Is it the new F30? If so, what color and interior did you chose?

Nah, it's the E91LCI touring model, which aesthetically I find more pleasing. Also, if you're going to have 4doors anyway, the bigger boot is an easily added bonus. The car's all black, black rims, black nose finns, no chrome on the doors. It's my first car and I have a special affinity for it. If things go well though, there may also be an F30 M3 in my life a couple of years from now ;)

I am very much in love with what I have though, this car just feels so balanced on the street, the feedback is brilliantly direct without being incomfortable, just an amazing little machine. I will post images as soon as I find time to make some :)

Enjoy it, it is an amazing little machine.

Will post some pics of both my Tourings, must take some time to do it.

If he lent me his rocket-launching Aston for half a day, I might let him have it. He does have a worrying tendency to destroy his cars though... So the deal has to have a Q-will-repair-it-just-in-case warranty in it...

In the meantime, I took her to Italy and through Centovalli today, the most amazing mountain road, massive fun to drive and absolutely scary at times... Right now she's in Davos on her way back to Zurich, enjoying a rest while I have dinner :)

It was magnificent indeed, sunshine, breathtaking sights, both on lake Geneva (i stayed in Lausanne over the weekend, so I got to share that awesome lake view you have down there this morning) and in the mountains. One can hardly wish for more, at least on a Sunday in late march... :)

And the best part is, between Friday night and now, I have circled the whole country (about 800 Km) using no more than two thirds of a fuel tank. Google maps estimates one'd take 25% more than that (they say fuel for the trip would cost an estimated 122 CHF, whereas filling up two thirds of my tank would take more like 80-90 CHF). So, here's to the environment then :strummin: :thumbsup: :strummin:

It doesn't look like it, but it's a green day today ;)

Too true, I don't suppose you could describe it as sailing or boating either..............

No wonder you list your navi world as "past"... It probably lived just up to the first ride on that thing... Three bars of water resistance are overrun by just looking at it ;)
