That's the best colour in the R for me. Very nice indeed.

Its so nice I might need to downgrade from my M135i to one of those in the future  :laugh:

Agree on the colour but not 100% sure it would be a downgrade though, having just come out of a 135 loaner for a month I'd say the only plus the 135 has over the R is the 8 speed box. The interior on the R is a nicer place to be but each to their own I guess.

Beautiful car, thanks for adding more pics ajmoir.

They have further confirmed for me my leaning to LSG and prets, if I do ever go to the R.

Booth - I don't think I have seen a DPB R yet (have you?!), can't wait to see your pics when you get it.

Not seen a DBP in the flesh, ffrank.  There are one or two in Rforum and I vaguely remember seeing a pic there some time ago.  There's probably more but I can't be bothered to trawl through the pic threads to look   :rolleyes:

I think someone else in the MK7 section here has one on order (gazmondo35??) which predates my order so hopefully he'll post some pics up so we can have a look.  Not sure if he's specced prets though. 

If I'm honest I think the metallic colours suit the sharper creases of the mk7 in general, but I think with the prets and the brushed silver mirror/lip accents DBP could look fantastic, at least I hope so, otherwise it's an expensive mistake  :grin:

Yeah used ones seem to fetch a high price to get people who don't want to wait.
