Its almost mine!!!

My car has arrived at the dealers. I won't pick it op until next Thursday because I am away until then. I imagine I will shattered after a week without any sleep! :eyebulge:

I have been quoted 8.25% for 4 years (BMW full circle) and the BMW insurance premium is $1059 pa but the excess is $1000. I have attached some pics. It was built in the first week of September.

Very nice mate - a friend of ours wants to test drive the 125 Sport in BSM and she wants a manual!! She won't drive an auto - obviously a woman who likes to feel the stick and be in control:biggrin:

I chose the auto so my wife could drive it. This is the first auto. She's had enough stick but she still likes to be in control!

VERY nice car and a great combo Cargeek (same as mine, except you are missing a roof).

Love what they have done with those seat covers ;-)


Enjoy when you pick it up....

Yes I delayed my order until Sept build (1st week) to get the 09 iDrive. The pop up screen probably looks tidier but I wanted the new features

Enjoy the auto box! I drive almost exclusively in "S" mode now - after 3 tanks I'm getting 11.4L/100km and a helluva lot of enjoyment!!

Thanks guys. I saw it again today and I am very pleased with my choice. I thought white with red seats screamed mid-life crisis but its more like a whisper. The dealer still needs to configure the new idrive.
