Thanks for posting the manual. Still have to wait a couple of weeks for my 125i M Sport. Getting a head start on reading the manual will be very helpful.

a couple of weeks!! you are so lucky, I still need to wait my 125i M sport to arrive in late Sept or early Oct. Are you getting the July-produced/ revised priced model?

No, unfortunately I ordered mine just before the change to the prices/specifications were announced. However, I have compared with the spec that I have ordered and the only thing that I'll be missing out on is the launch control. Although where previously I thought I was getting a bargain i.e. sport auto, nav etc practically thrown in for free, it's a bit disappointing to realise that the "good deal" that I had initially negotiated back in April just simply puts me in line with the current price - perhaps I'm still a couple of K better than the standard price, but originally thought I was getting close to $8K off the price! Might have to have a chat with the dealer about this.

I got mine in Alpine white. Just posted a thread about it.

I like both the Valencia orange and Estoril blue as well but just wasn't willing to pay for metallic paint. What colour did you get yours in?

Actually I just realised that there is one advantage to having ordered pre the changes, and that is I was able to really refine what options I wanted and what I didn't want. For instance, I don't really care about xenons but I do care about the high beam assistant. With the new packages you have to (prior to negotiating) get both together for $2,200 whereas previously I was able to spec just the high beam assistant for $246. So the car that I'm getting is the right spec for me - just a matter of doing a little more negotiating to get it for the right price.

Also, thanks for the manual. I just got my 118i on order.

Thanks for the manual, nice to be able to have it handy on the computer!

I'm in the same boat as you mate but renegotiated down from $75k to $69k on the threat of cancelling my order. Now get mine Friday or Monday....

Mine is in Mineral Grey. I saw a Valencia orange M135 yesterday it looks pretty good.

Thanks!

I'm completely new to iDrive and the manual will surely help getting to know most features before new car arrives in late October.

Hi, As per HEWLVAAR's question, is there a separate book for the M135i?
many thanks
