovely.

and I've topped it up with a layer of -; http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/detailing ... d_361.html

which really makes it look glossy/wet and the beading is amazing.
