Well, I got to take it out today without the Mrs in it!!

It's a very different drive to the E90, but I'm pretty impressed with the "Sport" function on the gearbox, really sorts out the throttle (gas) pedal, and certainly makes the steering feel more like the E90 did.

Time will tell how much fun it is as a daily driver, but I'm pretty sure it won't be bad.

nice car.

Am I missing something here. Why is the headlining not black. I thought Msport models come with black headlining. I could be wrong but my 535d (ex-BMW UK car) has a similar leather but black headlining.

cheers

This then gave the option of Automatic or Sports Automatic Transmission. This one has the "Sport" button, which removes 6th gear, holds the revs, tightens the steering, and also makes the throttle pedal respond instantly.
I agree! The sport button on Sport Auto Trans is amazing.. like I mentioned several times already the throttle response is deadly quick, push the pedal and your accelerating is super fast with the revs shifting very quickly.


Congrats on your new car. I really love the leather color and the piano wood trim!

Yes, you're missing something! ;-)

It has the individual interior, which in this case includes Alcantara headlining (suede stuff). It comes with the Individual Platinum interior. Was a ?4.5k option when new, which also includes the leather stitched dashboard, door trims etc...

What a car! It looks to be in amazing condition. When I move over to the UK, I want to get the exact same one!
