Like that idea. I decided not too as I will be using the back seats daily, few friends with 3 series verts have the wind breaker and told me they never use it for the same reason.  Idea was to pick it up off some poor bugger that paid full price and realized he/she never uses it later on.

Are you sure you want Sanj in charge of the paintwork? Look what happened to his at the Hounslow meet :))

Temptation says get in it a drive it. Sensibility says get as many coffee's out of them as possible whilst you give it the once over as the last thing you want is to get home and find a dent/ding/scratch anywhere on it and have them say that you did it!

I know it will be a long wait but good luck with the pickup Friday mate :)

Totally agree they do, just felt this was an option I can pick up later and cheaper, that way I can get other expensive options instead  :)

If you are going to operate in '2-seat mode' it definitely does improve things, but the cost is unreal.  I think the one for the E46 was about £250 in 2005 so I dread to think what they are now.

Mrs X5Sport used hers all the time as in those days - a mere three weeks back - it was just the two of us and we rarely used the back seats.  If the car goes back on the road we can probably get the child seat underneath it though.... >:D.  Not that I would ever dream of doing such a thing of course O:-)

The one in the e93 is in and out in seconds. It's worth asking what deal Elms could do via parts and check against eBay. When I sold our e46 windbreak it sold for near retail.  :)

Exciting times for sure. Never been a position to purchase a brand spanker but as others have said just make sure all the spec is there.

Paintwork 'should' be all good and Sanj thinks he knows what he's doing so its all good...

I could do with his help right now, I need a pair of kids booster seats but want them to match and be narrow enough so the buckle does not get covered up.  That blue stitching would go nicely :D
