Got my 35i today WOW what a cracking car!
Well guys I finally picked up my 2009 35i today and my first thoughts are wow what a fantastic car!
I pulled up at the dealer and there it was parked up and it looked so aggressive it is black with red leather and is a 2009 car with only 23,500 miles on the clock, the condition is superb with the odd few stone chips on the bonnet which are hard to see but it is 5 years old and it can't be perfect can it, but the condition is just lovely and the interior is pretty much unmarked the only thing I missed on test drive and only noticed it on the way home were two small chips in the windscreen, they were very close together and are near the top of the screen so they aren't really an issue.
So far the run flats feel absolutely fine it didn't tram line on the motorway whereas my E85 did that straightaway so fingers crossed that I might be ok with the run flats, the DCT box is wonderful but the idrive is a mystery at the moment and as for the navigation I have no idea how to sort that out
The ride quality on the 19" 296 wheels is absolutely superb I had read some reviews saying it was a very hard ride but to me it is perfect I just can't stop staring at it as that car is a piece of art and it looks so good in black

Hehe Andy I haven't had chance and we are just having an extension finished so things are a bit hectic here I will try and take some but my car cleaning stuff isn't at the house so it is tricky washing cars at present, but I can tell already that I am going to love this car, we are going away up to the Scottish Highlands in May and that car will be taking us up there into wildernessmr wilks wrote:The pics aren't working Andy

Thanks guys and I appreciate the offer of help if needed and I will need it
I just went out in the dark to unlock it and look at the door handles lighting up simple pleasures I know but it looked great and made me happy
