Hi guys,

I finally signed on the dotted line to order my new F30.

Spec is 318D M Sport Saloon Auto
Alpine White with Red Leather
Brushed aluminium with black gloss
Heated seats
HK
19 inch wheels
Privacy Glass
Updated M brake calipers
Adaptive suspension
Visibility pack
Black panel display
Parking distance control
Black Grill
Debadged all round
Twin exhaust with corresponding rear diffuser

Looking at delivery around the end of Feb.

My first ever brand new car... Looking forward to breaking its virginity

Lol

Sounds a lovely spec. How much was the exhaust? I fancy getting that for my 320D when it arrives

DazC · 12-06-2013, 01:45 PM

Sounds good.

It's about Â£360 fully fitted with a new rear diffuser.

That is a big spec!

Does it have M Sport Plus Pack?

Is there any specific reason you ordered the 318d?

IMHO ditch the adaptive suspension and black panel display (fairly under used with nav let alone without it) and get 320d instead, it is considerably more powerful!

Ideally wanted the 330d msport touring, but computer said no.

Well the fleet manager did!

Since it is a company car, the choice was a 318d msport, 320d sport or 325d SE.

As soon as I saw the m sport in the flesh I knew I had to have it with all the extra toys.

Yes msport plus pack, and vis pack to exploit the savings

I paid £307 fitted.

They wanted £467 first and were changing for labour but a bit of negotiating and they said they would fit it free of charge

Congrats. Your first new car is always a really special occasion that you will not forget.

Sounds like a lovely specification that you will enjoy. Be sure to post pictures when it finally arrives.

Nice spec, well done!

kitster · 12-06-2013, 02:27 PM

That's what they told me. I ended up getting it for a lot less than that.

I see, yes it has to be M Sport imo too!

Couldn't you persuade the fleet manager? Or pay the extra yourself? A friend of mine did that to get the MB C Class he wanted as company car.

Great sounding spec. Really like the red leather with the AW.

J33lus · 12-07-2013, 06:11 PM

Will post pics when it finally arrives.

Eccles Ken · 12-08-2013, 02:14 AM

Just a thought. I have done lots of iterations of SE Modern Luxury to get my final order.

If you are stuck on a firms budget, you might prudently look at the Basic car and build all you facilities.

On the 330d I can save £700 or so on the same facilities between a built up SE over a msport. On PCP it means not a lot of difference but if a firm has an upper cash limit, you might be able to upgrade your engine a bit. Oh sorry you will lose the Msport badge and some trim levels!
