woohoo. I'm pretty sure about the options, but I think there's still time to correct things if needed. Personally I couldn't justify Premium pack. I thought of VDC and IAS instead of Adaptive, but probably got a little carried away with the BMW marketing there. HK is a luxury, but I'd regret it if I didn't get it and ever felt like the bass wasn't enough or the sound wasn't clear in any way. Thought about black wheels but looks a little too gangsta for me...

Edit: added premium!

Congrats on the order, but what suspension did you go with?

Huh? Well it's an msport with adaptive drive. I expect it's gonna be better than the car with VDC I drove and it'll be miles better than my current e61 on standard suspension!

Haha. Thought you were just being cheeky coz I went all OCD on listing the options

To be fair it doesn't actually explicitly say on the order sheet or the price list what suspension you get when you spec m sport...

Great spec, makes my 530d Msport order look a bit poverty spec
My order was signed off yesterday and delivery date is 26/6 - they must have taken a lot of orders recently, when is yours due ?
Out of interest have you driven a G30 530d, on paper although there is only a small hike in bhp over the old engine there are 60 more torques which must be a good thing ( only 30 less than the 535d f10 ) ?
I ordered mine on the back of a G30 520d msport test drive coupled with 4 years of my F11 530d MS.

Haha yeah. I've been driving my e61 for 7 1/2 years so wanted to load up. Honestly I'm impressed with myself for not adding the premium pack!

I did drive the 530d m sport xdrive up here and it was very nice. Just effortless pace and easily surpassed the drive of the f31 330d I leased a couple of years ago. Cornering was sweet. I particularly noticed the xdrive - it was wet and coming out of a roundabout pushing hard where my other cars would cut out the power to settle the slip, the power just went to the front and the car not only fell back into line but kept pulling forwards. I'm not a great driver or anything and don't believe one needs to slide out he back to enjoy a rwd car. The x drive actually seems like the perfect niche for me. My head suggested 520d for about 10 minutes but that drive just sealed it for us.

The interior was cognac and a huge leap forwards from my e61 as well. Really looking forward to it.

I didn't get an exact date - he said start of June so we'll see. He said he'd watch out for any slots coming free earlier.

Thanks.

Pretty much in line with this thread - half way through march. I just read your news in the other thread - sounds horrendous and selfishly I hope it's not a systemic thing and also not selfishly that date comes back in for you.

Yeah i hope it does.

The dealership called me today and said they have got in touch with the factory that is building it and trying to find out why the date is moved or get an earlier date. As that is what they said to me when i went in.

Will keep you posted

I'm looking forward to your thought about the engine and drivetrain, especially since you're getting xDrive (we only get the 530d with xDrive now).
