Great spec - I'm waiting for my replacement f31 340i. Re-Ordered March 16th, due early June.

Sounds like similar dates.

Mines at 1200 apparently.

Nice spec! Silver with Coral interior is a great combo.

I'm going EB with black/dark oyster, but in terms of options your spec is exactly the same as mine apart from I've not specced comfort access, speed limit display or adaptive lights. Now try and wait calmly until June...

Thanks all.

I'm actually fairly okay with the wait. As long as I can keep topped up on Youtube videos and insights from current owners then all is well

So my dealer believes the car will be arriving during the first 2 weeks of June.

However BMW Genius is currently saying build at the end of June with delivery to the dealer at the end of July.

Let's see how this all pans out...

Not sure guys. My dealer is on holiday and, currently, Genius is busy. Guess I'll just have to wait. And tomorrow is my two-months-since-ordering anniversary.

Update: Yes 0500 status is a backwards step. Basically there's no plan to build my vehicle yet. Apparently this is due to the demand for 40i engines and BMW are having a re-jig of their build allocations. I should hopefully hear more next week...

That's a great spec and colour combo Grant

Do wish one of you f31 340i buyers would spec a tow bar on your orders, would be very useful in a few years time when you p/x it

Thank you Sir

Actually I was thinking just this yesterday! I'm off on holiday to NW Scotland in a few weeks time and I was thinking how great it would be to have my Caterham up there. I wouldn't drive it up, but trailering it up there would be perfect....Can towbars be retrofitted?
