First UK cars hit the road

[Fastbuck]

Today is the official UK launch. Nice machine, drives like a dream!

Beautiful. Wish you great driving pleasure. Did the grill come with the car or did you change it. I have space gray coming next month, cant wait. Ordered the grill as a spare part. The 20'' look great< it was not an option here unfortunatly. Is the trim around the windows the same that comes with the standard model or is it the gloss that comes with the sport package?. The options vary so much from country to country I am getting confused. Sport package is not an option here yet.

Looks great, well spec'd.
I had good news yesterday, my cars at the dealers and I should pick it up next Tues/Weds, they paid for their own transporter to overcome the delivery backlog.

Thanks for the comments.

I put the grille on myself. One of the members of this forum kindly arranged to ship one from the USA to me in time for launch date. The window surround is the high gloss black from the Sports Pack. I personally would have preferred chrome, but I couldn't get it with the Sports. I like the Space Gray but it is darker than I imagined. The combination of the beige interior and the black anthracite headliner works better than I imagined.

The rear view camera is a joke. Not only from a picture quality perspective but also in how it integrates (or not) with the PDC functionality.

That's great news. I heard yesterday that the only other owner who was to pick his E70 up from my dealer at launch was told one of his 20s was damaged at the prep centre and he'd have to wait about another month for one to arrive. I'd kill someone if that happened to me!
