Wow, that's absolutely lovely, makes me miss my old e46 325Ci M Sport. The wing mirrors are less than elegant though. Do BMW offer any aftermarket ones?

New EU regulations on mirror size for new cars  :confused: I was thinking the same.

I wondered whether there was any alternative in the BMW Performance catalogue but there doesn't seem to be. I know it's a regulation for new cars but I guess that doesn't apply to aftermarket upgrades.

I did happen upon the BMW Performance Sport Steering wheel whilst browsing the catalogue, as well as oodles of carbon goodies. Stay away if you have a sensitive wallet!

Shoo! Shoo!! Off with you, Neil! You're not welcome here any more! Especially when you post pics of such a beautiful machine. A car like that could tempt me back into a Beemer, but fortunately it wouldn't suit my needs. Very nice though and thanks for sharing.. Now eff off! :wink:
