Before the order locks in, have you thought about adding M Sport Plus Package to it. A white F32 doesn't look great without sun protection glass.

With the 442 alloys it's minus £5 a month than stock alloys, and M Sport Plus is only £30 considering. its at £1,900 option so only adds £25 a month as the 442 is part of the package. Shame individual leather costs more. Used to £20 a month cheaper than standard leather through Alphadrive.

Also I'd recommend the F36 GC just due to it's every day practically, particular the boot as I never have rear passenger.

I just checked my Alphadrive and the F32 430xd is the cheapest, F32 435xd is only £10 more, F36 435xd GC is £2 more than that, and the F33 435xd convertible is only £8 more than that.

The order is done and dusted now but appreciate what you are saying.

I do like the GC but I've had 3 years of having to drive a large saloon so fancy a coupe for the next 18 months. The fact it's only 18 months is also excellent as it's really not that long until I can change if I find I dislike something - this is also the only reason I stuck with white.

With regards to the pricing differences, I know there will be times I regret not getting the convertible and the sole reason for that was because I prefer the lines of the coupe when the roof is up. The price differences are also exaggerated when you ramp up the mileage, in my case to 30k.

The AlphaDrive scheme is great though isn't it. The OH is awaiting delivery of a fully loaded MINI (XL Media etc) and in some ways I'm more excited to get hold of that.

Come on Fox , The derv haters make me laugh,I went down to Brighton and back to west london mostly 70mph showed 52 mpg. while in Sport I could take most cars.

I passed anAudi RS5 in the middle lane and thought you never see tasty cars on the outside lane ,guess they are looking at the OBC,

I'm often seen clearing the outside lane of the A1

I sometimes do the same on the A3, but not in an automatic tractor - still the A1 is probably more rural!

I don't drive an automatic tractor as you call them, my post was in reference to smashy saying fast cars don't make much progress, I tend to in my M5 when the conditions are right.

I've just had a message letting me know it's arrived!

Wasn't expecting it until the 24th August and was going to leave it until 1st Sept for a 65 plate.

Needless to say I'll be heading over ASAP!
