srhutch, me too 
Should be a good day today then. 
Interested to hear what you feel about the 3.0, having stepped up an engine and down a year.

Well it was an enjoyable drive back.
There are some niggles with the car that I need to sort out but in general a fine beast. I'll take some shots on Thursday morning and post them (once I read you how to stuff first).
Power was of course up. Ride was stiffer. Noise?, well I put the sound moderator on my 2.5 and left out some of the damping, so it was pleasant but subdued.
One of teh front indicator bulbs was iffy so I need to make sure the connector is pushed or twisted home.
Need to get a wind defector - mounts are there but no deflector to be seen.
The engine sounds as sweet as a new one. Steering nice and positive. i only had the 16 inch wheels before so the 18's showed a bit of tramlining on motorway gullies (for the second or two that I was in the nearside lane) but I'll get used to that.
She is still on run flats and seems to have had a relaxed life. Will normal tyres fit the rims or do I need to change rims?
Looking forward to getting to know the guys here and maybe meeting up on a run soon.
I was on the Z4um for a while and greatly benefited from the help and advice there. I'm sure the spirit is the same here.
Happy driving

Hi All.
Many thanks for the welcome.
I have a 1 month warranty so I topped it off with a Tesco Warranty (it is just for peace of mind of course)
I have taken a few pics of the car today but do not wish to use photobucket.
It seems that a command should be used but I have no joy yet.
