I think the rear of the the F20's are more appealing when their are de-baged as above!

I love the color by the way!!

That colour looks amazing in the Sun, and totally agree on the de-badged comment, it looks like they didn't really design anywhere for rear badges to fit nicely.

Some black grills and wing mirror covers would looks superb IMO with those alloys and the bright Orange

The last few days are the worst but the wait is worth it

The colour is amazing and suits the car very well. The sun really brings out the brightness of the paintwork and shows it off very nicely.

If it had been my car I'd have added the other accessories but my wife likes it the way it is so that seems to be how it'll stay.

Yes, they are the ferric grey wheels.

There was another LCI with the non ferric wheels and they looked too bright.

21/03/2015 - Signed contract to buy the car.
23/03/2015 - Order was placed by my dealer.
26/03/2015 - Confirmation that car build would start week commencing 06/04/2015
12/04/2015 - Confirmation from dealer that car was built and awaiting EU export.
17/04/2015 - Confirmation from dealer that car has arrived at Immingham port and that I can collect the Friday coming up.

I was okay with the waiting up until the point that I have a confirmed date, now I'm like a kid at Christmas!
I ordered mine on the 21st as well!! Had a call today to say it will be the first week of may, it's in the bodyshop this week and should be finished by the end of next week.

Congrats on your new ride, just curious, what tires do they mount now on the staggered 18 M wheels, non M135i setup ? Thank you

P.S. Same question on the other LCI 1 series topic

I think, from memory, they're Good Years but my wife is out so can't have a look at the moment.

Full spec is:

120d M Sport (5 door / Auto)

Comfort Pack (F/R Parking)
Model Designation Deletion (Rear)
Comfort Access
Sun Protection Glass
HK Stereo
Ferric Grey 461M 18" Wheels
Black Panel Display
Alu Hex trim with High-gloss black finisher

No nav as it's just my wife who will be driving to only the places she knows. If we're going anywhere I have the bigger car now for us all to pile into.

She's had it three weeks now and loves it. Enough poke to get around town nicely and give a bit of go on the motorway.

The only problem is squealing brakes. They can be heard from the front of the house when the car is being parked around the back of the house.

My wife loves it and there are times I look at it and would love to have the smaller car again for a bit of a blast

There are photos galore, I don't think my wife has stopped taking them from almost every angle inside and out. I'll see if I can hack into her phone and transfer a few over
