Fantastic! I need to try and buy that in about 5 years time
Can't believe we are up to #776 - they are selling so well. They are almost common!

Close up of the rope twist / plaited piping.
Cant help think it would get quite grubby depending on usage of the car but its a great detail

tbf it’ll be into double digits by the time I can afford it, and they’ll’ve outlawed V8’s long before that.

I think the interior is just BMW individual, sadly not Lavalina. The best interior I’ve seen was a photo someone took of a European car in a service station I think, with IIRC a green and blue, or green and white interior. Sounds horrible but was impressive. There are pictures on here somewhere.

Yes, the G3x B5 comes as standard with Nappa, but this is the upgraded Merino leather which comes from the BMW Individual range. Colour is Tartufo.
From what I've seen, there are a few G31 B5's with Lavalina. Of the 57 UK RHD cars I know of, 6 have a Lavalina option.

Yep, certainly potential for 3rd or 4th owner in 10 or 12 years as suspected
