Yes a few do, seems to be the value over £75k and some insurers want a tracker fitted.

LV sent me some docs through for a quote and thought it was quite good until I read through it and it requires a tracker.

Think I have decided on elephant car insurance as it also includes the 12 month new car cover i.e gap insurance for vehicles up to 12 months old.

LV also offer this, we had a 335d stolen and this covered us with LV. They have also insisted on a tracker with out quote also. I already have Web Fleet (TOMTOM installed trackers on all my vehicles.

Update on the mobility kit...my dealer sent me an email tonight to say they have made enquires again to bmw uk through the warranty process and they have agreed the car should come with a mobility kit when its not runflat tyres so they have now ordered me kit free of charge.

Think I’ll try elephant as well as M&S then

Also worth being aware that LV also appear to have added an additional Excess of £200 if you do not use their approved repairers.

Same for me still waiting on reply from bmw uk.....dealer beat them to it. See how long i have to wait for it to arrive tho.

Pretty poor really. There is no way that should be able to supply Non RFT tyres without any tyre kit, ESPECIALLY if no spare!

[Wills2]

They need to provide a kit that's a piss take.

[Zero71]

Collecting mine on Monday afternoon. Dealer insists mine has the kit - also says it lists Mobility Kit on the order (doesn't mention it on the VIN Decoder).

[X3M40i_Nev]

Nice one, look forward to the pics 👍

Regarding the replacement gap is this an extra or just included? I can’t see anything about this on the website

Same as LV in the other post on this page

Hi, Just about to order one of these machines in the Uk too

What are people managing to get extra out of the dealers? We’re part ex’ing our old car too so wondering what/if anything I’m best to push for? We want the tracker for sure given our L post code!

Obviously we’re getting the pcp deal with ~£20600 in contributions already

Just included, in the quote I got through it was stated in the "what we cover" section . It mentions any car up to 12 months old is covered

Depends really on the individual deal. Dealers will give a lot of discount but they will only however go so far. Some getting ceramic paint protection/GAP insurance/run in service thrown in to name a few .

I'm sure there will be others that have had different deals ...

Getting the dealer to take my high mileage M140i with an exhaust issue and in need of a bonnet repair was the bonus!

Looking forward to seeing it, still waiting on a kit...

Make sure you get mobility kit also ask for the RIS to be part of deal i got it just said others on forum got it at first said no but got it to clinch deal

[moff]

I got £22k discount and managed to swallow up £7k in negative equity in my deal. Mobility kit thrown in.

I should have got the RIS included but coming from a non M car and a previous AMG owner where there was no RIS I'd forgotten about it.

Oh well, a £440 bill next month for Xmas!

I haven't bothered with gap insurance this time as I've not go that many extras. I think it makes more sense on loaded cars that need return to invoice.

£22k, that'll be one of the best I've found.

Car I want has ~£5100 of options too, I should be able to squeeze some more from them! Does anyone know how reserving the cars works? Can someone else bag it while I'm haggling?
