How about a San Marino M4

washy · 04-13-2016, 10:01 AM

Finally after the best part of 4 months I have my M4. What can I say about the car that hasn't been said already! I have only driven it about 50 miles and it is already covered in dead stuff so a wash may be in order sooner rather than later and I have already had to wipe a dirty mark off the silverstone leather so that will probably drive me mad.

Very impressed so far and can't stop nipping outside to have a look at it. I also need to go and play with the settings and get it just so

It is very stock at the moment, but I do have plans to make it more my own no doubt some M perf goodies will turn up shortly.

Anyhow here are some quick pics I will get some interior and engine shots later.

Would also like to thank Wollaston in Northampton for sorting me out and making us feel special on our anniversary.

how the hell did you know the camera he was using...?

scottc · 04-13-2016, 10:13 AM

Washy, they looks awesome.. Cannot wait to see the pictures of the Silverstone leather.

When I see the car looking that good in SMB with those wheels it does make me wonder about the CP.. I cannot have both the CP and SMB so it would have to be one or the other!!! The wheels I can sort..

Enjoy your car mate and post loads of photos!!

Washy, re the Silverstone leather. id get that treated and protected quickly as you would be amazed how easily it marks. ive ordered some Dr leather formula when it gets proper dirty but first and foremost i've applied the L1 leather guard a couple of times and thank god I did, as my baby threw up in a big way in my car at the weekend

You are right it is stunning, but it does need looking after.

washy · 04-13-2016, 10:44 AM

Looks like I need to give the engine a wipe too
