Lovely. Agree that a black roof would suit it especially well.

I note from your pics the rear diffuser is in the body colour which is only usual for the 35is as a 35i usually has a dark grey diffuser. I wonder if BMW have changed this for the lci?

Thanks all.
Black roof would look good from what I've seen in the forum.

I know that M decals/badges are very much frowned upon but as Bing says, its no biggie.
Besides, there are already M badges that came with the car

T2_Ben - I'd definitely go for the mineral grey, but then again.. .I'm biased

Nevertheless, it really puts a smile on my face especially on a sunny day

Thanks again all for your help in making me spend my money (thats what I said to the missus :D )

Maniac - don't know much about the diffuser but the mineral grey is darker than the other grey, so maybe I just got lucky :?

Always thought that colour looks good on all BMW's but the choice of leather is inspired. Looks great :thumbsup:

There's an 'is' on BMW AUC's site, the prior grey colour with walnut leather... had my eye on it for ages but its overpriced. Mineral is that touch darker and really suits the car.

When 35i's are going for very low 20K's, 30K for an 'is' is daft. http://www.approved.bmw.co.uk/bmwuk/bmw ... e_ASC|list

Nanu - I agree, there's definitely something about this colour. But I think that I will be over doing the black roof thing a bit too much
BTW the BMW is my car, the missus had the Cooper S. ..honest.

Easy to be distracted. Very understandable. I had to have a closer look just to see why you were distracted. What was the gist of this conversation again? :roll:
