Im fortunate enough to be able to change my company car fairly frequently and I have just placed the order for my latest car.
12 week lead time as it stands, but I still have my 120d MSport whilst the new one is made.
Spec is;
318d MSport Business Edition saloon
Alpine White solid paint
Black Dakota leather
USB interface
Model badge deletion
Pictures of what I can expect;
Upon delivery, it will be sent to Robbie @ Valet Magic in Ascot to have sunguard rear tints and a 3M carbon fibre vinyl roof wrap

I work for the fleet management/leasing company 
Plus, its only tints which will be of legal grade and to the rear windows and a vinyl wrap which will protect the paint for the duration its applied and easy enough to remove when required.

White is best colour for the M Sport E90. Same as my folks!
Were getting a few of the 320 efficent dynamics on our fleet at work, great engines and so cheap (tax wise)

i know this.
do they have different shapes for the 3 and 5 doors then?
fiesta/focus's have the same basic shape whether they are 3/5 door, hence the reason i'm asking.

They look the same except one is a 3 door and one is a 5 door.
Is the 3 door not classed as a coupe.
Astra's/Corsa's (as an example) have different shapes for 3 and 5.

they look different. different headlights and rear lights for a start.
all i ever seem to see are coupe's round this way so that would make sense.

Had one of these as a courtesy car (well, a 320d on a 58)
The stop-start was fucking annoying.

I never sit in neutral in traffic so doesnt become active. Only ever used it once in the 1 series and that was by accident.
Power wise, yes - The 120d is a quick car, but the majority of my driving is on the motorway and mid range the 318d should be more than capable.
