Don't like it......... Well maybe a bit!

Are the seats good in leather?

 

[sparkynw]

Wouldn't swap but yes very nice!

Sweet, but the 4rse-end of it looks a bit off...

6000 miles down in my saloon

Trust me, when you get through that 1000 miles you're going to love it.

Sport mode for normal driving, Sport + when you want to play. No idea what Comfort or Eco do

It's been chucking it down here the last three days, in the wet these things are just superb!

Enjoy

I like it. Pity someone has cut a hole in the back where the number plate should be, though.

Hi Jon,
Yes mate, much prefer them to the Artico. PITA I only work 6 miles from home as it'll take me a month to run it in. My head down to Boxhill at the weekend if the weather's nice and put some miles in.

It is fair to say my editing skills aren't up to scratch and I've seen better looking blacked up number plates :fail
I also hated the 4arse end of the but I've gone full circle and love it now. I've often found myself sitting on the grass on my dive just looking at the rear.

How's the C43 going any problems to report?

How's the C43 going any problems to report?

One big problem.......still not run it in! Up to 650 miles now so not too long and I can feel it loosening up now Apart from that what niggles I had have now gone away (headrest not locked message).

It is a real head turner and they normally turn about 100 yards before I reach them due to the noise (with sports exhaust on). Sounds great and getting much better mpg than the M3. Not actually scrutinised the figures yet but I normally have to fill up once a week in the E92 and get around 190 miles per tank. I filled the C43 up a week ago today and still have half a tank left and on 150 miles I think. I'm doing the same driving I usually would - to and from work plus I drive at weekends.

Once I've got it run in I'll do a little review with some more concrete figures.

Cheers

Will do when it's run in.
