It's built and in-transit

Hurray - it's been built my Lemans Blue 120d is on it's way. Put a last minute order in for Terra Boston so can't wait to see what that looks like !!

Probably collect w/c 2nd or 9th June - can't wait - been teased with all the pictures on here !

Thanks. Wow that's some 1 you've got !. This is costing me ++++£'s as it's new to the lease scheme but I couldn't see anything else I wanted and I test drove everything. I even followed one up the road the other day like some kind of car driving stalker !!!

when did you place order first time?
I wonder howe long does it take realistically for the car to arrive...
I will be ordering in 1-2 weeks time so the dealer said 4 months but from past experience it is usually 3 months...
Any idea?

Mine has just arrived at the dealer's.

Collecting tomorrow at 4pm - I am sooo excited

Weather is looking good for the weekend too!

And it felt like it has taken forever, especially as I have had a Sokda hire car for the last 5 weeks since I sold my S2000!

Good luck with yours!

Arrgghh, everyone is getting their cars, and I still have to wait for ages! It's just not fair.

At least I can satisfy myself with the thought that I actually gave myself time to save up a bit of a deposit, given that I pretty much just ordered the car on the spur of the moment.

okay, well i still didn't place the order but it is going to be first week of june so I am probably looking at mid/late august..? however the dealer told me that in my case it is going to take more time as I'm ordering left hand drive... But i don't think so... At the end of the day they all come from Germany anyway...

G'day from Down Under. I also changed my mind at the last minute and went with Terracotta leather - you won't be disappointed. I dropped into my local dealer the other day to see it in the flesh on a 325i coupe they had in stock. Photos do it no justice, it's a gorgeous colour.

Looking forward to seeing some photos of 1ers with the steering wheel on the right side!

I tell you what's agonising, I will go and order mine soon, but I can't find an insurance company to pop me on it before I turn 21 so I want the car on the day, but any earlier and I'll just have to go and stare at it at the dealer every day until my bday, any later and well I'll be annoyed I didn't order it earlier, you see where this is going. I'm not really complaining about things in general though

But I would like to ask something, did you consider 120d M Sport vs 123d SE at very similar prices, and if so what were your opinions? It is something I have thought about lots but am expecting to choose a 123d, although prefer the look of the M because I think it's such a fantastic engine.

i went for the 120d, for many reasons... mainly because i wanted an auto and that was the only model with it at the time.

However you will find on closer inspection the 120 is not to far behind anyway and there is a improved mpg to be had. i'm more than happy with what i have, the cars is absolutely fantastic!!

that be said..... if the 123d was in an auto when i ordered...

Yes it is fantastic, I have taken them both for a test drive already and am scheduled to do so again this weekend (while waiting for my father to take delivery of his new M3 and we get distracted for a while hehe). I think I will look closer at the acceleration at higher speeds in high gears and decide from that.

Cheers,

Tim
