Burr Walnut
Bluetooth
DAB
Sun Protec glass


Thinking of speccing a new 320d, while the light interiors look great, I reckon just too hard to look after. So, its Coral again or Saddle?
SG is also great, but....want a change...! So if its Coral or Saddle I think it has to be Black or Silver?
Auto is definite
C.C. Screen is good value with auto wipers and lights (imo)
Mats are now std!! Whooopeee
Elec seats....hmmm....now cheaper, but still £590...
Seat heating - essential with leather (imo)
Walnut - think I'll go poplar this time - alum trims just look cheap to me...
Bluetooth - definite
Sun Protec glass - again, definite - practical and looks good

Want 225 wheels this time

Which leaves whether or not to Nav.....????

Views/Opinions?
Get the nav and the leather, but drop the other options and use the money saved to cover the extra for a 330d ( or better yet 330I )

yeah...yeah....very good.....but I'm choosing the 320d for its cheap BIK bill, rather than the actual purchase price....

Well yes and no......

Just opens another can of worms......I choose to run this on company as I think it is most effective route for me (a few factors to take into account outside of all the normal ones... )...but constantly under review!!

That will be a stunning car and I'm not remotely jealous. Really.

I'd leave option 205 alone personally but what a great car. What's delivery like? 8 weeks?

Thanks mate!

Not sure on delivery but should know later today when I sign on dotted line...

Fair enough on the auto, but I have this as the daily driver and keep my (manual) Lotus for weekend thrills.

Just been confirmed that it will indeed be the new hard drive satnav with new iDrive with shortcut buttons - almost worth £2k then.............

That's fair comment. The auto is much better than it was on the e46 (my last....) and it does seem to suit the diesel well.

Sod it. I am officially jealous!

Black with the red leather and iDrive gubbins will be fantastic.
