Hey MGooda
Thanks for replying. I don't suppose you could take a few pics by any chance, I really can't make my mind up between Shadowline or not! And I can't find a dealer who has either Thanks |

Will warn you though, seeing it in the flesh makes a huge difference. I looked at used car pictures before deciding and they don't do it justice. The grey and black contrast really well. |

Got lucky as had to reject the original one because of some issues, and whilst BMW only committed to a like for like replacement the dealer pulled out all the stops to change the colour and upgrade to Shadowline. I'm now over the moon with it. |

Ah ok, that's handy then!
I had that a few cars back, they agreed to swap the colour but as you said took a little bit of persuasion! When you get a chance I would really appreciate a few photos, but no rush! atb |

Primary rejection reason was a persistent metallic clonking that was coming from behind the bulk head when coming off the brake pedal. Dealer thought they had cracked it for it only to return and I asked them to support the rejection, they did , as did BMW UK. 4 weeks into the new one now and hasn't missed a beat, all turned out ok and was painless, contrary to what I was expecting to be the case based on a lot of what you read. |

Thats good then, a really great result for you.
I always thought it was an almost impossible task to reject, but, it seems like it was relatively easy, not withstanding the grief you had for 8 weeks. |

YorkieBMW Thanks for taking those pics. Quick question, in the configurator the Cerium bits look like they stand out a lot but in your pics those same parts look a little bit more subtle and sit better on the car. Would you say that is a fair statement?
Also are you happy with the open-pored trim? |

I love the open-pored trim. It now feels like wood. I previously had a walnut trim on my 328i GT and that was so varnished it could have been plastic. |

I am assuming 'cerium' is the colour on the seats. If not, pretend I never posted. Do you miss the cavernous boot on the GT as much as I do?? |
