Yey! My new V40 arrived this morning! along with a courtesy car from BMW while my 1 series is in for a service. Both have only done 40 miles on the clock!!
Having both sat on my drive, I have to say I'm very glad I chose the V40, the interior of the V40 is so lovely, the leather is very good, it feels like a very nice place to be vs the BMW. Secondly I'm not sure what they have done to the steering of the new BMW 1 series but it feels numb, my drive home from the dealer lacked the sparkle of my old 1 series. And finally they tell you the new 1 series is prettier in the flesh... I have to disagree it's ugly from what ever angle.
Spec for my V40 is D2 ES with leather, driver display and 17" Mannan alloys. So this is missing the SE chrome trim in and out. other than that there's not a lot of difference.
Has anyone noticed the trip stats?? ooohhh stats....
