Given that a set of MPS4S cost about that, I would be tempted to order with runflats and have the dealer switch them with MPS4S on arrival. You might get £400 back for the set of delivery mile runflats on ebay.

I take your point. Difficult to tell from the video but could they be run flats?

Why oh why have they fitted the new 3 series with an electric handbrake

I had one in my 5 series and they are utter crap

They're all autos so it doesn't really matter.

But they do give you the auto hold function so you don’t have to keep your foot on the brake at red lights and in traffic jams etc. I’ve got it on my F30 with ACC and it definitely makes driving more convenient.

I think I've put my finger on what I'm struggling most with on this new model. It is growing on me I think, but the tail lights remind me too much of the marmite M Performance 'Black line' units for the F30. Its the black and red color scheme they've got going on, that and they're a bit too bubbly looking - in pictures at least.

I rather like Portimao Blue, but having told my other half, who prefers discrete colours, that I had to go for Estoril this time as it was the only new stock 335d I could get with the right options, she might be a little suspicious if I use the same excuse again

Haha I wish you luck this time round

Some kind of red would be good, let's see what new colours come out in a few months.

Nowt wrong with Grigio Minerale either

There is a red, seen it in a pic on stage looks very vibrant

How do we find out the delivery charge?

Circa £700 I think

On the Z4 though so I'd like to see it on a G20.

4 door Z4 labelled as 320d then....

Looks much brighter than Melbourne which is great but maybe hard to tell under show lights.

They must have moved things around as when I was there, the only red was the Z4, the G20s were Portimao and Mineral White.

Looking at this pic, there's still a market for ACS springs on the M340i

Hopefully not as it's on the road. Let's just agree on "it hasn't settled yet" before people compare it to the wheel arch gap on a Lexus.
