Anyone seen a EBII touring M Sport?. - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

johnbmw6 · 11-12-2012, 05:23 AM

Mine is still on the "Missing list"

, has anyone seen one yet?, I have seen saloons in it but no UK routings.

zorroone · 11-12-2012, 05:50 AM

No not over here yet. I'll look forward to your pics.

HighlandPete · 11-12-2012, 05:58 AM

Seeing the topic, thought we were going to be looking for your touring.

Only seen one touring (not an M sport) just last Friday, so they are creeping into the rural Highlands. My first thought was, it looks nearly as big as the 5-series, particularly from the rear.

I saw one in Aberdeen last week. Looked good!

RobUK · 11-12-2012, 06:08 AM

Mmm, only seen one F31 in the flesh, an AW Sport Line in a car park. Have to say the back-end of the F31 looks good for an estate.

I'm starting to think EBII F31 330d's must be rare as hen's teeth!

It's ok, found it...

That's the touring no one can find out who ordered it. Delivery guy is getting desperate on where to drop it off. Hear it may go back to Germany, as no one is claiming ownership.

Just had an update from the dealers, their words "Hi John your car is at southampton waiting for transporting to here"

I said great when can I get it, they said " the 19th is predicted"

I said no way mate I want it picked up for my collection Saturday, they are going to try

.
BMW are getting worse in their delivery times the car was built 3 weeks ago, it does not take 3 weeks to get here from germany unless they pushed it all the way.

Well we wait with "baited breath".

There's one at Bowker BMW in Preston (a 328i) http://www.bowkerbmw.com/approved-us...s-touring.html

I had a quick look this morning (I was driving a 320ED for tyre noise, and sitting in a sport seat to see if I am too fat!) and thought (a) the front end looks rather spangly for an M Sport and (b) I'd prefer the colour a bit darker blue (c) it had Pirelli tyres on

Thanks It does look nice.

Unbelievable, just been told my car has arrived and it will be ready on Wednesday. So look out for one in St Neots, Cambridge and Bedford area with a Cheshire cat at the helm!!

as7920 · 11-12-2012, 04:18 PM

My sister-in-law's hubby picked his EBII touring up on Friday and I saw it on Sunday. Lovely looking car.

Saw the same car whilst at my dealers last week too. Very nice. then again I'm biased as I loved my Le Mans Blue E91 M sport too.

johnbmw6 · 11-14-2012, 09:23 AM

It's at the dealership tonight @ 6 MP delivery.

Pick-up Saturday, about time.

MaestroAl · 11-14-2012, 09:27 AM

I've still not seen an F31 on the road

Hi John,

I saw a lovely E31 in EBII at my dealer a few weeks back. It had just been PDId ready for a customer. The sales guy took me to see it, as I wanted to see what 19" 403s looked like. I'd not thought of EBII at that stage, but I decided it was the colour I wanted on the spot ... and that I had to have the 19s.

It's a truly gorgeous car in EBII. Somehow, that colour sets off the 'architecture' of the car more than almost any other colour. I think the E31 in that colour is a touch more beautiful than the E30 I've ordered, but I don't need an estate and I'm hoping I'll get a bit of payback in sightly better handling - the car I tested had no adaptive and it was a touch loose in the bends for my taste.

Anyway, the F31 looks utterly spectacular in EBII. You'll be a very happy man on Saturday!

dopper99 · 11-14-2012, 06:13 PM

I take it you mean F31. An E31 is an 8 series.

Daveyc · 11-14-2012, 06:54 PM

Whoops - typo. 7 series not pretty like F30/F31 ...

I have test driven the "Adaptive" and it makes a big improvement.
