Well picked up the 40d at last was meant to be Monday but the dvla at there best with the plate transfer.
Well I'm not missing the 4.8 as the they match in power and silky smooth gearbox , was a nice 40 mile drive back from the dealers with mixed motorway and twisty roads .
What a difference in the drive without the adaptive suspension , doesn't feel as harsh on the roads running on 20" run flats , I like the ride much better just can't throw it rounds bends like before but don't mind that.
Comfort seats missed these had them in my 4.8is , prefer them over the sport with alot more adjustment .
Do miss the heads up display was nice handy option to have .
Heated steering wheel another simple option but very nice in the winter months .
Adaptive headlights and high beam assist havn't had before and had a chance to try out as yet .
As for the wheels I'm not too sure about but I'm sure they will grow on me
Only options I wish it had were the pano roof and heads up display
Here is a few tasters till I've gave it a little detail and got the flys off the front ::)
Well hope the wife appreciate's it as she is the main driver , last photo is my ride for my disabled daughter and dogs just need my 20" alloys and my leather / alcantara interior retrim
