Title: Ordered my new car ...
Post by: Aparoon on June 23, 2010, 05:38:13 pm
No pics or anything exciting as the cars being built but I sorted a deal and put a deposit and order in for a 123d m sport coupe  :jumpmove:

Trying the economy thing for a while I hope its the right move haha

It's alpine white, coral red leather, 18in double spokes, carbon rear spoiler, tints, comfort pack and some other bits that I can't remember ... Should look lovely and be a good compromise, hopefully it will all go smoothly and the car should be with me in August  :rolleye:

Nice move Chris..  :happy2: What happened with the Ed30, did you trade it in the end, or sell in privately? I'm guessing a remap will be on the cards and some nice rear end action..  :driver:  :wink:
If it's anything like this one then...  :drool:

Still got the ed30, it's being traded in when the car arrives in August  :smiley:

Going to try not to mess about with it too much, but will be getting a few of the funky performance bits and most likely a remap  :driver:

And no problem Bedford  :happy2:

123d is a superb car ! 

I had a remapped edition 30 and sold it for a BMW Z4M Roadster .... only to get quickly fed up with the small tank range and costs ..... so have sold that for a 320d !    I am very happy believe it or not ... and wanted a 123d but an auto hatch .... and couldn't find one thus the 320d coupe  :smiley:   I tried the 123d and loved it  :laugh:

I have had performance cars for the last 20 years and this is the slowest car I have had since 1991 .... but it handles and I can just plant my foot in the bucket ..... the 123d is similar but quicker .... it has really good steering and handling and when I drove one I thought it was a complete hoot !   Now, remap and it will fly with 100% useable power too !!

 :ashamed:   Sorry, I haven't got any yet ..... and being black I will need to take them rather quickly before it looks filthy  :wink:

If I get some good ones (or rather the wife who is actually a professional photographer) I will post them to show my change from 300bhp, to 343bhp to ..... 177bhp  :rolleye:
