New BMW Coupe - anyone got one?
Anyone got one of the new BMW coupe's yet?
Looking at changing my Audi A4 in the next month or so, and I'm tempted to give one of these new coupes a look in.
I know I'll NEVER get let out a side junction in one of these, but the stats look almost too good to be true 2.0 diesel is 0-60 in 7.8 and AVERAGE 57.6 MPG!!!
IMO they look great too (didnt like the new style 3series at first, but have grown to love it)
Anyone got one or driven one? Good to drive? Any niggles?

I've had one since Nov. Great car 
I've got the 335D and it just EATS miles. That wall of torque is soooo addictive. And it sounds fine : YouTube - E92 335D Revving
Normally bimble around town in short trips, and the needle will not drop below 32mpg. MUCH, MUCH more on a real drive.
I also hacked into the factory SatNav DVD and added all the speed cameras for Europe (see below). Along with real time traffic info (traffic jams, road closure, snow etc.) makes crossing Europe very easy.
Got Logic 7 which is excellent, and the Comfort Access - leave the key in my pocket, stroll up - hand around handle - unlocks - jump in - push starter button, same in reverse - touch top of handle locks and alarms. Got used to that now. The little "belt-butler" is good too. Also got the ligts that follow the road (steering).
It sits quite firm (on the factory lowered sport suspension on the 335D), and handles well. Surprisingly roomy in the rear, although the usual kerfuffle of tipping seats.
I am VERY satisfied. Ticks all the boxes for me : Quality, Economy, Silly Torque and Practicality in Coupe form.

Just be prepared to leave it in the garage at the slightest sign of ice or snow - they're DIRE in those conditions 
Make sure the wife's got an SUV you can borrow, or else you're getting the bus!!
