Wow

Looks great. I feel you could do with a dog though - I can lend you one.

Driving impressions and e-start vids to come in time I hope.

Looks great!

In case the salesperson didn’t mention them: SET button on steering wheel turns off speed warning and M Mode Sport turns off lane assist

They did tell me about holding the Set button for 3 seconds to turn off the speed warning. I think there are other ways to turn off lane assist too but they didn't mention that one. I was planning to configure the M1 button to my preferred everyday settings to make it a one push thing.

Something I've seen mentioned (Harris and HarryM I think) is the size of the key. What they failed to mention is that your second key is a credit card so you can use that instead. Not sure I will because I am a luddite and like the key with buttons on it but in any case it's not massive like the stupid 7-series key which allows you to drive the car out of a parking space.

The most correct of colour choices, nice one Jobbo!

[Jobbo]

Cheers all - hopefully I'll become known for my exterior colour choices rather than interior...

[Mito Man]

Yep that’s a great colour

[Holley]

Very nice, probably the perfect car for you I'd imagine. Love the colour

[Jobbo]

Fucking complicated mind you. I've just spent an hour on the settings and realise I haven't done the drive modes

[DeskJockey]

That's a fantastic colour.

[jamcg]

That looks mega. Bright colours ftw

[Matty]

Woof The hips don't lie. That colour looks great.

Congrats, great paint, we need to park next to each other at the next forum meet-up.

I have Bimmercode if you want to turn off the speed warning, it drove me insane after 3 miles.



ps what colour is the interior?

ov9 forum purple car meet, Jobbo?

Not sure how many of us there will be beyond me and you and I might struggle to keep up

That colour really is wonderful

Yep, it’s right up there - it’ll take something exceptional to steal it back!

I've been eyeing Paul Wallace's purple Gallardo Superleggera very enviously but that's not going to be this year!
