Cheers all

Sweet ride!!! Fantastic colour- I very nearly went for it- I would have had no regrets if I had of done.

The m sport really makes the f20 look bad ass- interior is beautiful- how do you find the m suspension?

Yeah I think the car looks quite agressive and I am really pleased I chose white. I find the M Sport suspension fine and not quite as hard feeling as my previous car, which I think is merely down to the slightly longer wheelbase.

How do you like the combination of the m Sport And the 18i ???

Nice Ride

Hi Crysmack

I previously had a 120i M Sport and although the ride was firm I liked it but I must admit the new car seems to ride better - still firm but smoother which I guess is down to the slightly longer wheelbase.

As far as the engine is concerned although it is only 1.6cc it is much more responsive than the 120i especially in Sport mode so the turbo power obviously works well.

I think the M Sport looks great and quite agressive from the front; I am really pleased with everything about it.

Cheers

iBeech is right, wheels are standard 18" light alloy Double-spoke style 386M with mixed tyres.

Hi Fanis, thanks for the comment. I think it looks great with the M pack too and in white; was tempted by Estoril Blue and was put off only because my previous M Sport was Le Mans Blue and I wanted a change-really glad now that I stuck with my original choice of white.

Nice ride! And indeed the right color! Interesting to hold yours and mine next to each other (Both Alpine, M-sport vs Sportline & 18" 386M vs 18" 385). The M-Sport is a bit more aggressive. I especially like the elongated wheel arch of the M-sport and the extra detailing in the side-skirts. I'm not sure on the diffuser though. I think I need to see that in real life. I know I really liked it on the old 1-er.

Hi there TonyManero, thanks for your comments.

The Sport is indeed a great looking car (particularly with the 18" 385 wheels which are not that different to the 386M) and would have been my choice if I couldn't run to the M Sport but having previously owned an M Sport I liked the additional touches such as anthracite headlining, interior trim & seating fabric etc, not to mention the body styling - I think the diffuser really suits the car. To have upgraded a Sport would have cost more. Overall I cannot fault the car and it's a pleasure and exciting to drive.

Cheers

View the garage that you want to delete/amend and in the upper right should be options to either "Edit" or "Delete" the vehicle profile.

Thanks for that Jason - don't know how I didn't see the buttons as they are big enough!

I've been browsing these forums for some months now and when I saw this thread I had to create an account . You are the first person I found online who posted shots of an Alpine White M Sport F20 and it looks fantastic! Very much like the bright xenon lights combined with the white paintwork. Also the details on the bodywork is more visible on white. Was considering blue estoril aswell, but in my opinion that's more appropriate for real M cars.

I ordered the F20/118iA AW M Sport and it should be delivered somewhere in June. I'm really glad it looks as good as I hoped it would.

I didn't take the 18" though. Was afraid the car would become as bouncy and firm as my current Peugeot 207 (on 17") which is really fatiguing with longer rides. However, for what I read the car is quite smooth already on the 18".

Yours looks much better than my normal sport line!

Hi Shaflic, thanks very much for your comments.
I am so pleased my photos helped you in your decision and yes the car does look fab in white and I agree with you re the lights and bodywork detail. I too was tempted by Estoril Blue when I saw it was available but decided to stick with my original choice as my previous M Sport was in Le Mans blue and I wanted a change (and I am glad I did).

The 18" wheels are standard UK spec and as far as I know there is no choice but never the less the car rides very smoothly and seems better than my previous M Sport which had 17" - probably because of the longer wheelbase.

I know it will seem a long time until you get yours but it will be worth the wait and I am sure you will be extremely pleased once it's on the road. Pics asap please.

Cheers mate
