Hello!
Hey everyone.
I've been lurking here a while, and due to recent purchase I've spent a little more time here than usual so I figured I'd register. I'm a software engineer and based in Teesside, and certainly not a "car guy" as they've never really interested me. However, I purchased a 1 series a few years ago and started to enjoy driving that, then I upgraded to a '17 335d which I love driving, and recently bought a M340i which is due to arrive in ~4 weeks - schedule permitting. I think it's customary to include build information which I've attached. It's nice to "meet" you all. |

Thanks! The jury is still out RE the syling of the red leather interior, but I didn't I really like it when I bought the 335d but I love it now - so maybe there's hope.
As this is my first brand new car, let alone a new BMW, is there anything I should be checking when I collect this? I had spotted that a few people had issues with older software being installed so I'll probably ask to take a look at that. |

After a small communications blackout I'm now starting to get more regular updates, I'm at "9620 (At sea)".
The BMW Genius is still quoting Week 41 (w/c 7th October), but it might even be ready this time next week all being well - hopefully. It's crazy to think I ordered this way back on the 4th July. |

I received an update this morning saying I can collect the car on the 11th, it'll be lovely to see it for real rather than this BMW render.

If you received the VIN from your dealer then you can download the manual through the app and start getting familiar with it. |

The car arrived three days early, so I managed to get it picked up today!
I've attached some photos, it's off to get detailed (with ceramic coating) on Monday os I've got a little with it before sending it off again. I was very happy to see Spotify on there after the recent software issues mentioned here. |

Awesome congratulations! Love the colour combination. Mine is being delivered next week confirmed, can't wait!
If you don't mind me asking, how much is the ceramic coating going to cost you and how long will it last? I am looking to get it done as well, wanted to know roughly how much I would need to spend. |

Awesome!
My 330e was due at the dealer on 14th Oct but this got pushed back to 21st Oct the other day 😢 Hopefully they'll make up a few days somewhere in the supply chain! 🤞🤞🤞 |

Sure, I don't mind at all. I'm getting a full detail and then the ceramic coating for £500 which seems more than reasonable, the detailer said he'd expect it to last a year or two; time will tell. |

I’m due to chop in my F30- M Performance and will be looking at one of these. If you don’t mind me asking, what was the all in OTR price for your spec? Assume it was over £50k? Cheers |

£500 sounds reasonable and what I was expecting for ceramic coating. Does that include any paint correction? |
