New guy says hi!
Hi all,
First of all: Thanks for all the valueable info on this forum! Only wish I found you guys before ordering my new E91..... Quick introduction: 34 year old male from Holland, currently driving a toyota MR2 (known as the MR Spyder in US). Have had 2 of these, the first got me hooked on real wheel drive. After birth of my daughter 2 months ago it is time for some more seats and luggage-space, but trying to find a car that has space AND is fun to drive has been quite hard. RWD is a requirement for me, so the only real options are lexus or BMW. The IS220 is too small for me, so I ordered an E91 in montego-blue. The color was somewhat of a gamble for me, because no dealer in holland or the importer had one in that colour available. After seeing the pics on this forum, I can´t wait to see it and drive it! Have decided on less horsepower and more luxury as I will be using the car for business AND the roads here in holland are completely blocked with traffic jams  so i have ordered a 318d. According to the dealer it will arrive within 2 weeks! Can´t wait..... |

Welcome. We need more E91 owners in here. I will take delivery of mine in April to join my E46 330xi and my E46 M3. Post some p[ictures of your MR2 and your E91 when you get it. Congratulations on your daughter. I decided to get the E91 after my baby boy was born.

Welkom op dit forum... Wijs besluit om nu voor een echte auto te gaan
 De laatste MR2 is niet meer wat de MR2 geweest is (AW11 and SW20 waren echte mannenauto's, de ZZW30 eigenlijk een leuke achterwielaangedreven cabrio), maar dat is mijn mening. Laat wat foto's zien wanneer je nieuwe aanwinst gearriveerd is. ---- Enjoy your stay (read and writing) at the forum, and post some pictures after it's arrived.

 @brummelenj: je vergist je, de SW20 was de dameskappersbak (te zwaar, niet scherp genoeg). The spyder was designed as a convertible and is very much comparable to the original AW11 in agility and cornering capacities. and if you don´t believe me, there is still 2 weeks for me to take you for a road test (although it is on winter tyres at the moment)Thanks for the welcome guys, here´s some pics of my spyder:

My collegue did have a SW20, it did handle quite well, not as hardcore as the first one, I thought it wasn't that bad at all. De groeten, Joop

Thanks for the welcomes! The good news: my E91 arrived at the dealer today. My dealer sits along the highway I take to work, and thanks to the montego-blue I saw it standing out in the grey and black crowd even with 160 knm/h :-D Dealer just confirmed by e-mail that it is mine!
Think I'll leave work early today.... ;-)

Saw my E91 live today and sat in it for a brief moment..... have to wait one more week though for them to polish it and get a licence plate etc.
Sorry, no pics yet, had no camera on me. the specs though: 318D montego-blue E91 with: 156-rims Xenon Nav pro Bluetooth voice control auto airco alarm sport steering wheel sport seats with black leatherette PDC rear self-dimming RV mirror rain- and light sensors back sunshades no badges and the all important "storage package"with basically gives you 2 cupholders in the front for 150 EUR..... Can't wait to drive it!
