Rybrook Warwick cocked up the courtesy car booking whilst mine was in for a service today, so I ended up with one of the staff's cars.
Does not look so bad in white as I would have expected. It's impressively quick for such a big motor.  Nice to have as a courtesy car - maybe they should keep my car, just for the weekend! Not sure I would have one for myself though. |

The GT has grown on me - when I first saw it I thought it horrid but now I quite like it.

They feel very sprightly for such a big car.
The MSport trim looks a better than the SE. That one you've got has the upgraded 20" wheels on. Agree they look nice in white but probably being biased. |

It's growing on me as well but prefer it in the darker colours as it makes it look "smaller" (all relative of course)

  tight barsteward aren't they? Maybe Anneka can have a word with Sytner head office. I know about cutting costs and cheaper to run crap but come on..my brother had a new Audi A6 as courtesy car for the day when he dropped off his A3 for a service. And my ex-gf had a S4 when she had her 2003 A3 in for a bumper repair just across the road from BMW Sytner. And some business manager wonder why they are not shifting their F30  A bit of common sense helps... |

Spot on Mike, maybe they know I won't be changing for a couple of years but interestingly enough I spec'd my current interior combo because a loan 3 series I had from Sytner a few years ago so it definitely can impact on your choice of next vehicle. It was that experience that swayed me to the 3. Being 6ft 4 it should be pretty obvious I'm never going to buy a mini! (and it's £15 now the rob dogs) Lol, oh well everyone's looking to save money I guess and they can sell those minis next door all day long.
Devils advocate - maybe they know the F30 is shite (certainly looks it) so they don't dare loan any out ;p
