lol thanks for the advice. I'm guessing you found out the hard way!sars said:Welcome to the Exclusive E89 Club
Just a word or two of advice. check the alloys on inside of the rims for cracking before you accept delivery and be aware that the furthest part forward of the car is the bit in between the kidneys ..... not the number plate

No I don't have these wheels, style 296, but nearly everyone on here who has them, has had a problem with the rears cracking, NIckm has just had all his replaced by BMW with 326M's after replacing 3 or so wheels in a year, see post below

Hence the advice to check them thoroughly before you take ownership
I meant about the furthest point forward of the car, but thanks for the advice about the wheels anyway.sars said:ryukin said:lol thanks for the advice. I'm guessing you found out the hard way!sars said:Welcome to the Exclusive E89 Club

When I had a look in the boot, there's a big tray that needs to be pulled down if you want to be able to have the the roof down. It seems to take up quite a lot of the boot space (height wise) but the boot seems bigger overall than the old model. With the tray up it's almost practical.goon said:
That's just from first glance though, so maybe I'll feedback on it when I've lived with it for a while.
I'm sitting here thinking how much my car looks exactly like the one behind your new one and wishing I was doing the same on the trade up.
I thought I liked the deep sea metallic blue but man that grey color pops. It's making me second guess wanting blue.
Did you have to specially request a DVD player? Or did that come standard/option with "navigation package"? I don't remember seeing anything about a DVD player on the build your own BMW USA website.

DVD seems to be standard with the navigation. I asked if the sat nav worked from a dvd and they said no it's on a built in hard drive, so the dvd player is just for playing dvds - only with the handbrake on thoughGandos said:
I was thinking about blue too. The colours I really wanted though were black or white, but when I saw the Space Grey in the flesh it looked amazing.
Enjoy, have a blast

I try and not think about it nor think about buying another car!
For those of you asking about boot space, here are some pics:
It's bigger than the old boot and still fits a bag of golf clubs in there but only if you don't want the roof down. If you want to be able to have the roof down, the shelf needs to be down (in photo 2). It's not a big deal because there's still a decent amount of room under the shelf, but you can't put storage on top of the shelf or to the sides of it if it's down.
