Great car, great spec. The DAP is very clever. What made you go with Sophisto Grey?

Cheers!

Didn't want black, white or silver.

So left with Med Blue or Light Grey (Bluestone) or Dark Grey.

Always fancied a black car but think it would be too much work so gone as close as I dare.

Colour choices are not great and it's the same with the interior trims. The standard trim is terrible and if you don't like wood you are left with the £560 Piano Black, I was able to get it cheaper because I argued I had to order the car without seeing the trims.

Another reason I didn't go with Bluestone, seen a sample and some pictures but not the car so not risking that. Although i'm sure it's going to be very nice.

I saw most of the colours on G30's on Friday, funnily enough not Sophisto. Carbon Black with Night Blue leather looks fantastic as does med blue with black/blue stitching. I have a 540i MSport in Bluestone/Ivory if you want a pic of it?

Excellent, congrats on your order.

Agreed with the colour choices, however Carbon Black and Night blue leather sounds good

Will be interesting sorting a test drive out and see what spec it gets.

If I do go for one it will be the Hearse version and Xdrive.

G31 looks stunning will do very well, just wish it was coming sooner.

Unfortunately not. There were a few options car wise is was looking at. After finally deciding on this one Tony only had diesels spec adjustable in the pipeline for pre April 1st delivery so had to get it where I could.

It's a shame because I would have bought it from him without a second thought. He has been excellent from the moment I sent the original quote request for the 340i, through to the M3 delivery. Followed by the rejection all has been dealt with by Tony very well. It's just a shame BMW UK are not as help as him.

That would be nice

I have had an enterprise 320d since November and just been put in an "experience" car today l, a 420d.

I'm hoping they will let me keep it until the car turns up. Nobody has actually told me why I have been given it now it just turned up...

It does amaze me some of the things that still aren't standard on a £50k top of the range 5 series! No electric seats, LED headlights, folding mirrors, folding rear seats or reverse camera!?

Congrats. Sure it will be great. Did you get to try the comfort seats which you have chosen over the sports seats? I have agonised over this but opted for sports seats.
