I drove it for a while on the weekend; pure pleasure. It's a really refined sporting saloon - exactly what I wanted. I didn't even take it past 4k RPM - really easy cruising in Comfort mode.

My wife drives it most of the time (during the week) because she has to drive to work (I work in the core so I don't bother driving in). Her only requirements were that (i) the car has four doors and (ii) the car is automatic. So, needless to say, she's happy with it for her commuting purposes. And I'm happy with it for my more enthusiastic purposes as well.
It was a really hard decision for me in terms of colour. Absolute toss up between AW and EBII. Another one in the mix was Tanzurite Blue. If I would have gotten AW, the combo you chose would have been a no brainer for me! Yeah, my interior is black, with the blue strip and hex trim. BMW do make their cars easy to enjoy, so..... enjoy!
