Update on my recent pick up.
Hi all,
I have put about 600 miles on my car since I picked it up on Friday. I'm still looking for any excuse to take it out for a spin. A few areas I've been particularly impressed by. The Sports Auto gearbox. To sum up in a few words it makes driving near effortless. I don't think I will ever go back to a manual gearbox after this. Maybe I'm just getting lazy as I get older but what a pleasure it is to drive. The adaptive headlights. So coming back from Leeds yesterday I had the chance to try them out for the first, what a difference they make. seeing them adjust to the ever changing surroundings without any input from me. Suffice to say I'm as happy as a pig in shit  my wife on the other hand is fed up with me banging on it. Cheers all Jay

Also, Sport Auto and Visibility Pack are real highlights. I followed a mate the other night and he described it as like "Being followed by a Pink Floyd laser light show!"... I'm also about the 600 mile mark and I'm sure the car is noticeably loosening up. Looking forward to it being ran-in ready to play with. Keep enjoying your new toy.

I did read a thread on here a while back and there was a chat about BMW maybe limiting the cars for the first x amount of miles. I dunno, whatever it is I love the car.

I've been 'Comfort' only so far. When it's been fully warm I've done a couple of surprisingly rapid overtakes. However, the 8AT changes at 3500rpm... Supporting the car protecting itself... At 600 miles, and a slightly higher ambient air temperature, my economy seems a couple if mpg better and I'm less 'grannying' it now...
