New car in the family

[GavinB]

Sold me 320se Coupe diesal and bought a 54 plate M3.
It's Titanium Silver with 19" and managed to get the original 18" with tyres too.
Much to the dismay of the "boss".
It needs a little TLC on the leather as the nappa is shiney.
So any advise is greatfully welcome.
Picking it up Friday so will try and upload some piccies.

Big jump indeed, I like that model very much as well.

More to follow after some elbow grease and TLC applied

Congrats mate, looks great

To sort the leather out you will need to first use a decent cleaner, followed by a leather conditioner. You will need to use both of these to get a good finish, it will also need treating once a month (in the summer months) to keep it looking its best. Also be prepared to use the cleaner two or three times if the leather is really dirty, before putting on the conditioner.

The LTT Leather care kit is very very good but pricey:

The Autoglym Stuff is good too:

The BMW & Meguiars kits also come highly recommended.

Cheers Pete,
Mrs B says I should use the above instead o moisturiser.
Not sure what she is getting at?

Have you decided which car you'll be bringing along for Highlander? Sticking with the traditional Z or joining us in the ///M3 Wing?

Very nice indeed Gavin.

Fancied an M3// my self on occasions.

DO like the CSL though!

Well done that couple.

Think we will be going with the majority and bringing the Zed.
I'm really pleased with the car and boyo boy does it shift and it sounds lovely.
Just used the Autoglym leather treatment and it's worked a treat. Just got to get the scratches in the leather sorted.
Have friend who works at Bentley on the upholstery so should be able to get them sorted.
