Alastair_A3 Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I like the look of the lemon but not sure whether it would stay clean for long. For me my fav is all black, which is what ive gone for on my bmw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I like all black too, but the 535d was all black, the 120d is all black, my A3 S-line was all black, the S4 was all black and I just needed a change. I originally would have ordered terracotta if I had ordered a new one, but after seeing it in the flesh I changed my mind, it looked really plasticky.

Gareth Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Looking good Guy I've driven both the 335i and 335d and they are both (especially in Touring form) about as much real world car that anyone would need. Wonder if my 330d is on borrowed time now..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do, after the CSL I thought I may have been disapointed, but I love it, being an estate it is a real Q car too. I liove on the petrol that it is so relaxed up to 4000rpm, you can trundle round all day and it feels like a 2.2 straight six, smooth and laid back, then get it to 4500rpm and it compltely changes,it really comes alive. As an all round package it is the best car I have owned, very quick whgen you need it, handles like a dream on the back roads and still gets 25mpg average, only got 26mpg from the 535d. I am sure you can get a nice one by the end of the week Gareth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pile Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Thx Gareth , i still have time to change my spec but even though i like Graphite im going to stick with Silver/Black. The only thing i might add is lumbar support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair_A3 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Scott i found that the 3 series sport seats didnt require lumbar support because of the inflatable sides, i drove to sheffield and back with no discomfort. The 5 series on the otherhand does need lumbar support. But i suppose its only £250 so you might aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pile Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I think im going to leave my spec now , ive got too many options as it is and im going to take enough of a kicking if i sell it ............ still looking forward to it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfer Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 [ QUOTE ] That is just the tracks showing from an MP3 CD on screen Sam. Get the dealer to put the new V25 software on your car before you collect. Looks alot cleaner and is faster too.

Waste of money IMHO. Are you going for Titanium Silver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
