Spent a few hours last night giving it a good clean & having a play about with my work camera.
Probably shouldn't have played with the camera as most are overexposed 
But here are a few good ones.
Only had time to polish the bonnet and passenger side wing.
It's a very dark blue, not black.
Plans are:
New OEM alloy wheels.
OEM xenon headlights.
Remap
Polish the rest of the car.
Upgrade the speakers.

Decided against rear lights.
I like the originals.
Just sourcing some headlights for less than £500 is going to be difficult.

I wouldn't do any modifying on that car. Just keep it clean and tidy.

Thought you said you didn't want another diesel? That said, a friend had one, top spec 335D and it was very very nice! The wheels let this down though but as you've said they won't be on for long
Would also look for the front bumper splitter that the M-Sport has

It's the auto.
In normal mode it shifts up at 4k rpm when giving it some.
Shifts are quick and very smooth.
4.5k rpm when in sport mode and it usually sits one gear lower for normal driving. Shifts slightly quicker in DS.
