I really like this car. It’s brilliant! Not since my M3 Evolution Saloon (5 cars ago in 2005) have I owned a car that’s felt so vastly competent on the road.

In any case, I’ll stop dribbling about it and tell you what’s new. Tyre pressures were a bit down, so that’s been sorted. Here are a few pictures of it outside my gaff:

I’ve ordered a few bits from BMW too: a cubby hole compartment to replace the mess that is the broken rear cup holders, new front cup holders to replace the Traffic Master panel in the centre console, and a cover for the positive terminal under the bonnet (missing).

I’ve also got the number of someone in Southampton who fixes the dashboard display pixel problem. I’ll call them tomorrow and see what I can arrange.

Oh, I’m getting 20 to the gallon at the moment. It’s fantastic.
