Yeah she's not too impressed with me and my car trades. I only had the M5 for 6 months before trading it for the TTS. And I was soooo excited about the M5.. I ordered it in like Nov 13 and had 5 long months before I could collect it. The little M135( which is a great car) also has only lasted 6 months. Both of these were 4 year pcp deals where I got clobbered with neg eq. One day I'll learn, one day...

Wow! Yeah, it's mainly M3's here. I'm surprised by that. Also thought there'd be more verts. Just me though. Would be good if there was an M4 with SS/SS so we had a matching set.

Edited the list a bit to try and keep it uniform. I'm a bit OCD

Thanks for providing the additional info. It's now complete

Yeah, I'm shocked at that too. Thought the coupe would be the most popular choice. Us Brits must be the most practical purchasers maybe? I can't believe there aren't more uk members waiting for orders.

First up is M5essex next week! Exciting times!!

I started a thread a few years back at launch with a poll. I will try and bump it, I was amazed back then how popular the saloon variant was.

The M3 certainly looks good with those wide rear arches. Even my dealer said he would go F80 rather than F82. I am just an old fashioned two door guy I guess.

Anyone else who has SS leather worried about jeans staining the leather? Any suggestions to a leather treatment and repellant/ barrier like scotchgard or whatever they use these days? Anyone getting BMW to do paint protection and interior protection??

Had brown leather on a previous car. Wanted something different this time. I'm happy with my chosen SS interior (said whilst trying hardest not to descend into slippery slope of questioning chosen options).

I'm worried so I asked the question previously on this forum and nobody responded to say they'd had any issues. Dirt shows up more, obviously, but they say it just wipes off. Some kind of wipes to carry in the car might be a good idea.

My salesmen threw in the BMW interior/exterior protection into the deal but the car manufacturers own cleaning products aren't usually thought of as being very good. I'm going to speak with my detailer about using something to protect the interior. I'm also seriously considering having the front end wrapped with a PPF.

I have Silverstone full leather and, although am only a couple of weeks in, no issue yet! I turned down the dealer protection and went for a full detail with a local firm (Ed at Divine Detail - he was fantastic). For the leather protection he used something called Dr Leather Dye Block, which seems to get pretty good reviews. Needs re-doing every 6 months or so but well worth it. I have similarly light leather on my Disco, which I didn't have protected and after 18 months it is screwed (it does get abused by 4 kids on a daily basis but it still upsets me!).

Does the M take the same abuse from the kids as the Disco?
