New car ready for delivery.
All ready on my return to home town next week.
It's been awhile but BMW have my replacement 116i M Sport ready to go. I won't go into all the faults I had with the other car but BMW stood by their word and replaced it. My dealer sent me the photo.

I've had the car a week today and been enjoying the upgrade maps and screen. Their is certainly not many of this colour on the road and everyone who has made a comment really like the colour. It is easy to find in carpark buildings for sure.
The car seems to have a bit more get and go but I can only compare with the bigger loan BMW cars I've had over the weeks. I must say being back in the 1 series is great and so much better than the bigger floaty cars.

The colour sort of reminds me of fresh Falu Red paint which I used to paint my summer house last year.

Black wheels was the only added extra and do look good. Valencia Orange does change colours and does look a darker orange clay brown in the shade. The photos make it look more orange then it really is.
I've never owned a colour like this before I'm usually black, white or silver and only had so far good comments. BMW manufactured a special release for New Zealand with $15,000 of added extras and $3000 below basic 116i pricing so was a great deal. The new updated LCI 1 series will be back to full pricing with none of the extra's and only has changes to the exterior which softens the look which is a shame.
