Hi all,

I have picked up my new MY18 G11 750i a few weeks ago. First time I have bought a demo car. This was a demo car from BMW Netherlands. Speced to (almost) the max.

I am very happy with it. I drove a MY14 F10 535d which I adored. Very quick (stage 1 tuning 380 hp/750 nm), great drive (modded suspension) and great mileage. It was getting 5 years old and I was planning to drive with it for a few years. But then this car was offered at a price almost too good to be true. And a trade-in value for my 535d was good as well. Because of diesel-gate you need to be happy to get rid of a diesel car now here in this part of Europe...

So my car is Singapur Grey with Black Nappa Leather interior. Alcantara headlining, piano black trimmings and ceramic controls finish the interior nicely. MSport package is essential IMHO.

Tech wise it got almost all the bits and pieces. B&W audio, Driving Assistant Plus, Executive Pro with 4-wheel steering, Remote Parking, Rear Entertainment and 4 electric/ventilated massage seats.

One of the options I still need to know more of is the 'M Sport Exhaust System'. The cold start sound is pretty impressive, my wife hears me from a few 100 yards away coming so it must do something. But looking at the price (+- €500) I think this is only tuning of the engine sound through the speakers.

Mods will come as well.

Slippy Diff on order (had one on the 535i and 535d. World of difference)
Stage 1 tuning (+- 530 bhp)
Need some advise on using the entertainment with Iphone.
Suspension wise I will probably keep it standard for the time being. Need to 'study' the possibilities. Just lowering is not what I am after; I live out of town and need some ride height..
Wheels... Big doubt. As soon as winter hits here the current 20" will be promoted to winter wheels. For the next summer I want to buy a set of 21". Doubting between OEM Style 629 or Alpina Forged. Not sure if I want to go too aftermarket.
Brakes; need to dive in the M-Sport brakes BMW has on offer. First see how quick these ones are fading (normal motorway use)

Looking forward to read here further on other mods and owner reviews!
