I've had the F20 118d Sport in crimson red now for almost 2 months. Sorry I have no pics, I don't have any on this PC! but i'll get some sorted soon!
I initially HATED the new 1 series. However, ever since first sitting in it, it's grown and grown on me! Inside, it's so much nicer than the previous 1 series. I know it's only a subtle change, but it's brilliant. Brushed aluminium centre console, red stripe accross the dash, iDrive system, which is actually really good. It tells you everything from your tyre pressures to your oil level! Very handy!
Its also really good to hook upto your iPhone/iPod whatever. You can do all your calls etc, access iPod and can now charge you device too.
In terms of driving and economy...wow! I got the car as a "family" car, which it is, but still a fantastic sports car! It has the comfort mode and the eco pro for when you wanna chill, lay back and relax or cruise through town.
The eco pro is pretty good for aiming to drive economically as the car actually tells you what you're saving in fuel and optimal gear change etc etc and you actually try and aim to keep the figure totting up without even realising!
But for when you've had enough of that, there's Sport and Sport + mode with TCS off which is FANTASTIC!
Never fails to put a smile on my face when the back of the car does a cheeky little tail wip round tight corners
I am currently in germany in the forces and it performs excellently on the autobahn too. Easily sits at 140mph.
I can't tell you how much I love it! Even the Mrs approves of it. Best car i've ever had!
