Did BMW allow you to convert it to a deposit for an M2 CSL?
I haven't done it yet, but I have no doubt they'll let me convert it into a "prospective deposit" if I wanted...

Still can't really decide. It's all on the cusp for me, not quite interesting enough to make me really want it, but interesting enough to make me not want to entirely lose the option of having one.

I tried to put a "prospective deposit" but they wouldn't do it for me. Please can you pm me if you manage to do that and where. Thanks

JM, I'm really struggling to see how you have fallen for the M3.

The traction in the M4 I had for a day was terrible....and it was all over the place on anything remotely uneven.

A massive disappointment.....and sounded so wrong on start up.

I might get an M3 for a change until the next M5 arrives, by which time I will no doubt be a convert like yourself!!!
The LCI M3 I got is very good all round, no traction issues at all , goes like stink too 100 MPH, just as quick to that speed as the M5 or M6.
I must have got a good one.

Put down a deposit today. No build dates or anything, just spec'd a car and paid to get my name on the list. Apparently I'm number two on the list and they are expecting someone in tomorrow to make it three pre-orders so far for that particular dealership.

I think you will need to wait 6-9 months after launch for any meaningful discount.

Number 9 on the dealership list, or the whole UK? I put my deposit down last Thursday and was the second in canary wharf.. There must be more deposits down than that surely! I ordered a black manual BTW.

Im No.3 at my dealer. (Ive also heard they are only getting 3 per dealer initially, not sure if there's any truth in that)

Havent locked spec. Cant decide between Blue or White.

Has anyone managed to get info if the M drivers pack (Speed limit increase) is available in UK. Its on the config in Switzerland but my dealer in UK didnt know anything of it.

If your dealer is small or doesn't sell many M cars you may want to change dealer unless you mind waiting a while.

I've heard dealers will get around three allocations each with a couple of bigger dealers getting a few more.

This is similar to sales of 1M I believe. At least for the first round of allocations.

Ive gone for

DCT, sun protection glass, visibility pack, Heated seats, through loading, comfort access, folding mirrors, H/K, online entertainment, reversing camera. Also want to add the M drivers pack.

Ill probably add black grills, carbon boot lip and carbon mirrors. Think they will look great on white.

Found it. Thanks.

Why such a limited range of colours, and no interior colour or trim choice at all?

I've ordered one.

Wanted a drivers car so limited options for me. Memory heated seats, sun protection glass and that's it. It's pretty good spec to begin with compared with the options I was going to pay for on an m235i. Oh and have gone for long beach blue. Looks amazing.

A friend of mine who moved to France earlier this year has ordered one from Germany on his last Nurburgring trip and was given a 10% discount in writing straight off.The dealer's words were i bet you will be getting a good discount if you order from the UK !!
