My last post about 330d (I promise - now ordered)

[drisser]

Hi guys

as you are all a very open minded and friendly bunch, just wanted to say I ordered my 330d this morning, so you don't have to listen to me droning on about test drives forever more !!

SO I ordered my 330d today, got a really good deal and despite the offer of a pre LCI model for £10k off list, I opted for the facelift as I still got a really good deal and the dealer has been great to deal with.

Spec -

330d Auto, Rear wheel drive, not x drive
Estoril blue with Saddle leather

M sport + Pack
Professional Nav
Head up display - got a demo, absolutely love it and will use it all the time.
Heated seats
Split fold rear seats

That's all I needed really as the M sport + gives you lots of goodies.  List price came in at £42,384.

Discounted to £36,365, less further deposit contribution of £1500

Net price £34,865.

I could have had a good spec pre LCI stock car for £32k, but for  bit extra I got exactly what I wanted and am in no hurry.  It should be delivered late September, early October latest and they gave me a guaranteed px for my A3 diesel in case I don't sell privately.

Should be something like this



Colour scheme - Estoril and newly available on M sport the saddle (tan) leather



Thanks for the great debate guys, still love the Golf's     just fancied something a bit more grown up and spacious this time round..

Congrats Andy!! The Estoril blue with the tan will be awesome. Want to see plenty of pics when it arrives

[drisser]

thanks Craig.  Had that tan leather on a couple of red Alfas and love it, it was the clincher to order a facelift car because almost every Estoril blue 3 series has black leather or occosionally oyster

I wish Audi would take note, its one thing that depresses me about some VAG products, all 50 shades of grey..

This is certainly the first 3 series my dealer has order in this combination but the sale girl reckoned it would look awesome.

Congratulations on finally making a decision and sealing the deal Drisser   

That is a beautiful colour combination - browns and blues are absolutely made for each other (IMO speaking as a former artist - painter).

It's been both entertaining and informative sharing your car buying journey - thanks for taking us along on the ride 

Enjoy life on the Bimmer forums, but don't be a stranger, we love a pic or two, who cares what the car is!

Congratulations!
You have purchased a brilliant car. It is in a different league to the buzz box hot hatches. I love our F30 to bits. Sporty when you want, refined all the time. The only thing you should have specced is Adaptive Suspension. Really makes the car IMO.
Enjoy your purchase.

What about this one? It's the new Eco Juke that gives 12 miles to the straw bale:-
