Size does matter! Or so I've been told...

Thought it was bigger than that, planning to frame it with a wide backing at black surround and hang it in my office. Nothing in here suggests that I like cars - wait, maybe that's a good thing!

Mine arrived today! 425, must say this is such a nice touch by the good folks at M.

Funnily enough, there was also a mail from my dealer - with the hardcopy brochure - nice touch too! Thanks Keith!

Received my first correspondence yesterday from M GmbH - excited, until I realised it was just the complimentary print (#437) ...

If anyone has 444 would they like to swap? I will consider a payment as it matches my VIN.

I'm not fussed with the letter, will put it with the brochure and anything else 1M in a folder.

The sketch, planning to put it an A3 frame with white backing and black frame. Just need to get around to it sometime soon, when the office quietens down...

I did wonder for a bit when I read Alpine's post. But I think the sketch on it's own will really work.

The other question is then, where do you mount it (keep it clean guys!)

I have a really large P Brock artwork in the pool room (off the family room), I think it will have to go there somewhere, it's too good for the garage (I have a BMW Roundel Flag in there ).

Actually I kind of like the letter more than the print! Nice to know that Dr S loves me . . .

Yeah, but got me thinking that you can have the letter next to the print - should look good. The only thing is it will probably make it huge.

As far as mounting it... NFI - it would become the largest and only properly framed item... my wife might be a bit p-off as we don't even have a properly framed wedding photo - although it's on numerous electronic copies..
