Otherwise, it's fantastic.


Welcome to the M3W fold wine

Is it a Euro 4 spec??

It maybe stating the obvious but if it's a new car I'd talk to your dealer about the banging.

Re the bevel box noise it's unlikely MMC would take any notice until you have at leat 1,000 miles on the box and it mightend up being comething you can live with.


Yes - just about the last one to be registered as Euro 3 in order to beat the SVA requirement.

I'll let it bed itself in and see if the whine subsides. I have let the dealer know about other noises. Notwithstanding that, and even at these temperatures, driving it is the best antidote to old age that one could wish for.
