Don't think it's possible I asked and was told it will be delivered.
That seems really strange. I'd like to go collect mine. I'll ask AC and then HF if it is possible. It seems daft to load it onto a trailer to deliver when I live 10 minutes away.
Mine was driven from the local AC dealer so had 30 miles on when it arrived. They’d washed it that day but as I said previously it was surprisingly dusty inside - plus a bitten off bit of finger nail on top of the dashboard!
On the other hand they did stick a bit of fuel in it and gave me the lurid AC sticker rather than fitting it.

Any word from AC on this? Interested to know as like you I placed my order late March and have been told late June for del at dealer.
Yes, got an email from Lynn this afternoon to say that the car is now at BMW UK and is due to arrive at the dealer at the end of the month. Placed my order on the 26th March I thinkJohnnyDrama said:

Wow that was quick! I ordered mine during the first week of April and I'm told it is delayed until October at the earliest. Four month gap on a car ordered a week apart.
How are the owners of 128ti finding it? My current car is an Aygo so I'm sure even a firm ride would be miles better than what I experience now.

Thanks for the update.. ordered mine on the 23rd so hopefully in the UK as well...Edit: just logged into my AC order tracker and it now shows a registration number

I’m assuming the ones ordered at end of March and Lynn has said have arrived in the U.K. as the standard colour with no options?
Just trying to think why some have arrived quicker than others that had been processed earlier! Don’t get me wrong a couple of weeks difference would be ok but 8 plus weeks difference just doesn’t add up to me…

FFS, only 597 miles and this happens….ironically was only going to check tyre pressures and got puncture on way in to garage. Tyre compressor thing didn’t work cos 12v socket blown a fuse due to dashcam plug falling apart in the socket, BMW Assist was a 4 hour wait…..proper pissed off at the prospect of spending Friday evening in a Shell garage looking at the A45, then I saw an AA van come in to garage, slipped him £20 and he fixed the puncture for me. Thank god for that

Whats the concensus for breaking in the engines in - balls to the wall or driving Mrs Daisy for 1.2k miles?
I had a little stamp today with 500 on the clock decent punch on 128ti.
I'm old school. I had a little stamp today with 500 on the clock decent punch on 128ti.
Ran the M135 in for 1.5k in Eco and kept the revs down .
You probably don't have to do that anymore , but I'm always sympathetic to bedding parts into an Engine.
