You want a 4WD car though? So "bad" news.

Hi Teknoplug,
Ideally yes would like 4WD for twisty snowy lanes.. So I may be disappointed if no x drive in UK..cannot really think what else to get. Not a mini countryman.
I have a Land Rover for really bad weather but need a run about that can cope when it snows for the trouble and strife.

Shoot.
May have to think hard and fast as to whether a 2wd will cope.. It looks a cracking car and I have never bought a BMW before so was looking forward to the experience.

Yep, £29,995 list. Very very good value.
Few brilliant write ups in the usual mags and online @ EVO/Autocar etc.
Sounds like a belting steer - rear drive, amazing engine, epic sound (check the crackle and pop exhaust sound on youtube) and as quick as a 1M for under £30k.
Only the look of the front end puts me off, subjective though.

£29995 for 3 door, £30,575 for 5 door, only RWD in the UK i'm afraid.
Cars arriving over next few weeks for first customer sold orders ( bit of a delay due to alloy wheel change )
Customer orders ordered in past 4 weeks arriving mid October.
It's going to be an awesome car !

Hi Greg,
Thanks for that. Do you work for BMW? I note you are an M Power manager.
Any reason why when I went into my BMW garage they could not order me a car?
To be honest they were clueless... with a capital C.

Update!
Went to Coopers in York, very helpful.
Cars available for delivery mid November.
Looking at a white car..comments?
Best option to purchase..comments?
The only addition I would spec is rear parking sensor (for the wife not me!) and sunroof.
Also saw that its only a group 22 to insure which is the icing on the cake, well done BMW.
;-)

Whether its in the right or wrong section lets not be too worried.
For others who may be interested it really is good value as a poster mentioned. VERY good value.
Just sourced a car now with various options from BMW dealer. Book price is £32,085. Dealer has come back all in for £28,000. Delivery First week in November. White, red leather, sunroof, tints and Alpina stripe. 5 year servcice.
I have two other dealers sharpening their pencils now.

So are you just phoning various dealers asking if there are any cancellations? For £28000 thats really a good deal if the options are right. Is it for a 3 or 5 door?
