Delivery Day, Drive, consumption & some pics

nice pics there, especially the 1st one in the showroom... the paint looks really nice with the lights reflecting off it.

Getting me even more excited about receiving my AW 135i :-D

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome.

Attached another pic from yesterday.

Drove some suburban roads today, then down to Mornington Peninsula and back. Fuel consumption initially averaged around 13, but dropped back to 10l. The petrol gauge goes into orbit when it has to wait at traffic lights! The car just wants to go :roundel: .

Congratulations BMW233! Looks very smart indeed...

If all goes to plan, mine is due into my hands next week. I wonder where I can go in Sydney for similar good pictures!

Perhaps they switched the fuel mixtures...I heard petrol companies use a winter/summer mixture at times of the year.

Thanks Sprey.
My first thought was blue mountains - not too far (and not far enough for new car :thumbup

Alext, I have never heard that before. Can you quote source(s)?

It's common in the states I believe, but usually for diesel...
