Very excited!!
Registered January 2010
pick up Thursday

I'm pretty sure it has the hardrive iDrive? It certainly looks like it -
Carbon black paint that looks almost dark blue in the light
Panoramic sunroof is amazing
Does anyone know if I can buy a phone cradle to fit an iPhone 5? The one in there is for the pref owners phone. Will the phone then just charge or will it sync with the car's computer?
There's also an input in cable whole next to the cradle which I presume is to play the iPod/iphone through but not to have any control over it?
I also presume you can bluetooth the phone through the system?

Also I just out of interest checked out the bmw warranty cost (it comes with one year but I was interested in rough cost) and with comprehensive it quotes just under £1700! Mileage is at 68,000 and I know the warranty is meant to
be good but that seems an awful lot if money - any comments?

well maybe it got confused by the fact that it still has a year to run on the existing mondial warranty they have given me from the dealer? Hope so!

Thanks - my dealer told me that an EU ruling means that car dealers can't offer warranties anymore (which seems a bit silly), hence the Mondial is the only option
My car is already over 68,000 so that monthly option won't wash with me sadly ...
