They have sent identical vehicle to one I ordered with delivery miles but it's their demo so couldn't give it to me and use mine when it arrives

Interestingly the dealer is no longer stratstone now and is LR owned - I've never heard of this before - anyone else heard this? Are LR taking control of dealerships to improve customer experience?

This is getting way

I looked at an SQ5, but that is all i did, was look. It just didn't do anything for me. I fancied the new RS3 but having a border collie, my vehicle choice had to be an estate. So settled for the 335d. I like a vehicle with a bit of grunt.

Well Ady, your 335d X drive may still be on the way but after 3 fun months, I have decided to trade my (brilliant fast comfortable and fun) 335i ...........and get something else.

So, after threatening for a few months, I am collecting my new white F80 M3 tomorrow. I can't wait. The BMW Experience driving days have done their job, sold me an M3!

You should have taken it our Ady.... the SQ5 is quite fun and boasts some pretty big claims (?) I think they quoted that only the Cayene Turbo was quicker to 60 in the 4x4s

Still on the way.... that is a joke.
It's almost as bad as Muddys delivery lead times.
I should be taking delivery this week
Unfortunately not. It won't be built until week 51. Dec 21st I've told my dealer that I don't want it now till March 1st 2016 which he isn't happy about and tells me they can't hang on to it till then... Join my club I said. My dealer is looking into what can be sorted.

Nice 1 BKHK. Very nice, my mate has one and it is an awesome car. Sleepless night for you tonight then...

Yes Muddy, but might as well wait for March 1st and get it on a 16 plate for the sake of a few more weeks.

A little video of that M3 on a run out we had up North Yorkshire..
Turn up your speakers to hear his modified exhaust.

Not to everyone taste I get that. But that is fresh from the factory. Each to their own.

Looking forward to seeing yours Ady , did you ever consider the 5 series GT ? ( I know it's not available with xdrive).

No, i have to consider my border collie jumping in and out of the back, hence the Tourer.

Perhaps the steering wheel was also broke in both the cars in front of the camera car too. Or did you fail to observe their manoeuvre?
