Had a 2012 28i in 2014, always loved it, so finally got myself a 'modern classic'. I believe the car may have been here before, I've been mostly doing cosmetic work to it since I bought it last Dec. 2010 35i 6 Spd, Pure Design White in Individual Havanna Metallic. Lots of options from the factory, with a Birds Dinan Stg 1, 370 PS, 570Nm, Bilstein B12 Pro Kit, Quaife LSD. (thanks to Grok AI for removing my garage from the background)

Welcome! Love the colour 😁
 
:welcome: Nice colour 👍
 
Hi and :welcome: to the forum from me too in Stafford.
 
A manual 35i E89 is a rare car. Rarer still as it's brown. They didn't sell many havanna brown ones (some would say for obvious reasons). :whistle:;)

Indeed, I wasn't sure in pictures, but BMW used it as the launch display car for a reason 👍👍 it wasn't called brown of course, it was Havana (Mohave) Metallic, and it's a fabulous pearlescent, tbh, it looks more grey in the sunlight.
