Car Ordered!

Order placed yesterday!
116 3 door m sport
Estoril blue
M sport plus pack

Estimated Delivery due back end of May, funnily enough on my birthday
Excited is an understatement and I have little to no patience!

Any must have accessories I need to get for it?
Is it true that I need to "break in" the HK system? never heard of that before.

Thanks!

I would hope so. I had to give up my F31 and my new car lease made me go with a smaller car so I picked the F20. While waiting (2 weeks left) I got a 118d manual sport line with crappy 16" studded winter tires from a rental company. It is utterly boring and is totally dangerous and unpredictable to drive fast. I really hope it is the tires making me feel this way or I will be very disappointed...

@RIOBLAST: what engine did you get? M Sport or Sport Line trim? Driving dynamics are influenced quite a lot by the tyres profile, etc.

I got the 120d m-sport. Same engine I had in My F31. Its not really the lack of power it is the super poor handling. These tires make the car as good as an old Hyundai I10. Atleast I believe it is the tires...

About two weeks before getting my 120d M Sport I had a hire car F20 118d with one of the low end specs. It was like a different car and didn't handle anything like the F20 I have today.

The wait is a pain. Any plans on where to go after you picked it up?
