Finally gave it a wash. Most sites say to wait between 1 and 2 weeks after getting ceramic before washing. My guy said a week. So I waited a week and a day.

• Valve Caps (36122447402) - I had a set of these on my M2 and 335i before that
• Rear Seat Protector for dog (52302220492) - Main reason I moved from M2 to 330i was to fit the ever growing kids and dog easier.
• Fixed hub cap (36122455268).

I'm sure I'll grab more overtime. Already looking forward to using Bimmercode to customise it just right and will probably give it a slight bump in power once warranty runs out.

Mine came with a boot mat. So if anyone wants to buy one, PM me. I'm in Melbourne. Pick up only.

Thanks, yeah I love the orange and black. Hope you are in yours soon. Drives amazing. Very different to my M2 but so easy and comfortable with plenty of go. Haven’t got more pic yet. Can’t get in to the place I want to use for tinting and ceramic coating until 29/06.

All these orange ones makes me think I should have gone orange too. Look so nice.

Can I ask where you're trying to book it in?

Ha, I also couldn’t go there because I left it too late to try and book. Didn’t want to wait a couple of weeks before getting the coating done. So went somewhere closer and could take me 2 days after pick up.

Are you adding Exo?

Woohhoo CONGRATS mate.

Just don't think about it and then when it comes it will be a surprise !!
It kills me that I can't track the ship progress anymore, maybe we should ask the dealer to make a Dealer Tracking Car Prep app , so we can view vehicle preparation progress !!

6 Days and counting for me!!!

The wonky 330e badge is being fixed right now, in the meantime I have this 320i to enjoy.

I connected it up with another account, and strangely, through the portal, I get different info (like doors locked / unlocked) that I don't get with mine.

It also seems to store the Home Address properly, not lose it after a few seconds like in the 330e.

Any observations on how its drives compared to the 330e?

Looks like one of the pro mo 320i with the visibility package.

This one has heated seats and proximity, so Comfort pack too.

Not sure of this is my mind playing tricks on me, but in terms of driving, I can feel the 320 being" lighter than then 330e, in steering and cornering feel. As it should.

In terms of pick up, it feels same as when the 330e when in electric only mode. The 320 feels very sluggish if not in Sport, where as the 330e always has electric shove ready to go (battery permitting) irrespective of the driving mode.

But it did make me think that I could have got all the goodies I wanted, other than EV drive, and maybe saved nearly 20k if I had gone for this one!

It’s not your mind playing tricks.
Years ago, I remember having a F30 335i Hybrid loaner and this car was definitely heavier than the standard F30 335i. And, as per your observation, not as nimble as the standard model.

I hope I don't end up regretting buying a hybrid. Maybe once I start driving to work and experience saving cash on fuel I might stop having doubts.

In good news, they fixed my badge! Apparently a whole new one was stuck on.
