What have you gone for, delivery updates, questions etc.....

My deal;
M135i, mineral grey, Plus pack (w/ 557m), Berlin interior trim option, 8k pa, 3+35, £342.74pm (inc service pack as all their quotes include).
4 month lead time.

Initial contact for a quote was [e-mail]

Well done.

135i storm bay with sun protection glass
3+35 6k miles £306

Paper work submitted Friday 5th
Approved 8th
Order docs signed 8th

Acvm says ordered submitted to BMW on the 9th and awaiting validation. Current delivery estimate 26th July...

I understand once you get a factory order you can live chat BMW Genius and get a little more info on order progress.

Leanne from AC is managing the order, who I have already chased for info (must resist doing this). She has confirmed will share info as soon as she has it

26th July!!!!!!

My Cupra is due back 9th August ish and ALD won’t extend (apparently).

Hope those timescales are very pessimistic.

Anyonr now if the option for the performance tyres are free on the 128ti i was looking on the bmw configurator they seem to be offering it as free option

M135i, mineral grey, Plus pack (w/ 557m) & lumbar.

Current lease goes late June although I can informally extend, so the four months delivery estimate should work.

Chaps, question re the 128ti (a lot of back and forth with David, poor chap). Does anyone know if I can spec a colour change for the awful (in my opinion!) red fins? The savings per month, as well as the insurance saving means this is likely the route I’m going to go down now but those red fins!

He’s also said an armrest is standard (no option available for through load) but doesn’t appear that way in the images on the bmw config?

Torn!

Funny you should mention this as its got me thinking twice too. The red trim just doesn't do anything for me. Officially they will be black with either Blue or Red as the eternal colour but from factory you wont be able to change that on any other colour. That's according to my local dealer anyway. The suggestion was 'if you want them black you'll have to spray them or order them separately and get them fitted'. Nobody was available in parts when I called to see what the cost of ordering the trim in Black was but in all honesty I think I already know I'd better be sitting down when I find out....

In the configurator if you go to the bottom and select all optional extras and then you can pick ‘Deletion of exterior design elements’.

I sent my application off last night so just waiting to hear back now!

I've opted for;

BMW M135i
Storm Bay
Sun Protection Glass
Servicing
1+35
8k
£345 per month

Can't wait! I did consider the 128ti, but it doesn't have the Virtual Cockpit and its a £1000 cost option to add.

Very, very pleased with the result. Here’s hoping the app goes through fine.

Whats the plus pack? I cant see it on the configurator.

Has anyone had a quote for a M135i, metallic paint, tech and pro pack, 10k 3+35 ? I've been quoted 387.99, 412.04 with servicing and tyres.

Seen Pro pack also mentioned but it's the same thing. Basically 19" alloys (552m or 557m), Sun Protection Glass and Harmon Kardon.

Someone had a quote on the main lease thread on pro and tech, 8k miles though, think it was circa £366 on 3+35.

The 552 wheels add weight to the car which increases the CO2 and subsequently the VED on the car. This was going to increase mine by £11 a month, so opted I for the 557 wheels to keep it at the same price. Worth knowing for people.

Got a quote for exactly that but 8k and was 388 with full maintenance

[Gunslinger18]

Been quoted 3x35 8k @ £268 poverty spec

Tempted to go for it as a replacement to our 290 Cupra. Can't be any worse on fuel!

[Steve vRS]

Has anyone got a price on a high mileage lease? I've asked for prices for 15k and 20k miles on a ti.

Only the 557's for the cheapest lease deal, the 553 make the price more expensive due to Co2 / VED.

[leedsutd79]

Been looking at the configurator, 552 and 557 alloys both have the same g/km (both 19s). Do ppl mean stick with the 18s for a lower ved tax band?
