As some of you might have known, I placed my order for F21 M135i ages ago but due to work and waiting for new plate, just picked it up from Riaz yesterday very nice chap and very helpful, honest and patient (believe me I am not the easiest customer )

Shame about the weather yesterday, drove about 130 miles through rain, hail storm and snow so just careful driving on the way home.

So far pleased with the car, not sure how led adaptive lights work with HBA in F21 as didn't see no dancing lights on the way home, just on and off I also noticed there are no drains on the scuttle panel, so the water just sits there!

Had a quick clean this morning and all ready for drive to work tomorrow

Have already fitted my pedal covers and rubber mats, just to do the footrest cover.

By the way, have a genuine bootmat for F30 for sale, used but in very good condition listed in for sale section

Will post a couple of photos later.

Don't believe the F20/F21 get the dancing lights. We have the adaptive LEDs on our LCI F20 and as you say it is just on/off. Not like the dancing lights I have on the F30 with adaptive Xenon

That's not good, as I did love the dancing lights so with regards of it being adaptive, what does it do???

As far as I can tell all it does is spread the beam wider at low speed and "turn in to the corner", and then of course on/off high beam assist

Hmm, thanks for that, need to look into this! Not end of the world but was a great feature

Definitely no dancing lights with 1 series adaptive LED's. I wasn't over impressed with mine and preferred the M235i adaptive xenon's. Adaptive LED's as already explained just auto dip, alter beam pattern (and maybe brightness) dependent on speed. Also turn into corners.

What's the spec on your m lite? You're in for a treat with her

That's a shame, noticed the brightness changed as the speed changed but missing my dancing lights

Nothing fancy, lights, HK, heated seats and steering wheel, mirror pack, comfort pack and grey shade band windscreen! Was very hard sticking to a budget

That's a pretty good spec, I'd like the mirror pack but can't justify the extra per month for something I don't need.

Got the mirrors and very impressed with dipping when there are cars behind, makes it easier to drive at night

I just noticed you went with fineline trim as well, looks great with red

fineline was a last minute change, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.
Yours looks pretty damn good

The only sun the car has seen was yesterday, it was covered with snow this morning

Damn you, that looks really good! I've already gone alpine white, mineral grey and now back to alpine white on my order. You posting pictures isn't helping, I'm already up to my maximum monthly budget

[philiper1]

Sorry, know the feeling too well (if you don't believe me, ask Riaz ) I was going for EB till the very last minute but suddenly change to MG! Your car has some great options on it

Think someone said his dealership business model changed and can no longer offer the deals.

But Tony TRL is the man to go to.

It was NTG who said that but you can always check with him, I am sure if he can do a deal, he will do his best
