Good choice - looks good!
I still haven't seen DSB in the flesh - it might well be that mine will be the first I actually see - Unless yours runs up and down the M3!
Can you post some shots / opinions of the copper as it's bound to help someone out.

Lovely car .. Love the wheels I think the 18's are nicer than the 19's on the xline

Great pics Kermit. The new X-line trim seems to bring out the best in all the colours. I was never a fan of DSB on the 2011 F25 but your LCI looks gorgeous.

Would love to know what the breakdown of colours and specs are for the Lci models that have been ordered

Are the three on here the only Melbourne reds?

Someone on here had access to this data for the UK and posted some really interesting stats a year or two ago. It featured breakdowns by colour, spec, engine size etc and had granular data for all the different options. Unfortunately I'm too drunk to find it, although I have tried. (hic)

Was it the posts by "Horsey" in the "UK Orders" threads?

Car looks lovely.. see you managed to get the proper wheels on your car.. lucky man..

What do you think of the Mocha interior - I have ordered it and seems very nice. But hard to tell as looks different colours in different photos i have seen

My May ordered car is due at Southampton possibly in time for it to me delivered before the leasing company cutoff of 23rd Nov. It's probably close to Southampton by the sound of it. Experiencing the LCI improvements will be interesting - I hope that'll be the case!

If BMW are using "K" Line ships, then the "Columbia Highway" will be at Southampton this weekend. It's just entering Zeebrugge now. After that it's off to Bremerhaven.

I've a feeling mine is on that one....

The WW ship "Courage" docks at Southampton on the 16th, so it might be arriving then and you'll get it sometime that week, or is the 17th a fixed date?

Mine will have a short trip up the M3. Thinking about it, it's got to pass by my office to get to the dealer...

Not sure email said "Just had a call to say it will be ready for 17/11/14" I took that as on the 17/11/14

[TuffLittleUnit]

Don't they all go up to Doncaster/Sheffield for pre delivery prepping and checking? I might be thinking of Audi but I was reasonably sure that the car doesn't go straight off the ship to the dealer.

My X3 gets swapped for a temporary A4 lease tomorrow ... it'll be straight off to auction at Manheim Leeds. It was a Hitachi lease which looks like it means auction on Monday 10th November ... I'm almost tempted to go along to see who adopts it.

Not good not good at all !

I'm still hopeful of late January for mine, the only time I've waited as long for a car was when I ordered my mini in 2003 which was a 6 month wait.

Some pics of the copper. In all but direct sunlight it's a lovely dark, well, copper. It complements the mocha really well (which looks a bit lighter than it really is in these pics). In direct sunlight it brings out the sparkles in it.
