A week late, but I finally got it earlier today ....

Initial impressions: a lot smoother than the M135i, and maybe more torquey ... certainly a lot less road & wind noise - gives the overall impression of a more luxurious car ... only drawback compared to the F20 is the reach to the seatbelt harness... and something I hadnt thought of ... cant open the rear windows to ventilate the dog!

The Computer displays are quite different for this Model Year ... sussed out a few things as I drove home, but the info with 'Trip Computer' seems a lot less, no journey start time and no duration that I saw ....



Tyre pressure monitor activated itself, took quite a few miles to finish initialising ....

Brakes feel a lot more positive than the M135i ....



More when I've put some miles on and passed the exams for digesting the h/book ....
