Online entertainment is the use of streaming service rara.. And by all accounts it's not worth bothering with... If u have napster on ur phone better off using that... And no the internet uses the car SIM card.. And is quite slow by all accounts.

So really the question is, are you prepared to pay £1000 (or the monthly equivalent) for just a bigger screen? |

I forgot to mention, I had my test drive in 330d.
How on earth do you keep it under 30? With my 320d manual, I know from revs if I am over or close to limit or it tells me to change gear. But that auto box with the engine is so bloody smooth, I coughed and was doing 35. Almost feel sorry for 335d drivers.. |

Lol, I said almost, I admit the rest is outright jealousy.
Seriously, it is so easy to hit 30 /40 without thinking or knowing it. At least on a motorway, you have other cars to sort of gauge things. Oh and my insurance looks like it will be about £8 a month cheaper than current 320d. Bizarre. |

Off to London Monday.
Putting in order and deposit. 330d xdrive EBII Black leather ( as mentioned on another thread, it's more Batman than Superman). Msports + Vis pack Mirrors Elect front seats Protect and shine (no cost, so may as well try it). Will be haggling over servicing pack. Will go with Ala most likely for Gap insurance. Car insurance with BMW, decent quote, less than my current 320d msport (and appears less than 330 S drive). Unfortunately, my lease on current car is to June 17, however will hand back after May bank holiday. So I need to time my new car to arrive then - have holiday booked and need car lol. As lease is with BMW ( same dealer arranged it), I might try early hand over, however I doubt that's an option. Either way long bloody wait. Last edited by ....,,,,..,,..; 02-27-2014 at 09:14 AM.. |

UPDATE
I have eventually got order and build date.
Now this is to fit in to my return of current lease car, so it is a while off lol. Build is sitting at week 20 (12 April) So in my hands date is looking to sit between 09 - 16 June. Final order is: 330d xdrive EBII Black leather Msports + Vis pack Professional media Folding Mirrors Heated front seats Protect and shine (no cost, so may as well try it). Servicing pack Winter wheels (discount for next winter). Will be using ALA for gap insurance. Also looking at getting 'new car' detailing carried out by Midland car care (reviews depending). http://www.midlandscarcare.co.uk Oh well a very long wait, so anyone that thinks May is a long way off ....... |

Lovely spec, although I do wonder just how good for sales this forum is: after all, you started off saying "pretty basic spec", and what you've ended up with, er, isn't!

The only thing I'm feeling daft for not ticking now is the vis pack. I'm having the M-sport plus pack, so the vis pack is only a couple of hundred quid... It never appeared that cheap on the configurator though. Ah well, I'll live.

When I looked in to it further and chatted to dealers etc and had 330d test drive! 330d became an easy choice. The lighting pack actually dropped my monthly payments and as I was getting winters thrown in, decided to add heated seats. Just have to wait..... And wait....... |

Originally heated seats were out, I think for nearly 2 years of ownership I had them on say 6 times each winter. However decided on both. Options are a nightmare however at end of day it's pretty much personal choice heavily decided by budget. |
