What discount %age did you achieve? I'm in my final negotiation tomorrow armed with a couple of carwow quotes.

Hi Clive,

Managed about 17% which included a £2,500 BMW deposit contribution.

I have read through that the IR camera seems to be included in the car for attentiveness assistant function, but not sure if it is just a generic mention of it for all ID7 cars.

Not too much longer to wait...

Are you having to travel far to get your car from the dealer you purchased from?

Lucky you - I'm coming down from Edinburgh to Heathrow to collect and then enjoying the ride back over a weekend home.

Not too bothered as will stay somewhere roughly in between on the way home.

None of the dealers in Scotland could get close or were willing to try to match what TRL managed to do for me, so happy in the end to get the spec I wanted for the money I was prepared to spend...

Clivem,

I think we've done allright as I just did a test Carwow request and so far had 3 offers back, the best of which is 9% which still includes the £2,500 from BMW. So I managed about a £10,5k saving whereas these current offers are £5,7k at best.

I never got a cost from TRL but I suspect that he'd have been similar to what I managed in the end. I also tried Park Lane as they are the only BMW owned dealership and will often look to better offers, and even they said the deal I got was a belter that they could really only match or better by a hundred quid or so which hardly seemed worth the effort and was happy to give it to my local as they'll get the servicing etc.

Yup, mine was at status 5300 Pre-Assembly Start late last week, so finished body shop and paint !

Only 5400 Assembly Start and 5500 Assembly Complete before it then starts its journey to the UK!

I've checked a few ships that have recently departed Charleston, SC with one definitely heading to Bremerhaven and the other potentially en route to there via New York first.

I believe that they go to Europe first before heading back to the US via Southampton dropping off UK customers cars...

A few vessels to look out for are Honor and Bosporus Highway. Here's hoping either might contain some week 36 BMW X3 M40i's.

Loch, hoping your car is on one of those ships. Mine however is unlikely to be as it was only at 5300 - Pre-Assembly Start last Friday. I wonder how frequent the sailings are from Charleston to Europe/UK, and also how long it takes to get the vehicles down to Charleston from Spartanburg?

Hoping mine will be on one of these. This is the list of ships due at the Columbus Street Terminal in Charleston (where the BMW's are shipped from) in the next 15 days.

Given that it takes 12 days approx from Charleston to Bremerhaven (first port of call) I'd assume perhaps 15 days to the UK (and who knows how long to clear UK customs), so for a wk 43 delivery (21st October) I'd say mine has to be on a ship no later than next week 16th Sept or the week after (23rd Sept)

I was under the impression all shipments to the UK are completed by Wallenius?

Ah... I wasn't getting that info from the SC Ports website on my phone...

I spoke with my dealer yesterday, my order will arrive in Southampton on 20th September, but the status according to geniuses is 9000 still

BTW, this isn't a 2020 M40i order, hence why slightly ahead

First image lists schedule of ships in next 15 days from Charleston Columbus Street Terminal.

next 4 images are extracted form those ships schedules on Wallenius website, showing their routes and estimate times.

There seems to be some discrepancy between the dates and times on the SC Ports schedule versus those on the Wallenius schedules - albeit the ships names seem to correspond.
