Hi Newbi Here

Hi,

I am about to pick up my first new BMW 3 series Coupe M Sport in Alpine White this month. My last BM was a red P reg 3 series compact of which I enjoyed fully. I currently have a Kuga Titanium X however, chopping it in for the New BM.

My first car at 17 was a LHD french poo 5 GTL then the following:

• Fiat X19 custom sprayed fantastic car in the dry: wet however, Um! (Mate wrote that of in Germany)
• Mark 4 Cortina brown (front left bearing went during my youngest daughter's birth)
• french poo Fuego (chopped it in for Mitsu)
• Mitsubishi 2.ltr Galant Saloon (A Friday car) Poxy thing
• Mark 3 Golf GTI (hated it)
• french poo Laguna enjoyed
• Kawazaki GPZ 900 thoroughly enjoyed (then the Kids interfered)
• Mitsubishi 2.Ltr Galant Hatchback (turns out originally purchased from the same place as my original Mitsu)
• Mazda 323f sport great car still miss it
• BMW Compact again loved this car (Only red Car that I enjoyed for both ride and Colour)
• 2010 New Performance Blue Focus ST sorry but this was Wow! (155 MPH achieved)
• 2011 Kuga Titanium (awaiting for new ST)
• 2012 Kuga Titanium X (Still awaiting for new ST)
• 2013 Disappointed in both Face lifts for New ST and Kuga
• 2013 Looking forward to my new BM

Happy driver

Welcome, never owned any French poo.

Somebody had too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, is it me or when a dealer has you signed up they Stuff you over and lie like a Japanese Watch. Note: car still not arrived and his buddy told me it was not even built, funny old thing he had told me it was built two weeks ago.

What did not help his bud ringing every day saying "they have put another bolt on your car". To which he says now he is back it was built and I will phone you first thing Monday morning to confirm collection! now Friday and no phone call :( What time is it in Tokyo

Hi all have my new car Wow!

Couple of Questions if you can help:

Q1. 493 Extended storage: 'One Luggage strap' on my 318 consisted of a rubber strap not received, is this still the case.

Q2. Where is the button for opening the boot if you are inside the car and someone out side wants access

Q3. Have Business Enhanced Blue tooth with telematics: but what they did not say was you have to buy phone insert @ a cost of 85 Euros but, it will only charge phone as it will not play Music. Am I missing the point or have been conned as I was told it would do everything charging Music etc etc .....

Q4. My steering is very heavy as if I did not have power steering, although a friend says that's normal however, I am sure the steering should get heavy at speed and not at a snails pace. I saw the same car albeit LHD move in reverse with the driver turning his wheel with the palm of his hand at ease. Mine will not do that? Noting other sports models in other makes ST/Kuga I had three setting I could use.

Other than the initial teething issue I do think it is great.

Yours :)
