F30 (LCI) 340i M-Sport - ordered!
Discussion
After 20 years away from BMW, flirting with Lotus and Porsche, I've now returned to the fold having ordered a brand new F30 (LCI) 340i M-Sport.
I had to take advantage of the great deal I was offered, so the car is pretty much loaded with all the options, apart from the safety pack stuff of automatic breaking and motorway lane drift warnings (if you need those, you shouldn't be driving).
Looking forward to getting it now and reading good reviews is going to make it a long wait until delivery in mid-June!

Man maths is the only maths! Just put down however much is the minimum deposit you need to, to make sure your monthly rental for the car is sustainable.
As for dealing on the car - I went to a BMW dealer, sat in there, had a chat, got given keys to go and have a drive around on my own, came back and agreed to place an order on a new car from the factory on the same day.
Getting the deal secured there and then, to assure it went through the books by the end of March meant I negotiated over £9,500 off of the list price... but because of that, I ticked pretty much every option on the car spec sheet!!

Mine is produced and off to the carrier... Come on lovely beemer, come to daddy!
I have a new baby girl (12 days old) so this will be her first sporty car to go out in (I'm too tight to pay for a child seat for the 911 Turbo and the 9e exhaust might deafen her!); so looking forward to a 'getting to know you' family trip out in the 340i.

Well, that's it. The wait is pretty much over. I get to choose my number plate Monday night, ready for collecting the car on Friday / Saturday next week.
Feeling a tad excited now - nothing beats that new car feeling. First 'sensible' car I've bought new, having gone for Esprits, Elises and Exiges previously.
