Hope you Enjoy the ride back n love the car
Looking forward to it, but also sad to wave goodbye to the e85 this Sunday.
Yes indeed.Marlon said:Exciting or what!
Interested to here your first impressions comparing the two
Had a short drive in one on Sunday, and was impressed.
But the drive back after collection should give a better idea
North West Surrey
Great news OP.
Just hope the days don't drag too much!
I think you'll enjoy giving the 3 litre a work-out on the way home.
I always like a decent drive home when I collect a new car - I went from Berkshire to Rugby for my Z4! Just a shame it rained all the way, and was dark for most of the trip. :thumbsdown:

I’ll also be driving home in the dark, but I’m sure it’ll still be fun.Mr Tidy said:Great news OP.

Sorry if this throws a spanner in the works, but are you sure you want the 30i?
Nothing wrong with the engine, but the turbo'd cars have lower tax, lower fuel consumption and are quicker.
The 4 cylinder turbo engine are all the same (18i 20i 28i) and call all make 270hp with a single remap.
I posted this table to another thread yesterday, might be useful for you too.

He’s had one replaced recently at a cost of about 500
So will check the other, and then be ditching the run flats.
People don’t know the problem run flats cause

That should help, although I still had one crack after changing the tyres over to normal ones

It’s a constant problem with our roads, and the bigger wheels suffer more.
As have been advised in the past on here, you can help the situation with tyre profile sizes, but as most of us don’t want 17’s on the car, it’s a problem that could always occur.
Fingers crossed, and avoid potholes whenever possible, which I try to do.

Couldn't agree more about the runflats, wish I'd done it when I first got my 35i. The transformation is remarkable, handling to ride comfort all so much better. FWIW mine is now on Michelin PS.
Another vote up for checking the rims. I've just replaced my alloys with Alpina jobbies after 3 of the OEM set developed cracks... also not helped with sticking with runflats for 18 months
Enjoy your new ride
Four more sleeps
Actually quite excited now.
If I wasn’t so old, I’d feel young again.
Hoping the m sport seats are as good as people say spent so much time finding one that had them.
The m sport model was out of budget,so glad to have found one with the seats.
