You will be impressed - I took delivery of mine lunchtime.  Biggest surprise; it really doesn't sound like a diesel (the 320D does) - it sounds like a straight six - okay not as smooth as the petrol but still that lovely thrum that in-line fours don't have.

Sports suspension is fine - I'd read it was too hard for UK roads - don't believe a word of it - it's firmer than the standard car but by no means uncomfortable.

Harmon Kardon system sounds good (I'd probably say really good had I not had decent aftermarket ICE in the past) - a lot better than the standard system - I won't be competing in any sound offs but, unlike the standard one, it has plenty of mid and bass.

Performance - plenty there (this is the 204bhp model) - bigger power band than the 320D and the smooth engine encourages you to use it (unlike the 320D).  3rd gear particularly nice with a great long shove of thrust.

Handling - nicely balanced (doesn't feel nose heavy despite the big engine) and plenty of grip - as there should be with 255s on the back.

Economy - reset the computer then drove 12 miles into Bristol - mixture of roads and I was obviously giving it some having just got it.  Result was a smidgen over 40mpg.  Should return excellent motorway mpg figues as sixth gear is very tall - 70mph = 1950 revs!

So, very impressed indeed - nice motor.

Matt.
