I'm just glad my BIK is locked for the remainder of my lease, as I have a feeling the new WLTP figures are not going to be so beneficial to company car drivers...
Interesting - can't order a Mere c350e at the moment on our scheme, nor a e-class, wonder if it's the same reason?I'm just glad my BIK is locked for the remainder of my lease, as I have a feeling the new WLTP figures are not going to be so beneficial to company car drivers...
My car is up in September but I'll get in to order probably at the end of March. Really not sure what to do at the moment as I'd keep my car for another year in a heartbeat if I could - great spec, been mainly trouble free (bar the coolant top up and one slow puncture) and while it's been out a while now it doesn't really feel it. One thing I can't seem to get a definite answer on - shadow edition - is it mainly big wheels, black trim and HK over an m-sport? I have HK and pro nav on my car and wouldn't want to be without either now.
Thought the 330e had disappeared from the UK BMW website, but they've just not put them under the iPerformance stuff at the bottom.
Mine's 15 months old, 28k miles, averaging 58mpg now. Been for a service and a pair of rear tires, fronts will need replacing soon due to shoulder wear. It's been a good car, but quite frankly I'd have liked a 230e in the coupe shape, it's just too big a car for my needs 99% of the time.
Got a 24 hour test drive of an i3 lined up for later this month.

Strange goings on with this car. Mine arrives on Friday. Touching wood obviously

I enquired yesterday about ordering another 330e and have been told I can have one for June but I need to confirm the spec ASAP as there are only a few amendable build slots left. I was told production is stopping due to a change in batteries which has already halted Mercedes and VW PHEV orders combined with the new 3 Series in October.
Now thinking I should wait and see if the new 3 Series has better range.

Mines been cancelled 
Fleet operator said it was an error and I shouldn't have been able to order in the first place (why it took them 4 months to work this out is anyones guess)
Speaking to other people here, all hybrids have been pulled from the portal, assume its WLTP related, going to stay in my pool car now until thats up in December and see if the situation is resolved as really dont want to commit to another 4 years in Diesel unless I have to

That’s a nightmare, I’m already looking at changing to a 320d shadow edition, going to cost more but don’t want to wait a few months for it then get cancelled
To be fair our fleet team are woefully inept at the best of times. If you've got an order in you should be okI haven't been back here for a while, it took a long time to catch up!
Well I'm one year in, 18K Miles and averaging 57MPG for all journeys. I am still on the original set of tyres (touches wood).
My only issue has been the bundled charger stopped working, that resulted in several trips to the dealer, a software update and some sort of work being done to it. Never did find out exactly what! It's a company car! My first service is still 2000 miles away.
I love the car, it's fast when you need it, economical when you are in the mood, fits a family of four plus luggage when you need it and low BIK. I'm gonna miss it when it's gone (2 years).
