330d xdrive on order- finally

chetalien · 11-26-2013, 05:50 PM

After much contemplating whether to get a convertible/coupe or a saloon decided to go with the f30 330d xdrive. I had to sadly let go of my beloved Z4MR which I had for nearly 5yrs- my longest serving car.

Here are the specs

330d xdrive M sport
WHite with coral red leather
high glass black trim
M sport Plus pack
Vis Pack
Por NAv
Heated seats
Electric seats
Rear head restraints
Grey shade band for windscreen

This is my first new car and quite pleased. I have bought and sold lots of used car but somehow this feels different.
Looking forward to get it.
I know I didnt get the much debated Adaptive suspension but wasnt sure after reading reviews for xdrive, so decided to skip it and save some dosh.

Ordered about 10 days ago dealer says will hopefully be here end of this yr but not so sure. what is the average time?
Anything else do i need to add to the specs.

Congratulations! Great spec and a popular colour combo. I was in a similar boat as you and my last 6 cars were convertible BMWs.. It was hard to let go, but with a 'baby on board' needed the extra doors... I specced a sun roof, to 'slightly' compensate for the loss of convertible.

More options; Enhanced Bluetooth, required for music streaming over Bluetooth. Electric folding/dipping mirrors. Useful when parking, they do a great job at protecting those 19' 403m wheels!!

I got my car within 6 weeks of ordering, hope all stays to plan and you get car by end of year!

Interesting, will defo think about the EBT but folding mirrors, think will have to live without it. Was thinking of sunroof but a very expensive option.

Great spec (apart from the poor nav

), nice to see another AW coming along, was starting to think everyone just ordered EB II!

Not sure what the cost is but if you can stretch to folding/dipping mirrors they are worth it (but then again so is EBT)

Congrats, now the wait.

I like the spec, once you order the essential m sport + pack the visibility is a no brainer. its not that clear in the configurator but thanks to Robert on here I have gone for it. (adds to gfv as well)
