Nice one.

If you are buying from a BMW garage, get them to put some oil in the boot. You can't buy it anywhere else (other than online from germany, but that takes a few days).

I'm sure I may have seen you in Clifton village last night round by the zebra crossing by WHSmiths at about 7:30pm?

I remember thinking to myself: "Those 520D's look good with the Sport kits on"

Saw you blue 'Taxi' on the ramp last Friday at Collumpton, looking good Rich!

Won't be long before you get it back I take it?

[Tyre Smoke]

Hope not. Was there today, just waiting for the wheels now and 4 months+ of waiting will be worth it.

OK, got it yesterday, quick review

1.take 10 mins to work out how to start it
2.watch a bit of countdown on the telly!
3. bumble out of cardiff letting the car mangle through the gears in "auto" mode ( not really auto as its a manual gearbox. This is not its strongest trait.
4. on the dual carriageway, start pondering about the M button on the steering wheel......
5. still pondering, thumb howevering over the button, wondering how much space I will neeed.
6. think sod it
7. press the button, tap the left paddle twice and plant foot to floor.

Took one around Rockingham when they first came out. Crazy speeds with lots of gears still to go! If you've got to have a saloon, that's definitely the way to go!

[Obiwonkeyblokey]
