I see that the M60 price has gone up in the UK again - it was £116k at the end of last year, £119k as of the start of Jan, and is now showing as nearly £123k. Some of the options have had a ~10% price bump too.

I think the iX50 may have gone up as well as a fully spec'd one is now £123k.

Not sure if it’s worth that much extra? Going a mad TBH.
“Priced to the point of pain” - same selling model as used by the supermarkets now …. Or better known as gouging!!

On your new build, do you have the new “Battery Precondition for charging” button that’s been muted??

Also forgot to ask about Parking Pro manoeuvres from outside vehicle with iPhone??
This would be helpful in the supermarket car parks. 😉

I have not seen a button for this. Any ideas where to look?

Yes the price of the m60 has risen sharply. Luckily I was price protected on my purchase.
My dealer had a showroom M60, and it was basically the same spec as mine, and was £9K more.

Sorry I have no idea and I’m unfamiliar with iD8.
It was stated to be on March onwards vehicles so we may miss out if it’s hardware dependant - there’s a lot of rumour but not so much fact about the 2024 IX iDrive build hardware and software.
all the configurations I’ve seen are still showing ID8 for MY2024 - no 8.5 or 9?

this article is interesting but???

Perfect!
Thanks

Sadly not. My spec didn't go through on the order, so the wrong car is being delivered. Luckily a reorder won't take as long, so I've done that. If anyone wants a Storm Bay + Castanea leather + panoramic sunroof + 1020 wheels there'll be one available in the UK in a week.

My reorder has been built (albeit with different wheels to the ones I wanted)! and is status 182 - handover to carrier. Should be here first week of April...

Not too long to wait now.
