The M3 is a very different drive from any other BMW 3 Series or most cars. I took Mrs BKHK out for a drive last night withe every setting in ultra Nanna mode and she still thought it was like a race car in a 3 Series body, actually, she is quite right.

So.....Mr Ady, seems you are following my car trend again....I got a revised shape sport, then so did you. I got a 335dx, and now you are too......would you like me to give you details of the Merc dealer I've just ordered our GL350 from

By the way, if you got +44mpg on your 550 mile trip, I can only assume your wife was driving the demo too

BKHK - lovely choice on the M3 Sir Rumours are that an M3 Touring is around the corner, I've asked my dealer to keep me informed ....I guess Ady will then be looking for one of those

Muddy - from what I've read of the recap on here, it seems you are still carrying around a rain cloud of bad luck, I hope that lifts for you soon.......oh, and a Disco Sport.........what are you thinking man!!!! ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Yup, that's right 362.

I'll pop a post up about it soon. Love the Disco4 but fancy a change and the GL is very nice. Won't be a patch on the D4 off road, but with a set of winters it'll do everything well ask if it.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Hi Bean

Great to hear from you again. Why not stick around, there are a few of us old members who don't currently do the RRS but we are still here. Yep, loving the M but they are a bit frustrating in our nanny state world........

GL is a monster. I think it's called the GLS now or about to be.

Update .
Been into my dealer today having canceled my original order due to several missed delivery dates
Re ordered my new car with a guaranteed March 1st delivery.

Yes, guaranteed. ....

Yes, they've just facelifted it, thought about holding on, but 15% off an identical looking car, we decided to stay with the 'old' GL....will be debadged anyway, so only a hawk eye would notice.

I'll be hanging around, don't you worry......or maybe you should  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
