No it wasn't a press car, I ordered it in May 2003 when we got the emails from BMW. The first UK registrations were July 03. A few cars (mine included) arrived in July but were slightly delayed at BMW's Thorne plant, due to BMW forgetting to fit washers to Xenon optioned cars. They had to be retro-fitted at Thorne - hence mine being registered in August, when it finally arrived at the dealer.
So you were the very first owner on the logbook.

Cool, ust dont see many 03 about, Mainly 53's and 04s.

Thanks for telling me. Were all the July cars delayed or just a few?
