Very nice indeed. Enjoy it. Particularly like the black exterior with the light oyster interior. Some more pics maybe? :)

I'll be interested to see how thirsty it is compared to the 3.0sd! Still shocked at how unrealistic the BMW figures are. Just did a trip to Hampshire and back from London and averaged 24 mpg! Mostly motorway, surely it should get better than that?

I thought Bridgestone Tyres were OK? What makes you dislike them?

BMWs seem to come with either these or Dunlop Sportmaxx tyres at present. My X6 has Dunlop's on the 20", although the 19" (which were converted to Winter tyres) were originally Bridgestone Duellers (now Pirelli Scorpions).

With regard to fuel economy, it's nowhere near the 'official' figures. Interestingly the US market has recently changed the way they do it and it's causing all kinds of fun about oil company conspiracies - which certain of the population absolutely adore of course. At least they now have more realistic data though. Should get in the low to mid 30's mpg wise from quite early on.

On the trip to Southampton, it did 34.4 return as per screenshot (computer calculation only of course).

Re the Bridgestone - I hated them on my first Z4, so the hatred has just stuck :D

Huge congrats on the new arrival. Superb spec and colour combo. Reminds me of my E60 530d. I absolutely love CB.

What does the internet option give? I assume that is the reason that my iPhone won't work with the apps ...
