My 1st M Car...

So I just got back from a 2500km trip to Ballito, Id be lying if said I wasn't nervous as to how the car will behave as I only did 1500km from the time I got her in May until now. but I must say she didn't skip a beat , in fact she felt more eager and brutal at the coast. I had some awesome fun in the twisties before approaching PMB and DBN, I've never driven a car with this little body roll, the Michelin PS4Ss were equally amazing and grip levels were as good as people rave about.
if I wasn't already, I have now certainly fell in love with this car and the driving experience it gives you.
Thanks again to the previous 2 owners, @"Peter@AEW" and @"Legacy" for taking such good care of her.
it indeed is a special special little thing!

So apart from the seats , I had spare trimmings I thought id play around with.
my plan 3 years back with the old Z was to get it done in Alcantara, but I was on a tighter budget then so I opted to just get it vinyl wrapped.
this time round I got it done properly..

Things done

 - Dash Trimings in Alcantara with M stitching and M embossing
 - Centre console and coin holder in alcantara with M embossing
 - Knee pads in alcantara

some before ,during and after pic

The new interior looks incredible! *Drooooool*

Ok so since I got the car I've noticed the beeding/molding on the quarter glass was deteriorating , I've noticed this on my old Z and other E86 owners complaining about the same.
The drivers side wasn't too bad but the passenger side was on its last. what is a well maintained car mechanically I just couldn't let this eyesore go on.
its really idiotic that BMW designed it in such a way that the entire quarter glass needs to be replaced, anyway I ordered both sides and had them fitted this week, while I was at it , i also had the windscreen trim replaced with the original. car really looks freshened up now.
over the next few months may plan is to get paintless dent removal done on a few small dents and the front bumper resprayed due to stone chips.
cosmetically all will be sorted and then lastly I can get it detailed and ceramic coated.

Looks absolutely amazing. The M coupe has always been on my list ever since Top Gear did the original Z3 M coupe & Hammond called it the firecracker!
Yours looks stunning
