Ah here is the teaser shot of my new ride - picked it up today
And yes I did want the picture like this - I like the how the HDR image has picked out the strakes on the headlights in line with the m badge :-)

Thanks all

She was an epic drive last night as i came back from the airport - 15c outside - empty roads - and night time - she felt so planted
and again - as ive read

doesnt feel a big car - until you put your foot on brakes but hustling her around bends was awesome
