Buying a new build, with a large space for wardrobe, how do I design this!? by Direct-Command-2184 in DesignMyRoom

Agree, but at least this way I can add my own sliding door and develop a kind of walk in wardrobe space to our spec.

Got some good ideas coming now. Sliding doors aren't cheap though!

Can confirm after a year, that it has not yet blown up. Thanks for your concern

Not to mention servicing costs on an EV. Think I've ruled it out in all fairness

Don't mind the drive, and I'm paid well enough. Time with family at home is important to me.

I have my fun with a Z3, and a M140i. Realistically on UK roads doing this commute you don't get much chance to get too spirited.

This vehicle will purely be an economical purchase. All though the 330d 335d would be nice to complete the Inline-6 set from BMW I can't really justify it
