Me too, 16v Mk2 - loved it.

Looks quite nice there. Colour looked awful and garish in all the pics before this but that's actually quite nice.
Biggest shame with G Wagens is lack of keyless. Can't imagine having a car in 2019 or spending that amount of money and having to put a key in each time to start it. So retro.
I’ve asked for my new car to have the keyless switched off. Utterly pointless, makes the car easier to steal too

New cars/keys will come with motion detection. If the key has been still for 3 mins etc the wireless signal from the key will turn off and relay theft isn't possible.
Not sure about other cars but on Mercedes after you lock the car you can hit the lock button on the key again twice and it turns off keyless totally meaning the next time you use the car the unlock button must be pushed on the key first. I always do this at home overnight but when out and about in town just lock using keyless as normal.
Great looking car, love the colour.
What an absolute beast. Seen them in black, chrome, and even full gold (living in Middle East), but never that colour. You must be thrilled with it

^^Very nice. Would like to see some interior photos when you collect it.
On the bonnet, are those lights or indicators?
Only one interior pic, from the detailer.

The lights on top of the wings are indicators. To help guide your way!

Thank you.
I remember seeing a dark blue one and it looked really nice. Fingers crossed for my lotto win.
Rather like my 992 - great sports car - unlike my pictures which are pretty poor

I have to say, I disliked the pic earlier of the bright green one, but the actual photo of your one in that colour is stunning................I could even be tempted to swap my freelander in for one of those!!
^^^ the paint/shine looks amazing.. nice colour - looks almost black in the last shot..Bit of a handful though on some of our tight roads I should imagine.. It would stress me out driving these large suv's and trying to park them in S London..
Did the private plate come with the car?? Or did You buy it separately?
Really like the G Wagen. A real beauty in that colour. May I enquire where you got it from and what was the price range, if you don't mind, that is?
Picked up this smart roadster brabus xclusive yesterday as a fun 12-18 month fun car until I get something more serious (m2 comp, Lexus RCF etc). I love the looks and it is surprisingly well specced (auto wipers and lights, heated seats, cruise control etc).

My Daily since October 2017, no plans to change as it is a proper little hooligan and I love it!

Hey AJ, I have calmed right down these days, this was my one before last, makes me cringe a bit now but was fun back in the day :eagerness:

Thanks for the kind comments Mark.
I had an M135i prior to the M2 and it was certainly the easier car to commute in with a much softer suspension set up and smooth ZF 8 speeder. Truth be told it wasn't that much slower either.
Where the M2 scores is in the visceral sense of getting in to something properly sorted every time you go for a drive. The dry weather handling is borderline ridiculous, completely flat and planted at cornering speeds which would have seen my M135i on it's roof in a ditch. It is also laughably loud for a factory standard model in sport mode. With the DCT and set in comfort though it will munch the miles very happily and play the motorway cruiser.
I have adjustable M Performance suspension on mine and modest spacers and it sits very aggressively, gratuitous pic to illustrate the stance.

Cheers for the info! Yep, what a stance - looks fab. I have been pondering an M240i but difficult finding one with a high spec as I've been spoilt by my previous cars and I think I'd regret not going the whole hog with the M2. A 440i is also on the list which might give me the best of both worlds. I've got to have another BMW straight 6 before time runs out!
