Took her for a little spin with the mrs managed to knock off work for a couple of hours. The look of the car is down right sexual in person! So happy with my choice now to get used to the blue beast!

Pictures will come soon enough.

Special thank you to rich1068 on here for putting me in touch with Mike. Transaction was smooth and fast.

Actually I think I spotted it this afternoon. If you're on Chesterfield Road near the lights/junction with Woodseats Road. If you are... nice

You are correct Sir

From the link in your sig I knew you were up there somewhere. And Estoril Blue is a little easy to spot.

People have commented most on the colour saying how fresh and different to other blues it looks. I just can't stop smiling. Going out for a night time drive later to try the Xenons.

If you've got the active headlight assist you're in for a real treat after dark!

Just a quick one on my crappy phone + Clouds were out so it was dark.

Looks stunning, congrats!! The EBII really stands out.

[sunscreemer]

Cloudy, moody, skies make the EBII look good IMO. It's like a colour for all seasons ;-)

I agree with the other poster it looks like you have a blue filter on your camera looks awesome in the gloom. Good enough for me to make my mind up on colour EBII it is - Mineral grey looks fantastic in the sun but in the shade its very dull.

My wife said to me I think your silver 320d was a better colour!!! but when you've had 4 silver cars previously it was time for a change and boy does the colour change in different lighting.

Looks great, congrats

She even watches me whilst I work... On a serious note, I thoroughly enjoyed the car last night. The ride quality and power is like nothing I have even had before (Apart from when I tracked a Gallardo for my 18th). The tech in this car is confusing but at the same time amazing.

So glad I went BMW and not the Audi route although I love some audis this car is definitely more suited to me!

Really nice - definitely nicer than silver. Do the M-Sports have a different exhaust note or is it the same as the standard 328's?

Exhausts are the same between M Sport and the other models...

Thanks for the info.

Is there a plenum or flap that opens at a certain revs in the exhaust ?

I think it opens up both pipes after 3000 rpm, we were discussing it in the Swedish forums earlier. Apparently you can hear the exhaust note change.

Nice touch methinks.
