Hi Steve 

yes still around and loving my BMW M760Li xdrive, will have to meet up and show you as i am retiring from the metals business end of march 😱

Pete 

I have been in the metals industry all my life its defo stainless but it could be 430 grade which is cheaper but not as resistant as say marine grade 316, the rust marks are very small but do appear, just for info for everyone stainless does rust if it gets scratched deep enough thats why its not called rustless 😂

Hi just like to say i had it on my 2019 plate takumi in white and the stainless they use for it is not good as it starts to get very small rust spots on it, i had it replaced because someone ran into the back of me and even the new replacement started to go the same way so be careful

Hi Vince,  I have the same items waiting to go in to my new ES but I'm sure you will get someone interested as the mats cost a small fortune at around £399 retail and the boot liner is at least £140 retail.    The front winter mats are really good as you know because of their design and they fit like a glove.

Hi steve yes mate not cheap and really keep car clean, no offers yet but 🤞for someone to take them off my hands 

Hi all ES owners i have sold my ES and gone to the dark side of BMW 7 series ownership 

i have the winter rubber mats and rubber boot mat for sale if anyone interested 

regards

Hi all i am thinking of selling my ES takumi with 25k on clock sonic white one of the first in uk with a service Paid and included + dash cam +winter mates front and boot any takers 

Hi all i had to have my lexus ES repaired as some idiot ran in to me my insurer wanted me to use approved repairer but i refused and i said i wanted Lexus in sheffield to do it who i bought the car from the insurer LV got a quote from them and agreed to use them by the way Lexus sheffield use Toyota across the road from them to do all repairs it then goes back to Lexus for final checks they did a fantastic job 

vinny 

Hi i am also in dubai but all taxis i see and use are the toyota camry new based on the lexus E300/350 platform are you sure its not these you mean As they look like lexus 

Steve

the dealer said they had not been made for ES when i got the car end of Jan so had to wait also i did not get them for rear so i will take this up with dealer was it leeds or the dealer where you ordered your car from that you saw the mats 

vince 

Has anyone got the protection pack for ES as i have had to wait over 4 months to get the floor mats and wonder what they should look like as i have paid £400

That's nothing to do with German cars rather more to do with tyres. 

What the £20k difference 

i had a bmw 5 series and its rear wheel drive cars that are crap in winter conditions compared to front wheel thats why bmw have gone to all wheel drive 

Just like to say i have a lexus es takumi and i have just specced up audi A6 like in this review with all the toys mine has and it comes in at a massive £66k i paid £44k also come resale i will get better return so why bother with german cars that when we have the slightest bit of sleet in uk you cant drive them i would rather have money in the bank than be able to drive fast round a corner

Ordered 4th May, Delivery June/July. 

I ordered mine 27th jan delivered 31st jan and been loving it ever since 😂🤣🤪

Update on Takumi

now getting 53mpg doing around town and motorways 

done over 6000 miles since getting the car last week of jan 😱

the auto function on seats is awesome as mine has heated and cooled seats and it senses temp in car and puts them on for you if car hot puts cooled on and vice versa 

I am armchair driver so the comfort is great, I do i lot of miles for work and get out after loads of miles feeling great. 

The power is enough for me not a speed freak but its quick for overtaking 

the adaptive cruise works brill even slowing down and stopping at juctions then setting off on its own 

all i can say still having lexus orgasm every time i drive it 😂😱

vince 

Hi all this is what the sonic white on takumi looks like its my car i got it in jan from a walk in to showroom 

cheers
