I will also be ordering a 335d shadow edition from Tony in August, so let me know what sort of deal he gives you

MSport + Pack is no more. You have to go for the Shadow edition. Coral Red interior is also deleted from the LCi2 cars as an option, replaced by Cognac.

Deal now is irrelevant, you'll be in Q3 in August so the marketing will have changed.

Tony won't be able to give any deals/quotes until tomorrow/Monday when the dealer quote system updates.

Any advice on the best time of year to order?

Q3 should be, to coincide with the September plate change to take delivery by the end of September. However, if you're prepared to wait it out a little longer and find a dealer short on year end target, end October/early November for delivery in December could be good. Even better deal if buying a physical stock car.

Even if you order now, there's no MS+ pack?

And you can't be serious about them ditching CR!?

Clearly there will be stock in dealers and in build as we type. As of week 27, Coral red interior is finished as is the MSport + Pack

Why would they stop offering the best interior colour, that is bizarre!

[RustyBitz]

Exactly what you said teaston, Tony said the price won't be affected much. More than happy to drop the electric seats and piano trim etc to have the new packs and shadow line.

[RustyBitz]

No coral red? I'm absolutely gutted, this sucks! Back to the drawing board with the interior trim.

[RustyBitz]

I want to thank everyone on here for helping me special mention to 225, teaston and Chompers.

I have now sent over my new spec to Tony (225 just waiting to hear from the contact you forwarded). T said, "We can start to quote list prices and spec them from next week however the finance portal may not be up to date for a few weeks".

I'm feeling much better now; it's just the horrible time of waiting for everything to be live and updated BMW side.

What colour leather did you go for in the end?

Is there any additional support on stock M SPort + cars?

[RustyBitz]

I went for red with black highlight upholstery (LC), the online build isn't live on BMW yet, it was a total nightmare with my iPad split screen trying to pick options.

What are everyone's thoughts, I'm choosing the Sunset Orange colour will the red with black highlight look horrible?

The option lists have shrunk massively now I'm going with the Shadow Edition.

I'm gutted the "no cost" to increase mileage with BMW FS has ended, I would have added an extra 15,000 over the three years.

I think I would need to see the orange in the flesh.

If you VT you have no legal obligation to pay excess mileage fees!

Great knowledge on here.

What's your full spec now buddy?

[RustyBitz]

Indeed JustChris, I love this forum so much everyone is so helpful.

Current spec is:

Sunset Orange (MET)
Red with Black highlight upholstery (LC) Debating on this, welcome to ideas.
Individual Paino Black with Pearl Chrome finisher trim (XE7)
Active cruise control with Stop&Go function (5DF)
Digital Cockpit (6WB)
Lumbar supports, driver and front passenger (488)
Exterior mirrors – electrically folding with anti-dazzle (430)
Individual leather instrument panel finished in Nappa leather (XT1)
Seat adjustment – front, electric with driver memory (459) I might delete this as it's only me driving the car. Should I swap out for heated seats?

No

[RustyBitz]

That's the electric seats situation sorted

I hope now replaced by heated seats TBH I think the leather dash is a waste of money on an f30 and extends delivery time by at least 4/6 weeks, the new stitch line should enhance the look enough for most.
