Hi, I just ordered a 118i

Hi Everyone,
My apologies if there is a new member section on this forum, I couldn't find it. Last Saturday I ordered my new BMW 118i .

I live in Sydney, Australia and have been driving a Ford Falcon for the past 2 years. I love driving, I have a passion for cars, and have always had a soft spot for BMWs. With the recent increases in fuel prices I thought it was time to down-grade in size but upgrade in build quality and performance, hence my recent purchase.

This will be my first brand new car, I ordered Metallic (Sapphire) Black, Beige Leather Interior, Cruise, Bi-Xenon Lights and the Lights Package. I have already heard negative comments on the styling of the 1 series hatch, but to be honest, I love it. Taking one for a test-drive is what ultimately led to me placing my order.

The only negative is October 2008 delivery. How do I pass the time?

I hope I can contribute to the forum,

Alex

Welcome Alex -

I'm new too, with just a mere 40 posts or so under my belt.

I can't wait to drive this car and attend some of the meets.
This is a very friendly, informative and useful site. I've been reading as much as possible.

Btw, CONGRATS on your :roundel:!

I would guess that just as 99.99% of us here, you will end up compulsively checking on the status of your order every day on the 800# and owner's circle. I thought it wouldn't happen to me, but had to join the week 14 support group.

Anyways, good luck, welcome, and enjoy the experience!

what wheels are you getting? I think the hatch looks a lot better with the Msport pack. Here are some pics of mine :biggrin: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12164

Did you consider a 120d? I think the 118i can be quite thirsty when you push it?
