Picked up my new F31 this morning
Hi all,
See photos attached, not many as the heavens opened just after the collection and intro to all the controls! Very pleased already, only driven 50 miles but was impressed from the off. Need to try the adaptive lights tonight now

Lovely looking motor.....enjoy
EDIT: Was going to say, MG was my second colour choice, and would have gone coral too. Last edited by NISFAN; 12-08-2012 at 11:35 AM.. |

Looks superb. I really enjoyed the F31 demo I had. Just a shame the contract hire deals didn't extent to the Touring.
And I have heard that Mineral Grey is the fastest colour |

PS the lady in the car (your other half?) doesn't have the usual "why is he taking photos", "can we go shopping now" face on

Looks great, definitely the best colour combo What's with the orange front indicator bulbs though, thought they were meant to be clear (spec on BMW website says they are)?

Nice. My F31 was also delivered to my front door this morning at 7am! Same colour, alloys and xenons. Very very happy, car looks and drives awesome. Only driven 10 miles today but off to Cambridge tomorrow so we'll see how she performs on a longer run.

On another note, the boot liner from the E91 is a pretty good fit for the F31, it's short of maybe 2cm on the sides, but good enough not to spend another £70 on the F31 one. |

I think they mean clear lenses, then they always put orange bulbs in - every manufacturer seems to do the same!

51 71 2 240 775 51 71 2 240 778 £70 ish rings a bell. Very easy to fit, the web guides tell you to remove bolts and a seal, but you can do it without I found it easier to just use fingers through the grill front to press in the tabs. Cheers, Mat
