Default Our V40 D4 R-Design

Really just to test the new section (already have a thread in the showroom section).

Our new 2013 D4 R-Design Geartronic


Together with the 780


Reflection of the V40 in my "german" car...

Christ that is some amazing fantastic "orange peel" in the BMW, but very "BMW" as it will be in the primer layer.

Lovely V40 although I just could not own a black car.

Why not a black car?

Very nice! Test drove one recently and was pleasantly surprised. Shame there's not just a teeny bit more headroom in the back for tall people! But lovely car!

Gets dirty far to quickly and the issues in summer are even worse - pollen on them hours after waste of time.

Hehe, I know what you mean! Have had black cars only (780 excl) since 2006 and it feels like I've done nothing but washing cars ever since!

Great-looking car there! And one of these new V40s parked next to it, I see.
