Just Ordered 2002 Touring....Can't Wait!

Hi all,
I've just ordered my lovely new titanium silver 318i se Touring Auto with Sat Nav system(slurp!) from Holland Park Motors in London. I now have an agonising two month wait while they build my car, in which to wonder about a few things, namely;

- Does anyone have any experience of the service department at Holland Park - any glowing praise/horror stories.

- Does anyone know if there is a way of getting round BMW's stiff policy on interior trim, so that I can deck out my dashboard with Titanium II panels instead of the Silk Grey ones I've been forced to have instead.

- Anyone have a similar car with any interesting or useful comments or advice?

- Is it best to stick with the 16" alloys, or should I have plumped for 17" rims?

I imagine I'll be perusing this forum a lot over the next two months at least, in an attempt to ease the pain of waiting...!

Cheers

Congrats on the new car! I am sure you will love it. Waiting is so hard. :)

I'm from the US so no experience with your dealer or even that car you got. You can't even get one of those over here.

I do love the 17'' M68 wheels though.
