@Elliot its gonna be a lock down handover dont think the salesperson will be able to go through any of the tech with me. Any advice or anything I should look out for?
If you have had a BMW before you will have no problems as most of the settings are within the idrive system and the basic functions are via buttons. I love the reverse assistant which basically gets you out from wherever you are (eg. parking space) the same way you went into it. A new feature which I’m not too fussed about is the lane assist which gives feedback via the steering wheel if you cross a white line etc. You can switch this off in the idrive menu but next time you get back behind the wheels it’s switched on again. Another couple of features I like are the puddle lights which I activated and the interior mood lighting which has several different colours you can programme.
I’m currently averaging around 36mpg which to say the car hasn’t yet done 1k miles I don’t think is too bad especially as I don’t run it on the eco pro setting. The engine is silky smooth and quiet with the auto box being up to the usual BMW excellent standard with auto hold being a good feature. The heated seats are very comfortable and I did add lumbar support as an extra.
After having several 3 series in the past, I can honestly say this one is without doubt the best. You will love the way that it drives.
