Your car looks good Alan. Like most of the new models although the dashboards are a let down in my opinion. Don't see too many white BM's indeed.
I was reading an article a few weeks ago that says White cars command between 10-15% less than coloured cars and black cars are the priciest. Anyone got the back up on this? Just thinking of when your selling that's all. Maybe thats why the police are buying silver cars. Diesel sports are the way to go. Am I biased. oh yeah Alan. |

I'm loving the white 1 series. I rented a Focus ST last weekend and did about 300 miles in it. Initially I loved it, it's fast and the seats are probably the best I've ever sat on but I was happy to hand it back at the end of the weekend. It's a bit too chav-tastic for my liking and I felt the plastics on the interior were a bit cheap feeling |

It looks great. As others have said, the white looks brilliant! As some mags have been saying, that white is coming back into fashion. The 1 series must be one of the most trendiest of white cars available, especially in M sport guise.
Whats the mpg on this? I wouldn't mind one myself, my e34 does 32mpg on a good run and probably 28-30 in town. |

Yes! love the 1 series and looks great in white with the larger alloys. If you get a chance you should try one they are so chuckable - great cars.

The Interior plastics and dash are much improved on the facelifted One, now its the 3 that looks like the cheap one inside. As for being worth less fir being white if it was a 116es maybe, hopefully a White 120d M Sport will be a rare good looking car and least it wont show every mark like a black one would. As for MPG went from Grimsby to Auld Inn's at cumbernauld on £25 plus what ever was in the tank from the factory last Saturday. Filled it and so far done 220 miles and the obc shows 46.3 MPG with 270 miles left on the range and just over half a tank left on a mixture of town A & B road driving. The engine is quite tight at the moment but it has loosened off a bit already so it MPG should improve a bit when its run in, or stay about the same if i start driving it a bit harder. One thing though it is very very chuckable feels like my old Cooper S but with a better ride, makes my old 330ci feel like a bit of a bus. |

when were they facelifted? i found the interior plastics very low-rent on 2006 118d, like the e46 but a bit worse the indicators drove me to distraction and the ride very fidgety on runflats, but i'm sure an owner would quickly adapt yours is a nice looking car though |

The first facelift cars were out about the end of April as i had to wait a few weeks for Eastern to get there 120d demo, the ride is much improved, so much so that the M Sport 120d on 18" runflats rides better and my old M Sport 330 on 18". After 2 days you get used to the indicators, tap up or down for 3 flashes or push down or up for down for on. you just need to mind to push the stalk the same way if you want to cancel. |

The motor's still very tight and the book says keep it under 3500 for the first 1000 miles. But in 2nd & 3rd you see more of the DSC light than you ever did in the 330 as it's got a lot of torque even from 2000 - 3500 and you can feel it got some poke. A 330 would eat it in a straight line but i think the 120d has more usable power if you know what i mean.

This is only the second one I have seen in White. One sits in the traffics / council buildings in charring cross, its really nice and I didnt really like white cars at first.
My aunt just picked up her 118d Msport yesterday in blue. Really nice, they have grown on me a lot. |
