Bought a 40d !
Bought a 40d !
Hi all - I've been gathering some useful info on this forum & have been looking for the right car & right deal for a few weeks now. Finally done it today & bought a 40d 2011 (61) plate. Carbon Blk, Black Nevada, Reverse camera, front seat heating, folding mirros. Pleased I've gone for this over the 30d which I was considering. Hopefully collect it from the dealer one day this week !

Yes, firm ride on runflats but I felt compelled to go M Sport over SE.

20's...... wasn't sure whether to go for 21" crab style wheels, but decided to stick with the M Sport 20's.

I'm pleased I opted for the 40. 30 would have been fine but the deal cost me no more by going for a 40d. Paperwork signed & collecting tomorrow!!!

Yep welcome the 40d club! You are going to love it. Still seems surreal to me that such a large heavy car can accelerate so hard. Like surfing a big wave ...

I opted for the 40d as there was so little difference between the 30d and 40 d pricewise especially as Trainers had the black one that my wife liked, but it didn't have any packs on it just sun protection and it had 19 inch whereas mine has dynamic and media with 20 inch and was 2.5k more.
