Absolutely spot-on, Neil. Peach of a car, especially in the handling stakes: just not sure about the JPS-style logos  I guess it's all so the brand is noticed while he's mooching around - good advertising, if a little 'loud'.
Is Matt's a manual? Is he in your 1er?  
Look forward to the vids

Definitely got.to look at a D3BT when Cindy's lease car is up for.renewal - over 2 years left so hopefully a F30-based D3BT will be out by then - according to the current rules, we.can pick anything witb a max capacity of 2l diesel, so should be fine
Given the build quality of our current F20 1 series a F30 based D3BT should be a wonderful place to park your bum
