Collected at last !

Post by Bob1098R » Sat Jan 10, 2015 12:36 pm

Picked her up on Wednesday,
Very impressed,highlights so far HUD & Active Cruise will be great when towing,
Performance wise I'll have to wait till i can get her on a run,its snowing heavy just now...
Idrive is much better & the online manual is quick & easy to navigate,
Still got loads to learn but couldn't be happier,
Ordered the black grilles though,full stealth mode >:DImage

That is tidy.  8)  More pics please!

Would it be rude to ask the list price?

Cheers.

+1. Grills are easy to swap around so as you've ordered the black ones see how they go but like kjb1 I would stick with the current colour.

Lovely - what spec? 30d or 40d?

Go in between with black grills and chrome surround possibly - may be too black as 535dboy states. I'm not a big fan of all black, sorry.

Otherwise, it's an F15 and I can only dream so you did good!  :)

Looks good as is and the grilles are a good contrasting colour combo, but each to their own.  I'm not a fan of all black, it needs breaking up a bit.

Let me know if the black or silver grill is better in the snow !  I'd have happily chucked my seats out if it would have helped !
