M140i Collected & Piccies

Hi all,
Collected the motor today and very pleased with it
Quite surprised at the difference in feel and drive from my old M135i. The new model feels more grown up and refined especially the engine inside the car which is quieter. I had real reservations going for the runflats which are Bridgestones and they are absolutely fine and just as comfortable as the MPSS so pleased on that one. Loving the new iDrive screen and graphics are lovely so feels a step up from the old car. The chrome trim around the windows is brushed matt which is a nice touch. Hand over took 90 mins, there was a slight glitch when the sales lady showed how the sunroof worked and then wouldn't close as the wind deflector wouldn't retract. A quick reset seemed to sort it out Dealer, knights of South Staffs have been top notch as always.
A few piccies,

Not sure about the display thing stuck on the dash though!
My mates M4 has it projected onto the windscreen.
Thanks Steve
Yeah its a bit Heath Robinson as its literally stuck on the dash but displays some useful info, it was either that or do without as the 1er doesn't get the HUD windscreen. I did look at aftermarket ones but stuck with BMWs retrofit.

I bet it wasn't long before the seat covers were on.
Cheers Maxman, oh it does have twin pipes :wink: in black chrome. No seat covers this time

Wow - that looks lovely, especially the colour combination! (A bit similar to my Z4)! :lol:
I'd like to say I'd have waited for new plate, but if it was mine and I knew it was ready then I am sure I would have done the same as you!
Enjoy!

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad now I went for a completely different combo from before, the interior pics don't really pick up the Fineline wood which looks really nice, so it does feel a different car from before. I will miss the silver and red interior though.
