So i turned up at soilhull bmw...lovely showroom with lots of space, met the salesman i'd dealt with over the phone, instantly thought how is all 6 foot 5 of him going to fit in the zed when we drive it but he managed it, so he got the car, wow...it looked lovely, somehow looked bigger than mine but maybe its just the flared arches etc make it look more imposing, tyres brand new, brake pads and discs brand new. He then said " please dont kill me" just before we sat in the car, wasnt roof down weather so i didnt bother but the smell of leather really hit me as i opened the door, very nice, sat in it and messed around with the elec seat controls for ages but didnt really manage to find my usual driving position but after a while i just gave up and made do feeling like i was sat on top of the wheel, i know i ll find a good one with some fiddling. so we pulled off, no kangarooing which was suprising but i was driving like miss daisy, we went for a lil drive and there was only really one part that was open road and it was a 40 zone, we were stuck behind a van doing 30 for most of it but he then turned off the road so i gave it like 1/3 of the beans revving it to about 4k before i was doing i dont know how fast and into a 30 zone, so yehah didnt really push it hard at all but 1/3 throttle felt as fast as mine when im really going for it, and thts with sport most definately OFF and yeah really no where near the potential of the car. so we pulled in....
deposit down, deal done, pick it up next saturday hopefully :driving:
Im so so so so so excited!!!
