Yepp, that's what I thought too. Anyway - a good advice is to avoid those tight parking spots. People are increadably careless when opening the doors or manoeuvering out of the spot, hurting your precious. I got my brand new F20 only two weeks ago and it already needs a paint job after some idiot tried to back out without knowing what the front end of his car did. Of course he didn't leave a note. I was so mad I could have gone up in smoke when seeing it.

About door handles: I could swear my F12 door handles were all black. But this thread made me check it out. Surprise: They have chrome elements! They blend neatly into the overall design, so thats why I didn't notice earlier. Which is remarkable, since I spend at least two hours every Sunday by cleaning and caring for the car. True love it is
