New Series III Barbados - after lease seemed to be taking forever. Seems to be good - clean shifts, good clutch action. Motor seems to have good mid-range and bottom end. 20ish mpg just tootling 'round suburbs tonight :)
Dealer did good detail and predelivery - even fixed steering wheel with wrinkly 'alloy' spokes I noted on testdrive. Paint, panels, fit, doors, fittings - everything good so far. Didn't realise they came with so much gear in 'em.
All good so far, 800km round trip to Beechworth tomorrow should sort out any niggles.
Happy, Jan. :)
Turns and handles good, getting used to big motor with little flywheel effect = needing refinement in driving technique to foster some smoothness. ;)
So much nicer and more engaging than Bimmer 530 I drove a while back. :p
