Good choice! I just ordered exactly the same apart from ordering the M Sport suspension as well.

Have they given you a lead time?

2 weeks ago I ordered my new 116d:

Airconditioning
Xenon
Sunroof
Cruise control
Center armrest
Sport steering wheel
Navigation Business (incl Bluetooth)
16" alloy rims, styling 376 (like the Sport)
Hifi Active speakers
PDC front & rear
Sport seats, heated
Servotronic

Colour: Midnight Blue with Leather Dakota Oyster.

Midnight Blue is a very nice colour but it really needs chromeline and that will not be a possibility (just like the old 1-series: only the 3-door has that option, not possible on the 5-door). I still can change the colour this week. I will probably change to Mineralweiß or Liquid Blue (the new Bluewater colour).

Congrats to Doubleyou and Occean

In addition to my own test drive of 118i and 120d: For each new test or review I read I get more certain to order one The F20 is a perfect combination of an everyday car without major compromises, with sporty handling, a keen engine and fun to drive.
I love BMW

Just ordered 118i Sport in Deep Sea Blue with grey cloth

Sunroof
Navigation with black panel
DAB radio
BMW speakers
Driver Comfort pack
Interior Comfort pack
Brushed Aluminium trim

I think the car looks ok in the flesh. BMW seem to me to get the launch wrong with some pretty bad photos. My dealer says they are selling well. Had a test drive and impressed

Congrats!

I do agree that there are official photos out there which are totally wrong.
Also the marketing people should have learnt to launch the top (or next to top) models first to get more publicity and show what the cars are capable of.

We on this forum are enthusiasts: We know that even a base 1-series is fun to drive. But for publicity they should start with mid to top models.

Like when they launched the Z3 with 1,8 liter first and told us this was the James Bond car. The most disapointing new BMW ever - until you actually tried one yourself. Allthough 115 hp actually did not do jusice to the visual and technical design. Luckily they pushed out hotter versions later. Which turned out to be success.

The new 1-series is going to be av even greater success than the old one

I have called my BMW dealer today: please change the colour into Mineralweiß metallic. My friends think that this is really tacky with Oyster leather.
I have asked a quote for the Urban grill, really nice on a white car.

Now I have to wait till January 10.......

In Athens I have not seen a single one yet, apart from the Test Drive cars. First cars ordered were October production, so maybe are not delivered yet.

Great to see so many responses all over the world.
One fun fact is we don't get to test drive the F20 in HK yet because only a few stocks arrived and they are all being shown in the 3 dealership showrooms. Anyway, orders are almost full for the first shipment to HK. If order now, shipment arrives probably Feb/ March 2012 earliest.

They sell a lot of them here in Oslo/Norway as well.
Not on each and every corner yet, but seems to be a success

F30 is a good choice of course. But in the class below I would not be driving anything else than 1-series.
I'll trade the Smart into a safer and more usable car, but will wait until the M-sport version comes. The adaptive chassis is supposed to be avalable from this november, and will probably a part of the M-sport as well
