What happened to the black one the dealer had available for you? What colour did you go for this time?

My dealer was sourcing it from another dealer down in Oxford - About 4 days after i put my deposit down they called to say that the dealer in Oxford were dragging their heels and it looked like they had a customer for it already!!

So i just told them to get me a factory ordered car in exactly the same spec

( Sapphire Black )

Have a great day mate and enjoy your new car.

Just out of interest, where is TRL based?

I think he is in Kent I believe - or somewhere around that part of the world.

Hi guys! Thanks for the messages. Just got back and I am in love. Everything smells so fresh...hmmm

Had a great day down in Kent with the TRL crew.

She was all ready and waiting in the shop window. It just looks amazing. I toyed a lot on the colour but really glad I went with glacier silver in the Msport trim. The colour shows off all the lines and shadows really well.

Had a really good handover. Was all ready to go and leave the dealership with her and guess what...car wasn't starting. I sat there for 5mins trying to figure to out and open and close the locks etc. a bit worried that I was incapable of starting a car I went back in and asked them. Of course I completely forgot you need to put your foot on the brake before hitting start! Lol

Anyway...decent 45min drive back from Kent to Surrey along the m25 and enjoyed the ride. It's a thing of beauty I tell ya. I have the 320i but it was effortless on the motorway and a few times tested out overtaking capabilities!

Satnav was bothering me a bit as I am coming from a tom tom. Normally there is a coloured route showing direction. On the pro Nav it's white. Can this be changed?

Anyway, need to read the manual and figure out some toys!

Congrats

Of course I am bound to point out that

Enjoy

Glad I'm not the only one!

Really nice mate. Congrats!

brommy · 03-22-2014, 10:46 AM

Congratulations ktbmw!

Great looking car.

I assume Alex and the team looked after you well?

PrinceBarin · 03-22-2014, 10:48 AM

Stunning.

ktbmw · 03-22-2014, 10:55 AM

Cheers guys...

Can anyone answer this?

Satnav was bothering me a bit as I am coming from a tom tom. Normally there is a coloured route showing direction on the main screen. On the pro Nav it's white. Can this be changed?

Plus I was only getting direction in the black panel display and not on the pro Nav screen?

dazzapb · 03-22-2014, 11:09 AM

Congrats! That is the same handover bay I got my baby in lol.
Re; nav there is a myriad of options dude I would spend a few hours playing with options etc. (I do this when misses goes into shops

) as you find new things all the time.

One tip I found is that the option button can bring up context sensitive option menus so check this as well.

Again congrats!
