Saying Hello - New to BMW - UK
Hello!
Just picked up my first BMW last weekend, having had 3 Audi's from new, going for a used BMW was a big change. Based in Leeds, UK Car is an 435i M-Sport Convertible, spec is as follows: Black Sapphire Metallic Coral interior 18k mileage Production date Dec - 2013 The garage didn't even know the optional spec of the car, so I pulled the following from the BMW VIN checker, not sure what the 'packages' are, anyhow here goes: Adaptive LED headlights HUD Convertible pack (seats, neck warmer, steering wheel) M Sport brakes Sport Automatic Transmissionnn Double spoke 442 wheels Variable Sport Steering Navigation professional (Apps, connected drive, remote services) Harman Kardon sound system Reversing camera Adaptive M suspension Storage package Light package Driver Assistance Pack As this is my first BMW, I have a tonne of questions regarding infotainment, lighting etc. Photos at the garage, not been able to take proper ones yet - I've been too busy enjoying the sound.     Here's a video the garage took of it Previous car was an A5 Cabriolet, 2.0, S-Line. Cheers all Last edited by dcartner; 06-07-2017 at 07:34 AM.. |

Sweet color; and I don't even like black! Coral really pops with top down.
Great time to buy in UK - two-three months of top-down time coming up! |

Great combo. Great car. And you're in Leeds! So drive with the top down every moment you get. The rule for my cab is top down (unless it's raining) between 50 and 95F. I may have the windows up and the heat or a/c blasting - gut it's a cab dammit! Enjoy.
