Congrats.

It looks like you've discovered what the 'M' in the 1M stands for.

LOL!

You know, I just realized that I think AW and VO are in a dead heat for documented crashes. I can't think of any BSM.

AW: There was that horrid crash in Poland, right off the bat. I believe an Aussie mag rolled one not too long ago. I think there was one other somewhere in Europe where the guy just went off the road on a test drive. Maybe it was in Russia?

VO: there was one in South Korea, then one in HKG, and one here which was back East, if I recall, during the snows.

Anyway...NO JINX!!!!!!

I think I make it 4 - 3 to VO!

Anyway I'm glad I got the safest, just hope I also got the least nickable (least prime to theft, as BMWs are being stolen at an alarming rate here in the UK at the moment)

Many thanks for the kind welcome.
Dee pee, May be its because more people went for the faster options rather than the slower black model, (oooo heh! Im being drawn into the banter already)
borabora, Funny that, my wife said the same thing, or was she just fantasising?

Anyway i have to say, i am so chuffed with this car. I bought it with 1800 miles on it and the previous owner had blacked the wheels which i wasn't sure about at first but now i love them.
It is a basic car, no pro sat nav or Idrive but i got it for the right money and what it does have is excitement by the bucket load and thats all i want.

You're right. It is quick!
