    I was invited to the launch at Sandal Wakefield last night.... pics below.

    Also they had a beautiful M1, 1930s 328 and a few other special models.

    The 8 was nice, but tbh I was drooling over the E1, Z8 and M5 competition

    Was alongside an 840d today in traffic. First time I have seen one. Was underwhelmed to be honest. Stance looked wrong to my eyes. Mind I do think the same about the 4 series.....

    It was just okaaaay tbh when I saw it in the flesh.

    Little touches like the crystal gear stick (yes crystal) just seem a bit wrong for BMW and as if they are trying too hard.

    The X5 looked great externally but the materials inside didn't feel premium.

    It's like the new BMW range doesn't know what it wants to be.... the fact that we will have a FWD 1 series is bad enough

    I still want an old 850CSi though

    Current:
    E60 530D
    E38 750i Individual | Oxford Green
    E38 750iL Individual | Sorrentbleu
