Well I got it 3 months early...no thanks to the credit crunch...and guys, you were right about the red leather. I simply love it.
Anyway thanks to all of you for all the help and advice in you have given me...its seems that you all know more about BMW's then the stealers lol.
I will continue to use this forum as a BMW owner now.
Anyway once again thanks.

Very nice. Let's hope your engine is trouble-free.

Zk1 · 11-28-2008, 10:05 AM

they should call it BMW performance white. Red leather looks wicked

beemerbird · 11-28-2008, 10:18 AM

Hey - great news that you've got it

Yes - categorically agree that the white and the coral red do work well together.

Anyhow, happy xmas luv.

What a beautiful car, I love it

Must have been exciting to pick such a nice car up

I picked my new one up today and the excitment doesn't wear off no matter how many you buy does it?

Just remember roof down motoring at all times, now

I did drive with the roof down...well it was sunny and with the heating on....quite pleasant. Boys and their toys hey lol

Looks the dogs matey

SO so wish I had been brave and gone for the white! Looks really good!

You will soon learn that with the side windows up and warm air coming from all outlets (heated seats on number 1 if you have 'em

), it is quite a pleasant drive, even on a relatively cold day. If you don't have the wind deflector I highly recommend them. On the motorway at licence losing speeds, the car is still very refined with the roof down and side windows up

Enjoy the car.....and the many admiring glances it WILL attract!

Are you getting the new lower VAT rate and did they knock 2.5% off the whole car price rather than the part ex balance? I am hoping to save about £800 on mine if its off the full price.
