Brian,
If you like it that’s what really matters, I did something similar for the wife with her 2011 bmw efficient dynamics model, more mpg’s £20 road tax and even came with indicators etc, but kept the MG’s & 75’s for myself.

Looks a very nice car

The only thing I don't like on those is the central floating dash, but the ride and build quality is very good.

Apparently turbo failure is common on these engines unless the recommended oil (low ash synthetic) is used as the engine burns hot and carbon deposits will block the pipes to the turbo starving it of oil. . New turbo,associated bits and major clean of engine set me back £2500.

Not sure if this is of importance to you Brian,But maybe of interest.

I find amazing what with all the hype about “dirty diesels “ that they qualify for free road tax.
