Mate!!! That looks 'Sweet'!.... :cool:

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the 19" alloys , in terms of ride quality. Mine are shocking, even with the DCC set to comfort. Bugger to clean as well. Cleaned mine just today and discovered there's a lip that runs behind the spokes which is difficult to get to... Just collects brake dust!!!! So annoying..  :angry: (I think the alloys on the M135i have a similar problem)
Its early days yet but to be honest the ride quality feels fine and pretty similar to my mk6 which had 18"  wheels, mind you i've not hit any potholes yet.As far as cleaning the wheels go i'll let you know after the weekend, i can see they are going to be a bugger to clean.

You just need a long, soft wheel brush to get inside the lip.

PP? How's it feel compared to the mk6?

That is an awesome colour! The wheels look great with it too. I've kept my Alloys stock because I'll be doing 200 mile commutes every few weeks, and I didn't want the ride quality to suffer.

Not really given it enough yet to compare it with the MK6  but i can tell you it is definately louder.

One thing that did surprise me is the fact you dont get a tax disc when you leave the dealers,you can now drive a new car for upto 14 days without displaying a current tax disc. :undecided:

When you say louder, do you mean the road noise is worse? Or the Engine itself is louder? I'm sure I read somewhere the engine noise is supposed to be reduced considerably.

In the cabin the engine sounds more sporty when you give it some it roars louder
