Is this car at the dealer for the U.K. launch, which I understand is tomorrow, July 19? What exactly does it mean to say the car will be launched on this day, since we know orders have already been taken for those who put down deposits?

Went to my dealer preview on Friday, wow what a great looking car. Yes the UK main launch was on 19th - it just means dealers have it in the show room.
Have a test drive booked for next week...yipee!
BMW have 14 launches this year ! so much to see.

@Harold - nice set of pics.

I guess I'm surprised that they have one to keep in the showroom and with which to give test drives, because I thought most of them were already pre-ordered by customers.

It's Tera World, with the Dalbergia Brown leather color. I wanted that interior with my Crystal White Pearl exterior, but as you probably know, the initial cars for the U.S. are only coming with the Pure Impulse world option.

The only thing I can think of is that it might be a demo car. I would be appalled if I found out a dealer was letting someone other than me test drive a car I ordered without my permission.

Yes, each i dealership has been given a BMW owned demo car. They will eventually be sold on to customers, or so I am told.
