New Car comes in 4! Days!:D

I know its not a Civic, but as a Civic owner (For another 4days?) I thought I'd post some news about my new car.

Should be getting my 2007 BMW 318I SE M-Sport with M-sport 18" wheels, in Le Mans Blue on the coming Thursday!

Got the 6CD Changer as upgrade, Gay thing is, they even charged me on the Floor mats! (£75) but then again they did knock of about 3K on a brand new car!(0Miles done)

Anyways, GoodBye to Civic on wendsday/ thursday Had a good time with it in the period of time Ive had it for

Aren't they an optional extra on Beemers?

Having owned an M3, I can confirm that indicators are fitted, and serviceable. I can only conclude that most drivers had ticked "Finger-removaltronic" and the dealer surgically severed the owners' fingers whilst explaining how to hard wire the fog lights on. Or perhaps the aforementioned fingers are always so busy gesticulating at other drivers that they never have the opportunity to operate the stalk.

On the rare occasions that I had it when it wasn't being serviced (at £1000 a pop) it was known as the tractor (and a few other names, which sadly the nanny state has ensured would be illegal to post here).

Danko - good luck with it. And remember to really shock other road users by driving courteously!

I'm just about to change my Beemer for a Civic in 2-weeks so I can confirm that other drivers are generally very discourteous to a BMW driver ie. not letting you pull in or out from junctions, lane changes etc.

However as Pottsy say if you are nice and let other drivers in on slip roads, indicate and generally drive 'normally' it completely confuses/baffles them.

Best wishes for your new car

Im well happy!


P.s I do notice the car being very high up, its because its on suspension block or somthing, this is to stop the car from rocking about during shipping/transport in the lorry.
