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

[dave UK 318touring]

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.
