Apart from the R-design it looks from the brochure that the only exclusion from having the factory order tempa spare wheel is listed as 'Electric Glass Tilt and Slide Sunroof cannot be combined with Tempa Spare Wheel on D5 Executive Geartronic' - although I have no idea why. There was a thread on the forum not so long ago for someone looking for a tempa spare & jack etc to add to their exec. The tube of goo is not so great. |

262 coupe - car looks fantastic. My black exec should be ready for colloection next week. Its good to hear there are rear heated seats. I did alot of reading before I ordered and I have not come accross this before.
I am also please to hear the extra BHP makes it feel quicker. My bmw is 300bhp so I am used to good power. I would agree with you that this spec at this price is good value for money. The space saver is a no cost option and should be specifed when ordering. Otherwise you get a compressor in the boot. I was advised by my dealer to go for the tempa spare. |

PANTS!
Just been told by my dealer that the car is in the UK but there is a backlog at the docks due to the weather. Looks like a 3 day delay which puts handover back to next Sat. |

Oh by the way.
While you are enjoying your new toy there will be a tsunami of posters who are just dying to ask how the mpg compares with the 185 model so I might as well be first. How is the MPG? |

Thanks a lot guys for the feedback. I wish I'd known about the spare though I just assumed I would have the same as the SE-lux V8. Having said that mine does have the sunroof so maybe that wasn't an option for this car anyway if you say there is a conflict between the sunroof and spare?
As to MPG...... so far.... and bear in mind this is after only 130 miles, mixed driving and I am being pretty gentle with it...... 29.8 although it did peak around 31.3 after a motorway run. How does that compare with the 185??? |

Quite favourably bearing in mind the engine is tight as a drum and the current cold weather will hit consumption. If I can get around 30 straight out of the box I will be happy. I would have thought around 34 on a run once it has losened up should be achievable

262 coupe - any problems getting insurance? Some of the insurance companies have not got the new 200 bhp model on their systems?
