New 118d for the wife - Questions

Well the wife has just taken delivery of a new 118d M-Sport in Crimson red - one of only 3 left in the country. For some reason BMW are stopping making the M-Sport varients in red??? She who must be obeyed had to have a red one and ordering one to her spec wasn't possible. So we found one almost right at the local dealers.

Quite a basic spec:-

18" Alloys
Comfort Pack
Sun Protection Glass

Having had a drive today quite impressed. Drives really well and not like a small car at all. Having just put it into the garage i was surprised to see it's only a few inches shorter than my 330d.

Just got to sort out some after market Bluetooth and Satnav for her quickly before she starts moaning...........any ideas???

I had my 330d from there 18 months ago and all went well. 5/5

This time we had a lot of un returned calls and we ended up chasing them for stuff. only 3/5 this time.

They are OK - it's just round the corner from where i live although i work in Evesham.

I've always had a Parrot ck3100 installed in my cars and have always been more than hapy with them! You can get a module to integrate the steering wheel controls too

Parott kit fitted and integrated with the stering wheel controls - well happy!

Just need to fit door tweeters next - the sound quality is very poor indeed.
