Hey, FF, looks exactly like my Bimmer. I see you debadged, too. I've heard that's an option in your market. Keep the pictures coming.

Flowerfred, are you on stock or sports suspension? The car looks low enough for the 124s. Nice!

Nearly as nice as mine

But seriously, great looking car, love the leather but it was an option to far for me, the standard seats are surprisingly good.

Have you got rear power outlets?? I've not

ENJOY !!

Congrats FF.

Very similar to mine apart from the Sunroof and bigger wheels but you got a lot more equipment.

Enjoy

All right,

Thanks for the positive reactions everyone...

Just took her out on the motorway for a little spin. Didn't have a chnce earlier 'cause in Lndon traffic stops between 4 and 7pm.
First impressions:

The interiour looks great at night, and I kept on taking roundabouts.. The adaptive headlights make make me smile ear to ear! I'm not so sure if it's a useful option but it sure is fun. The other thing is the body roll. There is none. Combine that with the 500 nm of torque and you end up going round and round on a tiny roundabout, doing 60 in the end. Fantastic!

I had a little go at the active cruise control. Man, you set it to 80, fold the headrest thingies around your head and you could fall asleep like that. It works a treat.

Had a bit of trouble getting the nav babe to be quiet though. She insisted on getting me to Italy. Don't know how I shut her up, but it didn't take the manual to do it and that's all that matters. To a man.

And it's true, you get an amazing amount of people looking at you in this car.

So to everyone still waiting: hang on, it's worth the wait..

(BTW, had a new e-class as a courtesy car fort the last week untill yesterday, it's a bucket compared to this machine )


DD, how is she, let us know and post some pics! And no, no rear power outlet. There is a bit of that maple stuff there though.

Oh, and Stu, the dealer is Stephen James in Enfield. No complaints about the service. Although after reading doctor diesels experiences I feel a few more extra's would heve been nice. They never offered to wash my car again.
They are just moving in to brand new premises and it looks fantastic. Very large, very clean, very professional.

Looks great FF. Fantastic spec as I've already said.

It's a shame that ActiveS and DynamicD are such expensive options over here.
