Well its poorer cousin has arrived

So here is the story:

ordered 320D M Sport Le Mans blue in May (Company car) ready for delivery 03 Aug as my current company car was being returned.

Long story short it hadn't been ordered and I have been driving a Vauxhall Vectra since the 03 Aug until today - those kind BMW bods have lent me a demonstrator until my car is delivered (05 Sept).

What a relief!!

Finally a car that steers accurately, accelerates smoothly and is comfortable.

It is my colour with my wheels, but the only added extra appears to be the 18" alloys so it is nearly my car - just missing the:
  • Bi-xenons/Headlamp Wash
  • 6FL Usb
  • Rain Sensor
  • Auto Headlights
  • Comfort Access
  • Black Dakota leather seats
  • Bluetooth
  • Exterior Mirror Pack
  • Front Seat heating
  • Park distance Control
  • Sun Protection Glass

So I would like you all to officially welcome me to the forum as a bmw driver.

I have attached somefor you to reference and i intend on updating with an experiential review of the next 2 and half weeks with this car and compare against mine when it arrives.

This was the old company car! Due to filesize errors the BMW is a few posts down!

That's a double negative.. so you do intend to disrespect Vectas.. lol..

:-)

anyhow, that E90 is the same on the outside as mine, minus the xenons.

Looks great and bet its far better to drive than the Vectra, though not a spacious.

i drove the facelifted vectra in early 06 (55 plate brand new) while my 318is coupe 99 (t plate) was in the garage... it was so shite (the vaux)

made my then 7 yr old bmw a pleasure to get back into.
