Original post went something along the lines of...

car delivered today ... blah blah ... bigger than I remember (yay) ... blah blah ... crap drive home but car still great ... blah blah ... pic attached, more soon.

One last thing ... testing heated seats and heated steering wheel in today's weather was NOT a good idea (but I did)

Don't worry, I read the original too!

Looks fantastic. Congrats!

your right sfax at £125 but the chance to drive 1 month early is worth the loss of 1 month. At £125 per year thats £10.41 to drive for 4 days. Worth every penny i can tell you. All these cars are looking stunning i have to say. Where's the BMW X3 rally going to start so we can all show them off!!!!

Congratulations to all my fellow UK X3 drivers who have got their cars today.

AJW really like alpine white. Looks great with those wheels and the black trim.

Tuff - snap!

Nice place these days ... very whizz bang inside

Beats Brunel Way and Welly Street ... but Slough is still Slough. Betjeman had it spot on. Something along the lines of "Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough! It isn't fit for humans now"

Did Mrs Sfax defect to the red side out in Newbury or are her skills more "portable"?

LOL, I need to get out more! I've flown into Gatwick and Heathrow for business, and taken the train into London. I've spent weeks in the city. The one place outside of London that I've been to is, of course... Slough.
