Hello all, just a hello from me!!
I find myself here after a couple of years of BMW ownership, the last being a E36 328i M///sport..
I am picking up a 2006 Grande in blue, its the ickle 1.2 8v version.
As you can imagine, its a complete change of experience oming from a modded 200BHP to this lol!!
The move is purely practical for our needs, plus i have always liked the look of the new Grande.
The Mrs wants to learn to drive too, so i feel this car is a good basis for her to get a feel for the road (especially through the slightly hard ride
!!!!!) Which is nothing compared to what we had before in the BMW
Its the 5 door, with the air con etc, really loved the test drive i had, and am pleased to have found a forum dedicated to this car, i previously frequented the BMW forums, also SMART car forums. Yes my car history is very diverse!!
Anyway, i hope to share and gain knowledge with you guys..
Cheers, Chris
