I didn’t, cos I think I’d have had to add yet another pack to get it, plus it’s not MSport suspension, it’s the standard, so I’m hoping it will be comfy enough. Hoping!!

Congratulations. I enjoy my530e, I predict you will yours. The real test to me was the two weeks I was with a rental mustang while my 2018 530e was at the body shop. Then on Sunday my garage door cracked and I couldn't open and close it till it was replaced on Wednesday. So from Sunday afternoon till Wednesday I had to park outside and couldn't charge my 530e. Both incidents made me really appreciate the BMW.

Congrats , this now the hard part!
Make sure you find the threads here on how to track your car. Your dealer should have an order number and you ask the bmw "genius" on the bmw website for the status. Once it starts building it goes quickly and is built within the week. You can then track the delivery. When I ordered my car I was able to even (through a bit of detective work ) follow the ship it was on in real-time navigating the English Channel and knew when it had docked at Southampton. So I knew when to expect a call from the dealer. Now the challenge on the day you pick it up is to not grin, bet you can't avoid doing so! You'll do your best to be calm and cool but fail miserably! |

I need to get it delivered before end February as VAT increases here from the Covid reduced rate of 21% to 23% on 1st March.

So, while I’m waiting, is there anything I should be looking at, in terms of accessories, services I need to sign up for, BMW online, etc?

You can download the my BMW app, and create a sign on for it. When you eventually get your VIN you can add your car.
Also maybe look into the service plans that they offer and see if it’ll be worth it for the amount of miles etc you do. I am told they let you claim back any unused credit, so we went for it. I also bought myself a nice keyring from the BMW online shop |

Genius came back to me yesterday and confirmed that the car wasn’t scheduled as yet, but should be completed on the 21st December.
I presume that will just be at the end of the production line, then transport stage.

I was told I wouldn’t have it till mid February!
Nice present for Christmas, but I’ll have to wait till January for 2021 registration.

Of all the features, i predict that the one you will love the most will be the HUD. It is addictive to see all the most important information right in front of you on the windscreen.
The one I would have wanted, but BMW won't sell it in the USA, is the 545e. Now that is a car! |
