Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to say hello, don't have my car yet so no pictures I'm afraid but I've just ordered an M40i last week.

Delivery scheduled for April, husband may want to murder me for my impatience by then but hopefully it will be here in time for some better weather! :driving:

Thanks everyone :)

Definitely up for joining a Scottish run over the summer :thumbsup:

Sars I didn't really consider the Handschalter as for longer runs and probably some Europe trips I'd rather have the ZF8. Already have it in my other car and love it. Also not a fan of the frozen deep green BUT I have gone Sanremo and cognac :wink: as soon as I saw the colour on a car I knew that's what I wanted.

Scubaregs was going to be Arnold Clark at Hillington but when they said delivery July I went with Douglas Park as they already had an earlier build slot and gave me a better deal as well.

I work for AC Hillington, though not in sales.

I drive around 16000 miles per year, mostly motorway, but love a blast in the dales at the weekend, I'd love the manual but cannot live with the matt green it comes in. I also have the cognac interior and IMHO it is the best interior colour, makes the inside space brighter without the colour rub of the ivory.
