Quick Update - car goes into build on the 17th April, so I should be in it by mid May(i believe it was around this timescale last time - 4 weeks from start to delivery, sound about right?), I have also added DAB and folding rear headrests.

I have a new 320d M Sport Business Edition for the weekend in Alpine and it looks the muts nuts, so has strengthened my decision to go for white.

The waiting continues.....

mine was ready two weeks after it started build... even though dealer quoted 4 to 6 weeks from build start. think it may have had something to do with it being end of quarter

great spec BTW

Also added the Bluetooth audio option and extra 12v sockets, but dropped the folding headrests in the back as I don't see the point.

What do you think of the Business Edition and the 320? This is what i'm picking up next week, and I've never actually seen one :P Sat Nav any different to the Professional one? Sorry to hi-jack your thread

Very good spec, although the engine is a little underpowered for me, although not lacking(if that makes sense). I believe it is the same sat nav anyway. You will love it

FWIW - someone suggested ditching the Sun Protection for another option. On white, I think it's a must have for the Vegas look so nice pick

I didn't see voice/bluetooth I assume that comes with the pro nav package? If not I would def tick that box.

Unless you really love red interior I pick something more neutral for resale, saying that a fair amount of people love red so prob doesn't make much of a difference. Same goes for wood interiors, I not a fan of the faux wood look but some people love it.

Roll on christmas (for you that is).

Quick update - Car is still due at the start of June, so Ive started amassing some bits;

19" Performance 269 alloys - staggered fitment = front 8", rears 9"
Pirelli Nero Rosso 225/35/19 & 255/30/19, non runflat tyres - These will be with me this week
M3 lip spolier
Iphone dock, to stream the music
Painted front spliters
Performance grille

Should end up looking like this bar the brakes

Love those 269 wheels, your car will look great! Almost ordered my new car in AW as well but chickened out! Not long to wait now, only a couple weeks i've still got 2 months looking forward to your pics with the mods fitted, are you going to get a remap or leave it standard?

Gutted for you, nothing worse than not being able to drive it. How long will you have to wait?

Tell your wife to be careful, sure she will appreciate that

Yes CR, like that, but they are painted - picture on its way shortly.

Arse - haha, could be 3 months in a cast, but should be able to drive after approx 4, as I'll be in a lightweight cast by then. Thankfully, my wife is a very careful driver, she'd had to have been with my list of previous cars

I prefer the look of the painted splitters to the bare carbon.
