Black front bit next I guess

Thanks

Funnily enough, I am one of the (seemingly) very few that likes the silvery kidneys, especially on a dark car. Maybe will try something different in the future though...

Reading all the reports is great but just making me more impatient, this month can't go fast enough.

You'll get there. Funnily enough, the last week before pickup passed in a bit of a blur, it was the first few weeks that seemed interminable! Believe me, the car makes all the waiting so worthwhile

Really look forward to seeing some pics of the interior too

And agree with you on both Adaptive and HUD. The 335d loaner has both; the Adaptive is definitely nice to have and, IMO, is a no-brainer in terms of cost (longevity may be something else entirely!).

I think HUD is absolutely superb and, like many others say, is something I would not want to be without on our camera-infested roads.

Anyway, lets have more piccies, on-going impressions and maybe even a cheeky cold start video for us poor race losers still awaiting our cars (yep, me and crazybones )

Thanks mate! Good to know that the loaner is giving you a taste of all the good stuff, you will just get it all topped off with your individual choices and the engine

Had another quick spin today, the wife's first trip in the car - she loved it too. Tried a little sports mode and really enjoyed the extra noise (and that was all below 3500 rpm!).

I did do a short start-up video on my phone inside the car, but frankly it was rubbish...will give it another go from outside the car if I get chance. Sorry guys!
