F30 (LCI) 340i M-Sport - ordered!

[matt21]

I got a quote from Coast2Coast on a well specced 340i Touring which I was pleased to see came with a 30% discount!

First thing this morning a BMW dealer called confirming the price. I am a few months off being in a position to order. Still can't decide 340i or 3 year old M5. If I can still get a 340i at this price I will be tempted!

Few questions:

For the oyster interior do you have to have cream dash?
Is comfort access worth it?
How much is service pack?
What tyres do they come with? Can you get MPSS?
How good is heated steering wheel?

Thinking following spec.

340i Touring
Grey
Oyster (depending on dash)
Comfort pack
Comfort opening
Pro nav with HUD
M Sport plus pack
Folding mirrors

I have had my 340i Touring since November. It is absolutely fantastic. The engine gearbox combination makes it a joy to drive. I am sure anyone getting one will be very happy with their choice.

Can you share the detail of the quote? I have a C2C quote on a similar spec, and its closer to 20% than 30%.
cheers

As good as the 8-spd Auto is, until BMW allows me to spec a manual 'box on an F31 340i, I'm out. No great loss to BMW, I'm sure!

Quote may be missing a few of the items of spec, but said RRP of £45300 and price came back at £34700

[ghibbett]

So 23.4% then.

Can't answer any of the questions other than the Heated Steering Wheel is one of my favourite options on our X3.

Thanks anyway.

I ordered on to replace my 135. I didn't bother with a test drive, but I'm assuming it will be like a 135 just a bit bigger. At £45k it's not a credible price but knock off 20% or so and it looks good value. My p/ex was good as well.

I would have liked to spec a couple of things I'd had on my 135 (electric seats and adaptive) but I decided I could justify th cost nearly £1k for the seats!

I did however go for the m sport brakes. I couldn't live without bigger discs and blue calliper, I feel like a right tart.

My discount equated to 24% off list price, so happy with that.

When I bought F10 the dealer opened with 9k off before any options, or any haggling.

I'm not greedy. The deal was good enough for me. I'm using company dividends so it doesn't really feel like 'my' money anyway - must stop thinking like that!! :lol

[matt21]

The coast2coast prices for these have gone up by £1500

BMW I understand have reduced their support from £5750 to £4250 for Q2

[SelocMole]

God, this waiting for delivery is a drag. It feels like it's been ages but I've got about 2 months to wait!!

Any positive driving experiences that current owners want to share, to keep my spirits up?

Just had a call from my dealer confirming delivery is now the last week in May or first week in June - had originally been slated for end August or September.

Didn't get quite as good a deal as some people in this thread, but about £9500 off list (when including servicing and seat/paint protection).

As mine is now getting close I had a look to see how much the insurance was going to be.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out my premium would reduce by £50 when compared to my out going M135i.

[aussieal]

Having read this thread over lunch, I've just got myself a quote on a mineral grey, manual saloon with saddle brown leather from c2c.

Inevitably I loaded it up with some options and it came out at £34,940, which included a £9k discount.

Now just need to turn my mind to the man maths to go from an 07 330i saloon to this for no reason, when I do less than 5k miles a year

My delivery date is currently showing as 17 June. Fingers crossed it gets here quicker than that though!

Mine hasn't changed from when I ordered it, so the 12 weeks I was quoted looks like it will be about right.

Mine was due mid May but speaking to the genius seems to be at early June now.
