A week today!
OK guys since it's Friday and it's a week to go until I pick my car up I thought i'd share it and ask who else has an impending collection date and what model are they waiting for?

Awaiting a date from lease company, but considering order was 14th Jan, safe to say 4-6 weeks?

My order was confirmed on Friday 4th January, build week 6 (w/c 4th Feb) then arrived at the dealer 20th Feb. Had it not been for waiting for 1st March could have picked it up early next week, so 8 weeks exactly from order to collection for me!

I've still got what seems like a lifetime too wait. They don't start building any 330d xDrives until the first week of March. And I have to add 8 weeks on for my individual paintwork, never mind the individual interior. Oh well roll on the summer. The dealer reckoned the end of JULY!!

Ah the price you pay for a bespoke order - in many ways! Individual paintwork is about £1,500? Am lucky I like the EBII so much and so far i've not seen many about at all really. Sounds like it will be a really good set of wheels - presume you'll be taking out the gap insurance too as it'll not be easily replaced should the worst happen!

You are right about the blue (so far) I haven't seen one. Although I have seen quite a few monochromes (as in white to black), very dull IMHO, but ETTO. The bespoke paint is actually £1,995 |

I went to a company function last year and when we met up the long row of primarily black, German cars in the car park was one of the reasons I decided to be different this time. I've seen one EBII so far, but to be fair i've only really been looking since the beginning of January.
I do think they look great in black and white though (I love the mineral white actually) and it was a Sport model in black that first drew me to the 3 series in the dealership. I figured that an M Sport only colour would give me more individually due to many being fleet cars and SE or Sport models. |

I have had a little look at the 'Shortfall Insurance' and I might have to think about taking it out. but at least you can take out a policy up to 120 days after delivery of your car.

AT £250 the ala.co.uk quote certainly seems very good value for peace of mind. Of course, if BMW want to match their quote...

Hi Guys,
I'm new to the forum. I ordered my 320i M Sport in EBII back in 19th Jan. Was told my car should arrive mid March. Fingers crossed, it'll be here soon! Can't wait. |

The £30k limit that GAP pays out is only on the shortfall, which makes it a hell of a lot of cover. GAP is a must if it is your car. |

My Insurance broker suggested going with a good insurance and no need to pay for GAP. i.e. Aviva pay full cost of car if it's a total loss in the first 12 months
