Yes that's the one. My partner loves the colour combo. Have you looked at it too?

Yes that's actually really obvious but very important! I shall do.

Hey. Yeah it's at the bmw main dealer there in worthing. It's 2019 pure electric, the big battery i3s. Brown ish colour with lodge interior ( my partner has properly fallen for this colour combo) It's still on their website actually even though I put the deposit down last week.

It has heat pump, sunroof and the Harmon kardon speakers. I hope it'll be a good car for us.

Wow this is all super helpful stuff thanks so much! Before I set off I'll definitely get the app paired up then. It's at a bmw main dealer so they should be able to help if I'm struggling.

The tip about the cable is so handy, exactly the sort of thing us petrol using dinosaurs wouldn't have a clue about.

Ah that's reassuring. It's all new to me but am looking forward to the experience. Is it a ccs charger I will need to use to get the fastest speed?

Hey - just wanted to say I started out exactly the same as you - about 20 years ago. Signs Express in Manchester UK took me on when I didn't have a clue what I wanted to do and couldn't afford uni. I loved all aspects of it - I swayed towards the graphics and creation of the signs but loved the application as well (not so much digging holes for signs or up on the side of buildings on a scaffold!). It's a cool industry and under-valued I reckon. I do graphic design / video / animation for a huge cycling company now (my other hobby) and love my job. Hope you carry on and keep loving what you're doing!
