Hi @Jim Davidson, :welcome: to the forum from me too in Staffordshire, UK. Can't go wrong with a blue Zed, but I may be biased;)

Estoril Blue is still a very special colour for BMW and being used today. I've ordered my 3GT (330d M Sport) now on a cracking lease deal and it will be Alpine White. But I desperately wanted Estoril Blue as the colour is stunning. Not to everyone's taste apparently. The local BMW dealer said it it's actually a difficult colour to sell as most 3 GT buyers are golfer types who want a subtle black, grey or white. **Note** I am not a golfer type but I know a nice looking and fast car when I see it. 0-60 in 5.7 seconds from a diesel!

You will love your new car! My "day" car is also a F30 330D Msport in bright red and I love it! Superb range of abilities with 0-60 in 5.5 secs allied to 50+ mpg at cruising motorway rates. Have you ordered adaptive suspension? Well worth while.

Wife and I did the NC500 in Oct and after some thought I chose to do it in the 330D rather than either the Z3MR or 911. Given the long motorway slog to Scotland and the weather (and lack of space in the M for wife's luggage!) it was the right car and performed superbly.

It was a pre-registered deal so I couldn't specify anything. I know it has the M Sport Plus pack and heated front seats. I'm obviously keeping my fingers crossed it might have some other toys too. I'm hoping to get the chassis number off them in the next few days to check on BMWVIN. The car is not being delivered until mid-Feb. It's near enough costing me the same to have a brand new lease car than to run my own 2 year old car with 30k on it :)
