Boot space in the coupe is MILES ahead, it's also better in the 3.0.
The twin back boxes on the //M mean you can't fit the battery in the traditional place in the boot (under the carpet), so it takes up room. In the coupe I couldn't believe the boot size, but not being able to take the roof down sucks balls.

Good buy you utter fag!
I ran out of time, Dan. The fecking thing comes in 50 parts with "Engrish" instructions that are utterly useless. You know I'll be rearranging them today
Taken up to The Lakes these last few 48hours. Couple of hundred more miles on the clock (circa 500 in now) and an absolute breeze in wet/hail that we had on the way back today. Thing looks a mess with all the dirt and salt on the roads but a decent jet down has got rid of most of it.
Few things have cropped up since pick up;
- £20 Winter Health check by BMW Wilmslow has shown up a snapped rear spring. A pain as they need to be replaced in pairs, but are a known issue. Also getting a decent amount out of the dealers warranty (50% of the cost as they only cover for the faulty item, not the advised double replacement).
- a few more "steady son" flashes on the dash board shows I'm starting to find the limit of grip with the winter tyres and conditions. Nothing anywhere near arse out but good to know it's so planted in comparison to the Panzer wallowmobile.
- The Gruppe M is just utterly superb and very addictive. I will get a decent video up once the weather calms down and I get the roof down again. But @Cookie needs to buy one!!

When you're back you're taking me out in it. I properly love the look of it.
Absolutely awesome. Love the colour.

No forearms. Let down.
Mid life ?! He's only 22. Had a hard life though.. IIRC he's from the north.
Was it raining?
no?
Well, no need for a roof then

Still don't like the car though.

Love you too.
Interesting mate, as one has snapped. What are they out of interest - standard stuff? Parts aren't that expensive (booked in on the 17th for both rears to be done), it's just the £180p/hr labour.
Ha, not at all - I bought it because of the roof. Damned if I'm not going to have it down every second I possibly can!
Pipe down, old stuff - 28!
Yep!
Steady.
No updates to report - goes in on the 17th to have the rear springs done at BMW. TBH I've been getting back at 9pm each night from work, so no time to drive. Saturday I'm out at the rugby and dinner... might be driving to the garage as the next time it gets driven and then away on hols for two weeks!
Started looking into a few other areas - PDC is one thing I thought it had that again the dealer lied about (can't see it very well in the photos and swear he changed them to the other blue one he had...). Seems to not be too bad a job either! Loom, gong, PDC sensors and a control unit, few hours at an Indy to fit and then coded by them too. Possibly £350 all in and OEM, rather than after market.

In all honesty, on the Zed, I find them too fussy. Especially on the Roadster. Some Coupes look OK and they really suit the E46 (naturally)... I think I'm happy with the standards for now!
