Waiting delivery of my 116ed

Hi there,

New to the forum and BMW and just took the plunge ordering a 116ed. Thanks very much to all the contributors on this excellent forum which went a long way to help me decide on the 116d/116ed choice and vehicle options. My budget wasn't massive and in the end I went for a standard black 116ed with:
- sport steering wheel
- full black panel display
- driver comfort pack (cruise/PDC etc)
- auto lights / wipers

I drove an ed at North Oxford BMW who were quite helpful. I was astonished at how quickly the 1.6 picks up with good, useable power in every gear. As a comparison I found it quicker than an A6 2.0tdi avant I borrowed from a friend to drive to the garage. I found the handling to be pin sharp and over a 20 mile drive we averaged 61mpg. The interior quality was superb.

Really looking forward to my BMW experience and contributing to this forum.
