Looks as though a number are keeping their heads down in response to the tirade from the purists on the FWD debate. Glad at least that BMW moved on from the single cylinder in the Izetta my father bought when I was born! The AT is going to be a very popular model for BMW. I was attracted by the peppy 3 cylinder having driven the new Cooper, but needed something more practical, and was glad that the engine at least is built in the UK. I think of it more like a large hatchback. It certainly doesn't match the MPV credentials of the C4 Picasso, but is a much better drive.
My AT Sport is due to be delivered mid December - Flamenco Red, Business Nav, Comfort Pack, Sunroof amongst options - but I don't expect to see it before the new year judging from the demand their appears to be. Any other indications on delivery schedules and the specs new owners have gone for would be of interest.
