Well I had to say cheerio to Bali Blue last week, sad to see her go. My X3 is finally arriving tomorrow and can't wait for it, will let you know what its like and some photos when I get chance, no doubt gonna get a load of abuse but each to their own, its whats good for me that counts.

BMW loaned me a Mini Countryman whilst I have been waiting and I have been pleasantly surprised with it although was shocked when I found out that the Cooper D version i was driving retails at £20K!!!! Quite roomy for a Mini and loved the 55 to 60 mpg economy, steering was very sharp and gave a lot more feedback then my FL2 (I took the FL2 out for a quick run round the block the day of collection and found the steering very 'loose', seemed that I could turn the wheel and still go straight?)

Still like the FL2 - the exterior shape is still one of the finest out there, just let down, for me, by the out of date interior and sky high leasing costs and some bad experiences with mine recently. Hope you all enjoy your FL2's and remember if you see a Space Grey X3 stuck in snow pull up and give me a tow!  Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
