Nice one - that SHOULD hit the spot. Keep us posted?

When it comes to re-sell you won't regret the LCI? Better residuals compared with non?
Will do.

Been messing around with the configurator on the BMW website this weekend.
I love the new colour available, Brooklyn Grey Metallic. The LCI also comes with proper M style wing mirrors now. Brooklyn grey goes well with the black grill, which is now the only colour option for the grill on the M40’s.

I’ve been looking a lot at the new styling and it is growing on me. I prefer the new front to the back though. Very angular on the top edges of the bumper under the tail lights, a bit Audi Q2?

Interior wise the LCI has a nicer looking central vent area, looks like the digital display for cabin temps has moved up from lower down to between the center vents.

Not sure about a new style steering wheel. The options shows a different style wheel to select heated steering wheel to the wheel shown in the interior 360* pictures, so not sure of the style of wheel in the LCI.

Been thinking, I’ve paid £1000 deposit almost two months ago now for my build to start. The fact that BMW never gave me a build slot and now that my pre LCI build will be an LCI, it’s not really my fault that M front seats are no longer part of the M Sport Pro pack. That’s really a problem for the dealer and BMW to work out cost wise. The dealer shouldn’t really be expecting me to now pay an extra £890 for seats that were in the pack I selected almost two months ago.

I’ll suggest that when the sales guy call me tomorrow.

And I think I’ll be doing the carbon trim on a new build…….if it gets that far!
