At least qualify your comments and say why you think that way, especially as the 120d is the pick of the bunch engine wise according to many. rolleyes

Yes, a somewhat mixed response I must say.
Sorry to be a bit pedantic and all but is it comfy, do the seats adjust for tilt, is it as grunty as I hope it'll be? is it noisy? My old Vectra has awful tyre noise.

I've ordered it in Havanna with grey interior and cruise.....it'll probably be the ugliest car in the lot but at least I'll spot it easily enough biggrin

Loads of get up and go. Seats are very comfortable. Has run flat tyres but I don't mind them on this car.

I must be retarded too ! If something 'does the job' how can it also be 'especially st' ?!

No need for any flaming - just wondered what you meant ?

Oh dear, one of those is it rolleyes

Maybe an explaination why you think the 120d is especially st would give your opinion at least an ounce of credibility?

Not wishing to fan the flames, but I always thought ES meant 'extra ste'? Not in terms of the car, but the spec (manual a/c, no pdc). However, after just checking the BMW site I may be incorrect as there is now an even more basic spec'd model. So, new acronym required.
