Nice, how do you track the progress out of interest? Mines just arrived with Tony Lewis at Berry Croydon yesterday and collecting Tuesday 24th. I ordered my car 23rd August and secured a final September build slot so pretty happy with the speed of that but guess I got lucky.

I just talked/chatted to Dealer & Genius with some input from ramparts.

Collecting on Monday 23rd Oct, strangely cheaper insurance (-£23 mth) until renewal when they will no doubt try to skin me

So looking forward to getting back into a petrol car
Hope your handover goes smooth.

Thanks, you too. For insurance I went with Admiral last night, c£700 which is not bad as street parked in SW London, saved a load on home insurance renewal too, either that or just realised how much I'd been fleeced by direct line!

Did you go with any extra purchases? Ordered the full rubber floor and boot mat set via Bay for £152 and have the car going in for full ceramic coat inc wheels and seats next week, £500 all in which thought was good. PPF was over £1k for front and rear bumpers but decided it against it. Also went with GAP insurance for £240 for 4yrs, way cheaper than dealer price.

Still looking at potential Trackstar system but so far have the Stoplock pro (back to the 90s!) ready along with faraday box and wallets.

Insurance was already pretty cheap for my X3 M40d , Tesco £420yr with legal, very supprised with a monthly rebate until end Dec.

Just stated looking for Matts and roof bars at the moment as car was not confimed until yesterday, and an amended deal was arranged with the dealer. Do you have the link to the matts?

That seems a good GAP price for 4 years (who with) cheapest i have so far is 4 yrs for £310, but only to invoice as car over £50K.

I too still have a stoplock pro
Regards

There’s a pack “G21MAT” you can order which is the one I believe he is talking about.

It’s also available from the bmw store on Amazon if you have a gift voucher balance

[Donny_1962]

Cheers,

Did find the cheap one that AP_75 bought (£152 + 6% voucher), but now out of stock and everywhere now £175 (ebay/dealer/Amazon) So might just have to bite the bullet unless i have a friendly chat with the salesman when i pick the car up on monday.

sorry didn't reply sooner, that's the one. There was a 15% off deal on eBay so managed to use that.

Gap insurance was via https://totallossgap.co.uk recommended on the forum

Next job a Thule bike rack, hoping to pick up a 926 to justify the £1k towbar :-)

Looks great, love the cognac and M seats. If I didn't have young children would have gone for these. Collected mine yesterday afternoon, will put some pics up when I get a chance.
