It's finally here...nearly!

PurpleTT · 12-17-2013, 05:55 AM

My dealer just told me it had arrived and I asked him to nip out and take a pic, any old pic will do, just want evidence.

So what did he do? He did THIS http://video.citnow.com/vvDNgJGTMbx

Handover is still scheduled for Saturday morning but maybe earlier?

Woohoo!!!

PS, bit disappointed with the wheel arch gap ;-)

B33M3R · 12-17-2013, 05:58 AM

Wow, looks great! Going to be a long week waiting for Saturday now!

DaveA · 12-17-2013, 06:03 AM

That's good of them..

Rather glad I didn't spec the 'banging dance music' option on mine, though

.. and, yes, all those stories about the wheel arch gaps on the x-drives appear rather justified..

DazC · 12-17-2013, 06:11 AM

Can't argue with that service

Roll on Saturday.

F30AM · 12-17-2013, 06:14 AM

Congratulations.
The leather on the driver door arm rest looks a bit iffy!

That's what I was thinking - a huge wheel arch gap although it may settle down after a few 1000 miles

You noticed that too did you. Hmm, "ruched" I believe it's called. We'll see if it's acceptable.

And as for your sideswipe to my Online Entertainment option @DaveA ...

leave it!

Apl440i or 335d? · 12-17-2013, 06:48 AM

Jellous....

Roll on Saturday!

F30_msport · 12-17-2013, 07:30 AM

xdrive suspension is awfully high :P

Looks great!

Basically, under the sleek disguise, it is a manically fast SUV.

M4dski11z · 12-17-2013, 10:05 AM

That colour combo is stunning.

Mr NSB · 12-17-2013, 10:37 AM

Nice car

I haven't seen a flying F30 before the tyres should last a lifetime

gasmonkey · 12-17-2013, 12:29 PM

That gap appears large because it's up in the air, surely. Mine has no gap to speak of.

gtsussex · 12-17-2013, 12:48 PM

Love it, love it, love it!! THE best experience - how to feel 12 years old all over again. Hope the sleeps go quickly

Oh and lovely combo!

PrinceBarin · 12-17-2013, 01:14 PM

Great service - does your dealer appreciate just how many people will be watching this!

Congrats, you're in for a great weekend.

Just watched it with the sound on.

Your dealer is a bit of a geezer! innit!

Orjan · 12-17-2013, 03:01 PM

Congrats! Tanzanite/Cashmere is stunning!

BMWSKI · 12-17-2013, 06:11 PM

Great idea! I noticed the door leather straight away too...definitely check that out on collection day...
I'm collecting Saturday too

dopper99 · 12-17-2013, 06:24 PM

PDI check: "correct tyre pressures". That'll be a first.
They didnt manage it on my car, all four were different (lower) to what they were supposed to be.

ben_e71 · 12-17-2013, 11:27 PM

congrats - I got the call late Saturday that mine was ready but I couldn't collect Sunday due to the admin that had to be done. So I've had a long few days (and as many to go too) until I can collect Saturday.

PurpleTT · 12-18-2013, 01:30 AM

Thanks for some great comments everyone. Generally liked which is good. Also ideal for a grandad

Just reading the other thread about GAP insurance & alloy protection policies, someone said 403s being diamond cut aren't covered by the BMW plan. I'll be asking about that.

My Salesman's a great guy and yes a "geezer" as his video betrays, but rather refreshing for a main dealer to have someone from the younger generation

Decent fella

BUT - I've not slept well, that saggy leather at 00:15 is bothering me. I happen to be working from home today so I'll pop in and have a look.

I knew there'd be something
