Car arrived, driven, bits added!

So the Tilsun deal really was genuine, just took a while! But my god it was worth the wait!

The moment i saw it on the trailer i fell in love

Took it for a short drive and holy shiiiiiiit it is quick! And that whistle, i'm not sure if it's the Turbo or the air intake, but i love it! And on tick over is virtually silent and a world apart from the E90 320d.

So i took a couple of pics of how it arrived, then put the pile of bits i had accumulated on it! Now i'm even more in love!

Awesome. Great that it came through and she looks stunning.

Pleased to hear how 'quick' it feels compared to the 320d - makes me really excited about the step-up in a couple of weeks.

Enjoy your weekend in the new car

Looking gorgeous, I am liking the black grills.

Also, lighting looks good.

Need some night time shots

Great stuff - I'm gonna type up my thoughts on mine but in summary, it's bloody amazing!

HUD, active cruise control, HK, magic dancing lights etc etc

It really is the sort of car that makes me just want to jump in and drive somewhere random (and I'm running in so not caning it!).

Need to fit grills and SilverVision indicators over the weekend, yet to order black tips and the media cradle as I don't like cables flapping around.

Enjoy yours

Liking the detango effect of the bulbs - got a part number?
Have you changed the fog bulbs to be whiter? (Got a part number? )

I'm reserving judgement on the black grilles for now. Not sure I like the chrome, but I'm not sure I prefer the gloss black...

Well i haven't got HUD, ACC or dancing lights, and i had at times wondered if i should have added more kit. But now i've got this brand new beast sitting outside my house i am more than happy as if anything i've gone a bit silly and got too nice a car!

Compared to all my neighbours cars it is a bit ridiculous!!

Enjoy your toy! It looks fantastic! I'm only 600 miles in but it's getting better all the time!...

Just remember to check the speedo, I find that under normal acceleration that the smoothness, linear acceleration and lack of gear changes finds me going faster than I thought...

The Brodit bits look very familiar... I haven't needed TomTom yet, so my bits are still in the wrappers... Have you fitted yours? If so, is central possible or offset only?

Loving that! I love the spoiler and black grills...seriously considering this for mine. The silver can be hard to match though on the spoiler that's my only issue.

That looks awesome. For me the indicator bulbs and spoiler are the 2 things that make the car look "better" - the front grill and exhausts tips I wouldn't be bothered with.

Anyhow each to their own - your car looks stunning - and I am really interested in your comparison from your previous car as I am moving from an almost identical E90 also.

Congratulations and glad your car finally arrived.

The spoiler and clear indicators really add to the look and ive done the same to mine.

Enjoy and drive safe. Another Superman joins the fold.

Congratulations. Looks fantastic. I have my bulbs sitting waiting for the car but can't seem to make a decision on the chrome vs black grille question.
