Good to see you back Greg....no doubt you'll be aware that Eastern have yet to appoint an M successor.
You may recall I spoke with you shortly before you left regarding ordering my next M3, but having to wait as late as possible due to my current lease running till Feb....you reckoned June/July order for delivery perhaps around Sep/Oct....well you were spot on ...looks like last orders June.
Chris quoted me today, and looks like I will be ordering in May to guarantee getting a build before they finish for good. Hopefully the delivery will be as late as possible to prevent any harsh penalties on the contract hire going back early, especially as it's only going back because i'm ordering another...maybe a bit of come n go with BMW.
Even if there is a penalty I reckon I'd still go for it....£8k discount and 4 yrs 0% doesn't come around very often....I'd kick myself if I missed out and otherwise I'd be looking at possibly a 2 year wait for the M4 to arrive.

Yeah i heard there was no one heading it up, but i'm sure they will get someone to look after it, after all it is a fantastic sub brand!

Chris is decent, very methodical and passionate about the brand so i'm sure he will look after you.

Just don't leave it too late to order i'm hearing they are selling fast, and once they're gone they're gone fella!!!

Hi Greg, couple of questions

Reading through the E92 thread, seems the 'old' deal that ran until end of March had a 9k dealer contribution but the new one has 7k - is this coming from BMW UK head office or at dealer discretion - in other words are the same kind of deals possible until end of June? If not is this due to the LCI facelift going into production meaning people waiting for Sept delivery will get the facelift hence the premium?

Is there a facelift on its way?

For the M5 there should be at some point in the near future, I meant I read about the M5 deal in the E92 thread as opposed to there being a facelift of the E92
