Hmmm
This makes me wonder if I will get mine earlier. I was back in at the dealer today with my sisters car and bumped into the sales guy, he says the build date has been confirmed, but he said June for mine... Ohh well as the say best things come to those who wait... :-) |

Delivery would be June, we was still waiting on BMW confirming. I ordered it last weekend.
Fingers corssed it is early June as my insurance runs out then ....... hopefully this one should be slightly cheaper as well. |

Car has been in production since Monday, it's currently at 5200: Paintshop start.
I expect it to be at 5300 (pre assembly complete) by the end of the day, ready for assembly tomorrow (5500) and shipment (8200) on Friday. Will keep posted |

Exciting times.
Can I ask how many miles per year you will be doing? I can't decide whether to go for the 116i or 118d. I do 12,000 pa. Cheers |

I do 12,500 commute miles per year- plus personal miles. Petrol will work out better for me i'd suggest the same for you.

I was originally looking at getting a 118d M Sport to replace my 2007/57 118d SE which was stolen just before Christmas.
I achieved 53mpg in that therefore would expect the same in another 118d. However, as I am only covering approx 12k per year (just shy of 10,000 miles communte) I have been contemplating opting for the 116i. The 116i M Sport is £1960 cheaper than the 118d M Sport and I would be looking at getting it on the 4 year, 4.9% PCP deal. Is this what you have opted for? I have done some quick maths on the mpg's and basically if the 116i can achieve 42mpg as opposed to 53mpg in the 118d, it will cost me £1288 more in fuel over 4 years (48k) but I would still be £672 up. Obviously the 116i is more to tax also but still not going to be down on the 118d. My only concern is the resale value of the 116i due to it being the cheapest engine. I am also slightly concerned about the mid-range pull of the 116i knowing that the 118d pulled like a train. How did it feel to you? Cheers |

Car is now production #9630 (in transit)- so it is now completed (woohoo!!), and waiting for delivery to dealer
As soon as the car is consigned (arrived in the UK) my dealer is starting the swap of my personal plate from my current car to the new car. |
