Does anyone know when Spartanbourg starts implementing new features? In Dingolfing, etc. the "model year" (Modelljahr in German) is always starting beginning of July, same in SB?

Really love my midrand interior, just wish the contrast stitching extended across the upper dash and upper door, still looks epic though. What paint colour are you going for?

[DFTBA]

Hi Stefan,

thanks for your reply. Not to worried about the dash as that would probably cause too much distraction when driving.

I am going for Sophisto (DGM). Not my favourite colour, but given the limited choice… Wanted to
go for Malachite, but 6k € is a big no-no. Can use parts of it otherwise, for example by taking the mid rand interior

Mid rand will look great against that colour. 👍

[DFTBA]

Agree, mid rand is probably best with Sophisto or Black! I think that Sakhir fits well with Sophisto, too though.

List is £94k I think!

Meant to look at the spec sheet, didn't think it had carbon so it must have had EVERYTHING else.

*edit - yes this is the car they are trying to sell for £90k! It's ultimate pack which does include carbon - mirror caps and strut brace only though, that's a tonne of cash extra for very very little IMO!

Is the rebate situation in UK that bad? We got loads of discount on the other side of the channel.

Not all bad though in the grand scheme of things.

I'll make up for it by consuming copious amounts of coffee while working from Sytner and ogling at the attractive female staff

Have you unleashed the beast yet mate ? I am finding I am driving in Sport + most of the time now .. just so I can explore the sonic boom of redline upshifts

We still get lots of discounts but they have been reduced significantly over the past month.

I managed just short of £20k off my new X4M with 2.9% APR interest but the APR has gone up significantly and the discounts are closer to £10k.

With the SPY X3M above given its new and unregistered the dealer will be able to discount. Just a tough time to sell with the new APR's etc.

Just wanted to say hello to this forum.

Placed an order for one in MBB, black merino, 892s and tech plus pack on the 28th April.

Was pleased to be told we had an end of June build slot and hopefully end of July/early August handover. Fingers crossed.

Can't wait!!!

Fingers crossed for you buddy, I hope your build goes as scheduled, but you'll see a number of us on here have had some quite painful experiences to date, that said others have been fine. It's a bit of a lottery at the moment!

But, when it does arrive, be confident that you e ordered an absolute beast of a car.

Welcome to the forum, and it’s going to be a slow wait to your delivery. But once you get it? Drive it like you stole it (after the RIS of course)

Hi BoneDoc58 and welcome.

That's a good level of info you have been given and hope that works out for you. I have had an order in for an MBB since February and still have not heard anything. I am expecting delivery late 2022 or maybe even early 2023 at this rate. I will be following you order progress updates closely

Thanks MikeEcosse15. Sorry to hear about your progress! After reading earlier posts, I'm a little less optimistic now but will deffo be putting up updates here :-)

So after much chasing of Park Lane Forces team I have been told car can be delivered in 'May'! Got to love a vague delivery date, at least progress being made.
Now need to sort GAP insurance out, not buying their stupidly inflated products.

Hopefully a call next week to fix date for delivery

Cheers for the code, now just need to decided which one to buy!

Thinking replacement plus given the discounts obtained through Park Lane!

Basically when your car hits the port in Southampton it takes 10 days for delivery assuming no hitches clearing customs and no issues with PDI.
