Sounds like your halfway to getting one already Muddy . You should try and convince SWMBO into it . It would be rude not to .

Unfortunately after way LR have treated me in recent years I don't think I can pay the money they're asking for one and enjoy it  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

A used one maybe ? Big saving .

Also you could move to Devon - good independent dealer here

Buying used and indi servicing is one alternative I've considered subject to evidence of reliability - Devon is a bit far though

Used FFRR appear to be similar priced to RRS same age so look good value second hand  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Just an update for anyone that is still following my boring BMW thread......

Hand over was yesterday.

Loaded onto a covered trailer to transport to detailer, for a new car detail and PPF fitting, to hold back those stone chips that seem to target new cars...

If these are your sentiments now then I wonder what it would be like after a few weeks of actually owning and driving it I feel for the poor unloved ultimate driving machine

PS: I bet it is tempting to close the lid and rev it hard inside that container. Enjoy, not long to go now  Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Not my sentiments, Fkarim, quite a few BMW haters out there...

It's been a long wait, so i am looking forward to driving it on Tuesday.

Nah, now if it had have been the M4 i heard start up in the showroom yesterday, Then i would have been tempted.

For the record I am not one of the "haters". I considered getting one myself and may well do so in future. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

For me, this 335d ticked all the boxes. I also think i ticked almost all the options boxes too...

I see you've debadged it Ady

Recently ordered a 320i M Sport for the Mrs to replace her SE, fantastic motors  2019 BMW X3 2.0i M Sport in metalic black- Brilliant
2014 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Atlantic Grey, replaced with 2018 Frost White Outlander PHEV, can't fault em - now gone
2012 SDV6 HSE in Orkney Grey, Privacy Glass & Side Steps (notice a theme)! - Even better but now gone
2009 TDV6 HSE in Stornoway Grey, 20" alloys, Privacy Glass & Side Steps - Fantastic! but gone

Yes Mike.
I'm sure i will surprise a few cars at the traffic light GP...
This is my 1st BMW i have bought. Had a few company BM's over the years, but they were 320's and 520's. Both petrol.

I bet the Mrs is looking forward to the new 320. When does she take delivery?

A couple of weeks, originally test drove the 235i M Sport but it scared the s**t out of me, a definite points catcher !

Decided on the 320i petrol as its quick enough and she only does minimal mileage so no need to go the diesel route
