Your car is rather nice, did you by any chance have it repainted that colour? There was an M3 on a bmw mag recently looking exactly the same, it may be yours?

Looking nice mate, very different colour but it suits it.

In the fourth picture there is something on the side of the road further up, what is it, looks like a cow!

It's taken in the New Forest, Hampshire. Bloody cattle / horses / etc all over the damn road! - and your front lawn if you don't close the gate properly!!!

8.5 x 17" all around with 235/40/17, front arch mods required though...

Not too sure of the offset, but anything 13 - 20 is ok (the lower the better)
