What colour and wheels did you go for.

I went Storm Bay with 1021 personalised rims …. but actually now I’m thinking I should have opted for the Blue Ridge Mountain or Grey Oxide both with Bronze trim?

I went Phytonic blue with 1021 wheels. No bronze trim or crystal interior.

That’s nice …
It’s an intriguing colour as it changes according to the lightand the angle you’re looking at.

…. and it hides the dirt!

good choice I think!

Thank you. It does need better wheels. The BMW offerings are a bit busy.

I second that - these “air efficient” wheel designs are far from glamorous - and are worse in the flesh compared to the brochure.

Not sure if that will change in the short term

The Mercedes EQS SUV has some interesting wheel design options - but the pics are mostly pre-production glamour shots so maybe the actuals will be more mundane??

I saw the 'AMG' wheels on the EQS SUV and on that car they're spectacular. I've been perusing the online wheelmongers' websites. There are some fine OZ and BBS offerings, but alas I am piss poor.

I know what you mean. I looked up 22” 1021 individual wheels looking for a decent picture and the BMW Rims are going for £3,200 a set with 25% off - not including tyres!

So list price with Tyres would be circa £5,400 - for a set of wheels and tyres! madness!

I think mine will be around the same time as yours - week 9. Should arrive late March.

Hi NikB - did you hear any more about your build?

I have a VIN and it suggests the vehicle was built on 27 Feb, but has since been awaiting "Factory Inspection" before it is released into the wild?

I'm concerned as this inspection phase is now >2 Weeks and doesnt ring true in my mind and dreading a Delivery Stop!.

I've asked for an accurte update - maybe its just the Portal that isn't updated??.

 

[NikB]

Hi there,
Mine has been built. In the app it's been showing as delivery in progress for the last week. I would like more detailed info but we don't get the same as the americans get it seems.
I guess the portal isn't that accurate?

 

[NikB]

Checked again with BMW - order status 155, still scheduled for delivery to dealers next week. Fingers crossed.

 

[Croddlebopper]

Apparently, my M60 is on the boat - i think these 2 could be holding hands!

 

[NikB]

Seems likely - how did you get that info? I asked bmw last night but was still as inspection phase

 

[Croddlebopper]

My order is a lease and I asked them to contact the dealer directly to get an update after their Portal reported the vehicle as being built but awaiting factory inspection since Feb 27.
I trust the guy who looked it up but hope they weren’t just making me happy with some BS.

The fact that yours is logged as being in inspection as mine is still on the web has me wondering 🤭

Let’s just hope the portal updates are lagging. 🤞🏻

 

[NikB]

Hopefully that's the case - if you google it then I think it's a common finding.
Wonder how long the boat takes to get over from Germany

 

[Croddlebopper]

Not long - loading and unloading plus crossing is inside 5 days but there’s another inspection at the Port of entry I believe ??

 

[NikB]

Quite likely inspections everywhere. I was given a provisional date of 24th for delivery to the dealership so will see what happens.

 

[Croddlebopper]

The very lastest I just received....
The dealer said "the vehicle is at the port of Exit awaiting transport to the UK".

So not on the boat yet!

 

[NikB]

I just checked again - status 182, is the BMW chat a bot or a real person? The car is now estimated to be delivered to the dealership on 3rd April
