Yes hi and welcome to the forum, as stated I've not seen many cars in this colour  either but BMW seem to use it in promotional photos and videos quite a bit. Enjoy

Thanks for all the compliments guys. Yeah you're right about the colour being used in different promo videos etc.
I just love how it looks different depending on light. Just to let you know I had the arches colour coded along with a few other bits on there and had the mud guards removed also. Then had the wheels refurbed and I think that set the car off.

Recently been reading about people changing front bumpers to x5m but don't know how much work is involved in that. Any ideas?

Did your car come from Fairbairns in Irvine, nice spec and aftermarket hifi upgrade?

I actually bought the car from my uncle who's a trader. It was a 1 owner car. It was from somewhere further up north in Scotland can't remember where now. Definitely not an upgraded sound system as a dont rate mine at all.

Just curious, I had seen a car very similar to yours advertised on the bmwland forum before it disappeared and it needed up being traded in to Fairbairns.
