Growing on me

Fast enough to be interesting, good enough mpg and boot space to make it practical. I thought for a while about one of these, especially after seeing the ridiculous Clarkson clip ! I bought the car from a main dealer after searching for a while for the right spec, adaptive m sport chassis, sunroof, pro media, black leather, michelin pilot super sports. A few m performance parts had been added to the car, carbon graphite wing mirrors and black front grill which was a bonus, plus the car came with a service inclusive package, 50000 miles or 5 years. Had a couple of minor things sorted out under warranty. At the moment I'm trying to sort out some winter wheels and tyres, something which really needs to be factored in when buying a BMW. The car gets a lot of admiring looks, I dont think the 'ugly' badge is fair, probably more of a jealousy thing. Its definitely growing on me as a pratical, quick, daily driver.
