Any UK owners placed an order yet?
Hi there
I've just rung my local dealer and he has told me that if I place an order now I can get one of the first cars in June/July. Given it's a hotly anticipated car I'm pretty sure I'll know what the answer is but has anybody in the UK managed to get a discount of any kind? Many thanks.

I ordered mine two weeks ago, no discounts offered at all. Suppose only to be expected, no exact delivery date been given yet but provisionally been told end of June early July!

I ordered M4 black, gone quite safe as it's hard to gauge what to go for without seeing in the flesh! Also gone for black merino leather with black piano interior trim! I like black i suppose, HUD, elec blinds sun protection, internet etc, didn't bother with the parking aid, don't really see the point in that unless a woman is going to drive it(I'll wait for the slating from women buyers)

I currently have an M135i M3 (E92) and M5.
Why? Well why not?! All great cars. I've ordered an M4 but the badges will be pulled off and M3 badges put on. M4 is just BMW marketing stupidity. Neil.

A tiny amount as I'd had two cars from dealer before. I am excited about my first M car, but apprehensive about the DCT as I've never owned an auto before. Anyway, here is full spec and dealer confirmed end of Jun delivery again today.

DCT is awesome, go get them to let you drive an M5.

No problem...I felt the same as you when I ordered my last car with DCT. It will exceed all of your expectations!

Never driven with a DCT, I'm wondering if I've made the right choice ordering a manual! I'm a little old fashioned in my driving a sports car, was always disappointed my brothers porches were auto it didn't feel correct. But everyone seems to love the DCT.

Don't compare it to the old Porsche tiptronic system, that was really awful. Go drive a DCT M5 or v8 M3 before your spec gets blocked.
