Welcome!! Seat color looks absolutely stunning - was that part of the M Performance package?

Hows the car so far?

Mark220i · 08-02-2021, 10:49 AM

Thanks both! The magma red was standard configuration in the uk

I came from a 420d xDrive GC - so it took a while to get used to the seating position and the fact it ‘ain’t AWD!

Lovely car, really happy with mine so far.

That is a very nice colour and one, like my own, I would have a great deal of satisfaction when detailing it. May I though point out that Magma Red is part of the £1150 leather option in the UK and cloth is the standard covering for the seats.

Yep, just checked! My defence is I ordered this in jan 21 - as the 220i wasn’t in the uk at the time it took 6 months

They are a lovely car, just got used to the 4 series to 2 series differences, but it is a proper little rocket! (Got to remember, not AWD!)

Ouch, that hurts! How did that happen? Rear ended or the over exuberant reverse?
