DP Was intended to replace 318d to save money but er, well.... got a bit carried away with the options haha. Ahh well hopefully should see improved returns with the fuel economy, and insurance is £40 cheaper a month.

If it reassures you any. I had an 05 318d and my 125d is more economical than it was. 118d should be more economical than mine.

My 318d was a late '10 build so its the same engine. I can squeeze about 60mpg out of it. I'm hoping the improved ED and weight difference can help improve the fuel economy.

Just had the call to say its ready next week, unfortunately some prat who wasn't looking where he was going reversed straight into the side of my 318d (the car I'm trading in) so need to wait until that's fixed before I can pick up the new one :-(. Booked in for repairs on Tuesday, it's minor scratching so shouldn't take long.
Hopefully this time next week ill have some pics to share :-)

Well, I guess I appreciate the bendy lights and that stuff more since I live in country which is rather dark in the winter season. I would never trade it for an upgraded radio.

Not been out at night yet as I have only had the car three weeks but I had Xenons on my 2001 car and would always specify at least this as a minimum now.
Probably why it took me 5 months to find a suitable car secondhand only ever saw 9 in an AUC search tops as soon as you add Xenon and sports seats to the filter group stock vanishes. |

I have a 114i Sport on order from HF, not a big fan of DP. It's coming straight from the factory so my delivery date is 2nd week in June (about 3 weeks waiting in total).
