About 300 miles so far.  Had a bit of a play this afternoon, the throttle is so responsive it just wants to rocket away and I've been quite a bit over 4k a few times now. :embarrassed:

The best parts are the sound and the smoothness and the way it's so responsive.  The colour is great, I went to a christening on Saturday and ended up with quite a crowd admiring it.   Pulled up the instant mpg on the A1 while driving back and it was doing 50mpg in Eco mode at 70mph cruise!  On back roads or city driving its more like 25 so the average will be lower, but still that was a pleasant surprise.

The only bad part is my garage is so small I'm worried I'm going to scratch a door or something.  Had a bit of carpet ready but it got "disposed of" :rolleyes:

I'll add a couple more pics in a bit.  How are you finding your red beast?

Sounds brilliant! And going over 4k just has to be done  :grin: Yeah I showed my missus and she was cooing over the pics as that's the best colour by a mile. Decent economy as well, just shows a lot of the time it's down to how you drive.

I love mine too, just left it in sport  :grin: and I'm averaging around 33 with motorway driving in rush hour with some bursts. Took my dad and sister out in it and did hit 6k revs a few times  :whistle: which I probably shouldn't have given I've only done just over 200 miles but f7ck it it was awesome fun and the noise is great!

Sounds like after all the hassle we're both happy in the end! Yes, more pics please - interior would be good as it's class!

Ups and downs pal. The car handles great but the list of rattles is long  :sad:

Thanks, I'll admit I nearly bottled it and went for the black leather, so glad I went with my heart. It looks fantastic in the flesh.

Damn, hope they get sorted for you. I had a few on my MK6 and they drove me to distraction.

If I was ordering a bmw that's the leather I'd go for as it's pure class, gives it a proper premium feel and look!
