She's on order that EBII 330d!!! Over the moon with excitement, child on the way in 2 week then the other estimated 12 week... I went for the following spec:

BMW F30 330d M Sport Estoril Blue II Red Leather.

Bi Xenons with headlight washers
Professional Media (Wasn't sure about getting this one)
19" 403 alloys (Look b.e.a.utiful)
Harman Kardon (Really wanted this one, being a former DJ I'm addicted to sound quality.)
Rear Tints (standard with kids really)

My First BMW ever my father in law just sold his beautiful 330ci about 10 year old but damn it was a beauty and it had a gutsy engine! So I imagine this is going to be just as amazing. Test driving on Monday (Nervous) the guys said if I didn't like it they would cancel the order (Although I seriously doubt that I won't like it)

Just want to thank all on here for advice in the run up to getting the car you've been stars!

Did you order it as M Sport+?

Ah, it's a 'child on the way' car!

I don't think so. What is the difference?

No haha genuinely have a daughter coming into the world in around 2-3 weeks. Just want to say thanks again rich!

[rich1068]

I totally understand.

I have some sort of knee jerk reaction to having children in that as soon as I find out yet another one is on the way I have to channel all my attention and energy into getting a new car. It's my coping mechanism. I did it when I was getting married too.

Some men bury their head in the sand. I bury my head in a car brochure.

Probably not a lot if you are paying cash, but it's a new pack which includes Xenons, 19" wheels, tint and HK.

As a package it will mean that lease prices with it on will be cheaper than ordering it as separate options.

You get a few of the popular options together at a lesser price.

IIRC it includes Harman Kardon, Xenons (not adaptive though), 19" wheels, M-Sport brakes and sun protection glass.

Just looked on the web designer and it doesn't give that option yet only on the 335d.

I had to sell my car to get married. Now for a 22 year old with a 1 year old son already I was distraught. This is me filling that void in my life once more

I've one on order too, similar spec apart from the 19's...

Test drove one for 24hrs, it's an amazing bit of kit!

How they've managed to get a family size car with those emissions and great MPG hit 100mph as quick as a Ferrari F355 is beyond me!

Just have to wait for the lease company to give me my delivery date now....

My first post having loitered on here in the run up to getting my EBII 320d MSport.

For my 2p I have 2yr old and actually went for the integrated blinds as I felt that the tints would make the rear too dark during our long winters. I also felt that the tints on an F30 EBII don't suit it as much as they do on an F31.

Unless you particularly want the look of the tints from the outside then I would say the blinds offer same child-friendly benefits but give you a lot more flexibility for dark days in winter and (IIRC) at a lower price than the tints.

I have always loved my tints, but I was going to go for the blinds.

Congrats

I would consider upgrading to VIZ pack, the adaptive lights are A-MAZING!!!

And as has been said, if you upgrade to Sport plus you would get the M Sport brakes in addition to most of the extras you've ordered, for about the same price?!?!?! (The website is confusing, but believe HK, 19's, Sun protec, M Brakes etc came out at £2400 ish individually and Sport+ is £1900. Worth asking the question

Oh don't get me wrong. They're all either through the business or on the never never!

Nice! With my child due in 5wks I went for a similar spec'd 328i white/black with the Sports+ Pack - no pro media though.

If you don't go for the sports+ pack then definitely choose the viz pack. I originally just went fox xenons then realised for just £200 I'd be missing out on adaptive lights.

He hasn't let me know where I am testing yet I will find out Monday and I will let you know the time scale as soon as I find out the ed

I think delivery is influenced by a number of factors. As I understand it dealers get so many build slots (their quota depends i immagine on their sales volumes/ track record) per month and if they have reached the quota when you order you may have to wait for the order to go in. My dealer was quite up front when I ordered in early March quoting delivery in late June. Currently to be around the 26th (car built I believe)

Timing also seems to depend on spec. Of course cars with a popular colour/ spec may be immediately available if a dealer somewhere in the system has one available or on order.
