In-keeping with the trend this weekend, I picked up my new car on Friday. It's been a tough 2.5 years without a car for me, whilst reading you lot talking about all the nice cars you own and your various meet-ups! Like many of us, I have spent more than my fair share trawling the classifieds, using my man maths to try and form an argument for various cars, but this one (for me) was the first that withstood the "logical" arguments thrown my way! It's just over 2 years old, has all the extras (Sat Nav was great at diverting round the M6 traffic en route back to Worcester) and first impressions have been very good. It's a lovely looking thing (to my eyes) and vastly quicker and more planted than my previous e46 330ci. So far I've only put about 200 miles on it, so will post some more insightful thoughts once I've driven it a little more.

It's a manual, yes. The synchro-rev feature is great. Makes a great noise when you really open it up, but its a little on the quiet side overall - that's about the only negative comment I have so far!

Another big seal of approval from me. Carry on. Oh, is that the correct spelling of seal in this context? Looks wrong.

Nice! Sounds like you need a noisier exhaust though - make it so!

Congrats mate!
I love Z cars and the 370 definitely looks better than 350.

Love these - nice colour too. All these people buying cars with proper engines in too, does no one care about the environment?
