[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 203678, member: 81"] I picked up my car with 114 kms on the ODO (normal?) and have since spent another 40+ kms driving the car around. I haven't had the chance to read the manual as I spent 2 hours claying the car last night and another 1.5 hrs waxing it this morning LOL. The paint surface was rough when I got the car, although it looked OK. The sparkles came out and so did the really nice purplish tint of the Sparkling Graphite under daylight which does justice tot he color. Actually I find the color tone quite dull, but its the character of the SG (sparkles and purple tint) which makes it interesting. So.. that means that I got a free weight loss program with the car from maintaining the paintwork. Anyway, the fuel consumption is HIGH. I am still running in the engine and havent gone past 3.5k rpms, but get an OBC reading of 20-23ltr/100kms. When I took delivery the reading was much lower @13+. Kinda odd but then again the commute has been in heavy traffic lately. Any of you remember your fuel consumption readings when the engine was being run in? Also the RFTs are really harsh and based on the pressure readings on the door panel, they are under high recommended tyre pressures as well, well at least higher than my E46 on 18's staggered. The car came with Bridgestone RE050 RFTs but I have seen another CBU E90 325i waiting for delivery recently at AB shod with Pirelli RFTs. Curious what others got for their CBU 325is as well. Anyway, I'll make it a point to read the manual tonight to find out more about the car. Had to flip to a few pages on re-initializing the tyre pressure readings as it indicated I had a flat on my way home from collecting the car. The PDI guys adjusted the pressure but didnt re-initialize the OBC. Man these electronics is more headache than good. I prefered the old traditional way of monitoring the tyre pressures instead of going through the hassle of all this re-initialization each time I top up air. Anyway, so far so good. The beige interior is kinda wiered, in some pics its quite an ugly hue of brown/orange but in some pics I've seen its a pleasant beige/creamish color.
