Hi All

After 6 months of negotiating and interminable waiting I picked up my New Alpine White 320d Convertible today and the sun even came out

That's what I thought. When did they come out?? 1st March right?

AlanIOW · 03-01-2009, 04:14 PM

Here's a few more pics

The car is sooooo much better than my old 320i which has been bought back by BMW after 21 months of disappointment. I must thank Chrisbin for all his help and assistance in getting a replacement deal. I must also give credit to my Dealer, Barons of Hindhead, who have fought long and hard with BMW to get me into a new car with minimal expense.

First impressions are;

The Diesel is quieter more powerful and much more flexible and uses alot less fuel.

Love the Alpine White, I think it shows off the M Sport kit much better than the LeMans Blue, I especially like the rear diffuser which now actually shows rather than blending in with the dark blue.

Love the Coral Red Leather and Grey Poplar wood combination

Like the new Front headrests

Like the new cruise Control

Usb using flash memeory stick still not perfect, but much better than in 2007

Can't believe it does 50mpg!!!!!!!!! - probably not for long though!!

ed335d · 03-01-2009, 04:16 PM

Mmmmm

drZ · 03-01-2009, 04:20 PM

very nice man..congrats on the new ride

TMP · 03-01-2009, 04:23 PM

Congrats!

How does it compare to the 320i?

PeteJ · 03-01-2009, 04:23 PM

Very nice!! You'll love it and once we get some good top down weather, the car is even more amazing!!

The only thing you might want to consider is a superchips upgrade. I've had my E93 320d 177ED for 9 months now and I think i'm wanting a little more power and I think the blue chip might just be the answer.

Anyway, lovely looking car. Enjoy her!

tisme · 03-01-2009, 05:40 PM

Nice contrasting colours.

AlanIOW - mine shows 50.4mpg, but it is actually 45mpg based on the past 4,500 miles and calculated from fuel receipts. You may not be getting the 50mpg you think you are.

DonM3 · 03-01-2009, 05:46 PM

Great colour combo

same as mine nearly. AW with fox red

AlanQS · 03-01-2009, 05:52 PM

Lovely car Alan. Congrats.

beemerbird · 03-01-2009, 05:56 PM

Congrats on the new car and I still like those wheels. Enjoy!

M3-FAST · 03-01-2009, 06:07 PM

Car looks great buddy, so pleased you have got a result at last, and another new 'vert

The front headrests look totally different, are they still electrically operated (up and down)?

Colour combo looks good, I also like it with the saddle brown with AW.

Best day of the year for weather also! Had my roof down all afternoon

Enjoy

booforty · 03-02-2009, 03:24 AM

Yes the headrests are still electric for up/down, but they don't tilt anymore just a forward and backward movement by pressing a button and pull/pushing.

Thanks for all the positive comments - The Sun is out again - I'm off for a drive

chrisbin · 03-02-2009, 03:55 AM

As per the email, great to see a good result at last!

Now I know why the weather was so good yesterday!

Hoops · 03-02-2009, 06:05 AM

Oh god, not another "white" E90 - Helen wont be happy!!!
On a serious note - i absolutely love the 3 series in AW, it looks awsome matey - just hope we get a decent summer for you to enjoy it to its fullest potential!!
