F21 125d Ordered
Hey guys!
Have ordered an F21, can't contain myself so thought I'd post and get it out of my system! Had a beautiful 320d M-Sport E90 auto for four years. Loved it to bits but it was an early model with road tax hitting £225 and urban mpg averaging 34 I felt the need for a next gen BMW. So, sold the E90 (with tears) and ordered as follows... F21 N47 125d M Sport 3-door Hatch 300 - Alpine White HAAT- Anthracite Hexagon cloth/Alcantara upholstery Options Z0A Driver comfort Pack 2VL - Variable sport steering 507 - PDC, rear 544 - Cruise control with brake function Z0B Interior Comfort Pack 493 - Extended storage 563 - Extended Light pack Z0C Visibility Pack 431 - Rear view mirror, auto dim 502 - Headlight wash 521 - Rain sensor with auto headlight activation 522 - Xenon headlights 5AC - High-beam Assist Z0D Sun protection pack 3AP - Windscreen with grey band 420 - Sun protection glass 2TB Sport automatic transmission 2VF Adaptive M Sport suspension 674 Harman Kardon Hi-Fi 6WA Black panel display, full 4AD Brushed Aluminium Trim I have a set of 19" AC Schnitzer Type IV alloys which I kept, going to referb them two tone, orbit grey with diamond cut face but won't be doing/fitting these till next summer. Because I changed from the 5 door 120d Expected delivery pushed 17th December. Im going to try make them keep it until 2013 as i don't want to have it 2 weeks then suddenly its a year old! Really cannot wait, a lot of tech I've never had before like bluetooth, idrive, ipod control which i always yearned for. it's also my first ever new car in 17 years of driving! Enjoying all the reads from current/future owners, keep it up! Cheers Guys |

I noticed you did not have DAB radio on your list You may also want to consider folding mirrors, as it includes the tilt function on the pasenger side when reversing. Very handy if you want to stop gutter rash |

No DAB as coverage is poor in my part of the world. By the time we 'catch up' ill probably be changing the car. I did consider the folding mirrors but I really have stretched my budget as much as I can
Really thought this day and age the reversing dip mirror would have been standard! |

Nice spec, I also changed from an e9x to the f20 for similar reasons.... You do miss some comfort and cabin/boot space but it a fun car to drive... Especially is you've selected some nice toys.... The HK is awesome !
I guess you've seen the posts regarding fitting e9x wheels to f20's? Looks like its do-able! http://f20.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=733789

Hi Tawia
Congratulations on the new car order. Great spec you've gone for! Do you have part numbers for the ///M Performance Dark LED tail lights.....? I fancy a set of these. |

Wow what a spec Tawia makes the F20 116ed with driver comfort pack in sparkling bronze I'm waiting for look like a poor mans car!!! However my beloved E91 has to go as its a 2006 model and costs me £375 a month BIK tax (incl fuel). the F20 will be closer to £90 a month and 60 odd to the gallon. Not a difficult choice in the end!

You are right, it moves only the glass. For whatever technical reason, in order to have the reversing dipping mirrors (thus the mirror need a memory function to ''know'' in which position it has to return), you either have to spec the electric folding mirrors or the electric seats with memory function (which includes mirror's memory as well).

Thanks guys for the good comments. Just set myself back another month tho. Changed the spec today to F21 125d M Sport. ETD 18th December will try to make them keep it till the new year so it's a proper 2013 car. If so have to wait for January but nice start to the new year
