Jeez, patience guys  Weather is curse word at the moment and the car is needing cleaned, will post up some pics at the weekend. Managed to take a couple in the garage tonight though. Changed the steering wheel over to the single spoke one, turns out my car came with a two spoke wheel originally, single spoke was fitted to earlier cars, luckily the seller included the single spoke so i bunged that on. Seats (and the rest of the interior) are amazing, leather is in good condition but will condition it anyway, he told me to be carefull with the glovebox catch as these are easily broken and hard to get. Cool things i've found are an ELECTRIC ARM REST, i kid you not, i thought the electric headrests in my E38 were pointless, will take a Video of this when i can, also a wheel half way up the drivers seat back i thought was for lumbar support actually pinches the seat bolsters in or out to suit a fat or skinny driver  Interior is full black including the headcloth, cant help feeling like a French gangster driving it   Engine bay is really tidy, with lots of new parts and signs of recent work, headgasket, timing belt etc recently done, also has had all the suspension spheres replaced, had a quick look underneath earlier an it all looks really solid and fresh underneath.  Will try and post some decent exterior pics on Saturday and a Video of the ELECTRIC ARM REST |

These XMs really are growing on me - never been a great fan of French motors but that interior just looks lush!
Looking forward to exterior pics ...

Managed to get some pics of my 23 year old French mistress. Those didn't turn out so i'll post some pics of the old Citroen instead  It's been around a bit, invoices indicate Slough and Norfolk and a few other places, the plates are Oxford Citroen dealer ones, now it's in central Scotland.  don't have any drastic plans for it, may fit some Yellow tint to the front fog lights but that'll be it.  Interior is very dark.  Second rear screen.  Still to finish off cleaning it, will do that later.  Seats are lush  |

That looks fantastic. The second rear screen is a bit quirky - I don't think I've seen one of them before.
Cheers

The second rear screen is perfect when it is either really hot or really cold. If it's working, it keeps the air inside the car and you don't have to heat/cool the entire atmosphere ...
