Newbie BSM 1M in London

[Christo]

Hi All

Newbie here... Purchased my 1M last July and after many many months of perusing the 1Addicts forums (the best out there!) I finally joined! My 1 has covered just over 2800 miles and loving every single minute behind the wheel. Looking forward to the Ace Cafe UK meet in June, if there's still room...

Photos below of my 1M (sorry if these are low res - working on this)

ATB,

Christo

I want your headlights

Mighty fine car you got yourself there mate.

Congrats and welcome.

Cooper Croydon by any chance?

Somehow I think the black is nicer and nicer .... more evergreen .. the VO and AW is a bit too common.

I can understand why... Shame the US spec cars come with the orange sides!

Thanks as7920.

Certainly is. The guys down there are very helpful. Did you purchase yours there too?

Welcome mate

Nice looking beast you have there, I'm still a big fan BSM.....

Hope to see you at a number of meets we have coming up.

You north or south side of the river?

No mate but I did go there when they had both an AW and a VO car on display to help my colour choice. Nice displays they have there.

One or two employees of that dealership are members of Pistonheads (and possibly here) I believe.

I originally ordered AW and changed my mind last minute. You've done some quality mods to yours.

Looking forward to the Ace Cafe meet.

I'm in the south.

I also went down when they were there. The VO belonged to one of the sales guys and the AW was my originally spec'd car. I changed my mind last minute to BSM because I previuosly had an AW 125i Coupe.

I picked up my car the same day as 'kmpowell'. He was in the next handover bay. Was great to see a BSM and AW alongside eachother.

I do remember seeing the SOLD sign on your AW!

All three colours are cracking, very difficult decision. I changed from BSM to VO and back to BSM and still sometimes think I should have gone AW!

AW is nice and after seeing what Aussie in London has done. As you say, all 3 colours are great. I'm just glad I managed to get 1!
