Fantastic News (for me, anyway)

Captain Cow Pat · 04-12-2013, 09:05 AM

Popped into my local dealer at lunch to enquire about the addition of the interior trim and guess what? My car (or bits of my car) is in the paint shop at the moment. So delivery is possibly end of April or early May. I was quite calm about getting my car, when it was going to come at the end of May but now......

Good news for us all of course!

Oh wow - certainly good news. It sounds like BMW were a little aggressive with their adjustments on timelines. Hopefully same for mine... I'll hold off calling the lease company til maybe back end of next week...

defo. I think valencia will really suit the car and would look unique. Looks nice in the 1 series M Sport.

Too right ... assuming mine is the same, that's still another week of thinking /worrying about spec choices before it becomes locked down (or does that happen sooner than the build week itself?)

I saw my first Valencia orange car on the road only a couple of days ago it was an X1. Certainly stood out from the crowd.
