Update on my M3W saga. Production week listed as 17-22 on the build sheet Michael.

Krazy Horse collected my car from the factory yesterday. I went to see it today and it looks great - only one slight problem, the Sport Black car I ordered has for some unfathomable reason been painted Sport Green. I had the option of backing out of the deal or accepting the car as it is. I decided to go ahead and accept delivery on Friday as planned. The car in Sport Green is great - it's just not what I specified.

The other slight niggle is that vintage bonnet catches I specified have been fitted to a bonnet that has been pre drilled to accommodate the standard Dzus fasteners. The unnecessary holes are filled with plastic grommets. Still what do you expect for £43K?

I am sure if the weather improves and the sun shines on Friday all the trials and tribulations of dealing with MMC will disappear in a haze of exhaust smoke.
