Hello all,

Ive been lurking for a while but this is my fist post! Ordered the car in December, it got off the boat this week and is in storage until 1st March until I pick her up. The wait has been/is agonising.

Collecting from London, so the first drive is going to be back to Manchester via the Pennines which should be fun .

Didn't go too mad with the options as its the first car I've bought(lol):

3 door estoril blue
HK Audio
Front and rear PDC
Sports auto transmission.

Believe I got a decent deal from the guys at Berry Chiswick so a big thanks to them!

Welcome Ben.

I'll be picking up on 1st March from Coopers Croydon and heading back to Manchester.

I collect at 0900 hopefully so maybe I'll see you on the way back up.

Congrats on the purchase.
I don't see how people can wait for a new reg though. I couldn't sit around for weeks while I knew my car was ready sitting in some car park.

Had the car come in Jan I would have picked it up straight away - wasn't expecting it until mid few though and couldn't make it down until the last week so didn't see the point. Going to be the longest three weeks of my life now! Any extras anyone thinks Ill regret not having?

I'm sure you will be happy with what you've got. The engine is the important bit
I would miss not having my heated seats compared to your spec but at least your picking it up the right time of year!

I think you've specced it good! I was tempted to have the HK but I had it on my last 3 series and its great but as I've gotten older I've not been blasting the tunes out as much..

I just added the Auto and parking sensors (surprised these aren't standard). Its great that they now include the Sat nav as standard.
