It's the kid in the candy shop syndrome. Whatever you choose - it will be cool and yours.

I think a lot of the look has to do with the wheels. I plan on upgrading to R90 16's when I order. They're sportier looking than the 5 star or Bridge spokes but not too heavy on the wallet. Here's a link that shows a bunch of shoices.

Well, these aren't "official" pics, as I haven't taken delivery yet (hopefully tomorrow), but here is my baby boy! Just delivered to the dealer last night!

MY R56 MCS

Bought my R56 MCS in the end April, Pepper White, 4 days before the MOTD which was totally awesome! Drove down with 300 miles on it, needless to say it had its break-in period, and came home with 3000 miles on it. Just put on the JCW Aero Kit and Konig 18x7.5 Hot Swaps with interchangable spokes. Tell me what you think

Wow, really nice. I am really taken by the aero kit and the wheels, especially with the white spokes.

She was covering her ears. She didn't want to hear that comment about she wasn't going to be delivered until Monday.

Beautiful pics! Thanks for the eye candy. Still waiting here. Mine should be delivered today also, if the truck made it.:impatient

This is Arthur, King of the Britons ---- replacing the recently demised Flying Squirrel (rest her soul).
Long live the King!



600 miles of local mountain driving over the weekend already; can't wait until I pass the break-in mileage...

We just installed our new Mach V Technic springs.

I washed the car, and so...it promptly rained. But I snapped some pics just in time!

Hey Dan,
Car looks great

Can we get some pics of the interior with the new gauges installed or is it still a work in progress?
