Getting spanked both ways here. Car was not due until May when BIK is better (after 6th April) but delivery brought forward to 24th March and I had delayed charge point until nearer car delivery time and now install company are rammed and can't do before end March! So extra £150 and 2% worse off on BIK. Its a good job my boss isn't threatening to send us all home on SSP due to coronavirus..........oh wait...

That’s annoying! At least you get the extra charging cable that wasn’t available when I took my 330e back in November.
So that’s worth £150 ish which offsets your installation loss

I got an install date with ChargeMaster only a week after I phoned up. Might be worth a try, although they are on the expensive side and their app is rubbish...

Company I am using is called Plug It In Group Ltd to fit a Rolec unit and fair play to them, they have squeezed appointments to install more per day than normal and fit mine in for 26th March to avoid the increase! Great customer service!

Further Changes to Grant Scheme and BMW offer

The government scheme has now considered those who have orders in progress:
"where an installer can prove that there is a pre-existing arrangement with the customer, that was agreed prior to 12 March, the installation shall still be eligible for a grant rebate of £500. This provision shall apply until the 31 May"

Also, if you're a private customer and you order/take delivery in 2020, then you can get the home charge for free.

Just note that offer appears to be order AND take delivery, not one or the other. I took delivery a couple of weeks ago but ordered before Christmas 2019 so don't think I can get it, though I've inquired with my dealer just in case. I also missed out on the Type-2 cable that now comes included with the car. Grrr.
