grover432 is on a distinguished road
I'm going by the dealer tomorrow morning to test a cold start and see how long it takes for the heater to start warming the interior. It is supposed to be -25C tonight and should be a good test. I don't want to have to deal with the typical slow engine warm up times with diesels and poor heater performance, although I understand the 35d has a ceramic heater to help with quick warm up when it is really cold out.

I'm going to check the second vehicle they have in stock to see what tires it has. The dealer is also going to check the tire pressure. Maybe it is just the nature of the run flat tires. Are the Michelins much better?

Finally, I think this vehicle would be a purchase rather than a lease, so I want to make sure it has all of the equipment I'd want. The dealer says a new iDrive will arrive for the 2010 model year which he said means September production and October delivery. I don't really want to wait, but I'd realy like to have the new iDrive and Nav system.

First things first, though.
