Collected 840d

Collected Tues from London and drove across France, Belgium to The Netherlands in the snow! 46 UK mpg. Everything seems easy to use and just a few more things to learn. Feels very agile and plenty of performance. Build quality up, a bit, from the F16, and feels better due to higher quality leather. Still no S Class though with the interior. Laser lights - can't tell really as there is too much traffic for them to fully deploy. Exterior very nice, Dravit Grey is exactly what I expected. Like a metallic Nardo Audi grey sometimes, then if and when the Sun comes out, the gold sparkles from within. Cleaned it, but not too serious as it needs to be much warmer before I can polish and ceramic coat it.

Beautiful and congrats. Love the color combo especially the Fiona red. Did you get extended or film? I have a build in for Sonic speed and Fiona and still trying to see the full leather choice. 46mpg is great, but I'm getting the 850, so it would less than half that!! Enjoy.

I'm not sure what "Did you get extended or film?" is. I'm not wrapping it, just ceramic coating when over 10c. Specs in the UK are very simple (£500 more for Fiona over plain black) and basically you can just add a few packages and one or two options. I ticked all options except carbon and sound (way too expensive).

Fwiw, our 850ix got just under 25 mpg last weekend on a lengthy round trip, mostly highway but also some rural roads, between Tallahassee and Ruskin.

I meant extended or full.

Congrats, it really is a gorgeous car. Sat in an all black M850i with the cognac interior, really dig the new design inside and out.
