What freebies are feasible? Mats and a tank of fuel? I'm picking up in a fortnight, first new car so would appreciate guidance on what I can wangle!

Mats are included in the price with most models.

As is a certain amount of fuel (£30 or so). I usually end up getting it filled right up though so that's a small freebie.

Last time I got two umbrellas, a BMW usb stick, a BMW keyring (not the standard dealer ones) and some flowers.

USB Stick is a must for saving your Driver Profile on. Essential when you get a loaner!!

I've been promised a full tank of fuel and paint protection.

tinytrevor · 02-23-2016, 12:24 PM

Mine's at the port of departure. 2 more weeks me thinks

Do you have to ask or should it be offered? Pretty sure we didn't get anything last time we picked up the current car - actually maybe some flowers. Just feels odd asking for a free bit of tat after you've paid so much - but I could do with a big golf umbrella

I pick my F30 340i up at 1130am on the 01st March. Ordering to deliver took just 6 weeks.

teaston · 02-23-2016, 01:02 PM

Nope, been enjoying mine for weeks!

philiper1 · 02-23-2016, 01:08 PM

F21, M135i possibly 5th March

Count me in as another one! Collecting F31 340i on 1st March, having been waiting since the first week of September....!

Steven1077 · 02-23-2016, 01:51 PM

I couldn't wait and didn't trust the dealer not to damage it, so I picked up my F22 last Thursday

Bingo, me too. My order went in on 1 Sept. A few individual things delayed it, as did adding leather dash. What's your spec?

asif03 · 02-23-2016, 02:42 PM

Was actually thinking to start a similar thread the other day

. I'll be picking up my 430d on the 1st. The 4 month wait actually went ridiculously quick! Have to say a huge thank you to all on here for educating me so much since joining

Mrklaw · 02-23-2016, 03:57 PM

Add me - lowly 320i Msport

Done, saw your earlier post but read that to mean you wouldn't be getting it on 1/3.

danrp · 02-23-2016, 04:05 PM

Add me on the 1st March. F36 420d M Sport Auto

Ordered late October, built on the 5th Feb, now ready and waiting at dealer.

Would have the loved the 430d but company car tax cost made this a none option. Hoping this'll be quite an upgrade from my F31 318d manual.

335d Touring Xdrive · 02-23-2016, 04:08 PM

I've been down to pay for mine today, Handover tomorrow

Getting picked up on a covered trailer and going straight to detailer for new car detail, then have the entire front end Llumar PPF fitted ready for my collection March 1st. I've been waiting since early August for mine.

225 · 02-23-2016, 04:15 PM

While I am happy for you all, god March will be a hard month seeing all your shiney new toys while still having to wait!

Oh, no it was originally due end of Jan

You should edit the thread title each day - 6 sleeps to go etc

Don't take the paint protection even if it's free. They'll just add more swirls into the paint!

The salesman I always deal with knows I love my gadgets and BMW merch so he just gives me as much as he can.

Interesting that 50% of KS's updated list of March 01st pick ups are 340i's! Starting to salivate at this point :-).
