Nice. I’d keep the red detailing especially on the black. Great choice mate.

I was torn between misano blue and storm bay grey. Ended up with the grey as current Cupra is blue.

Been surfing the lease thread daily for 6 months. Lucky this deal popped up. I almost gave up and was already looking at used 330d’s.

Funnily enough this is replacing a blue Cupra so Misano was discounted right away, didnt want black, Mrs doesnt like Storm Bay or red so that was white or mineral grey. As metallic is bascially the same price and my own last 3 cars were white (last 2 were BMW's, M135i and M2, we are now down to one car) i went for the mineral. Think it looks really good and wanted the M2 in that colour really.

I'm 6 weeks and 1500 miles in on my 135.

How are you finding the ride quality and what brand of tyres did it come with? Thanks!

Wow Mineral Grey polished looks amazing! Can’t go wrong with any colour really. Except red maybe....

Some help would be appreciated.

Currently set on pro and tech pack but was trying to see what I could do without because I also want comfort access and heated steering wheel.

If I individually spec with
Sun glass protection
Parking assistant
Adaptive headlights
Comfort access
Heated steering wheel
Heads up Display

It turns out cheaper than the 2 packs but I’d be missing out on
Harmon speakers
19” Wheels
Wireless Charging

So my question is are the speakers worth it and can I love without the 19 wheels which I think look really good.

Going to have the car for 3 years so don’t want rubbish speakers but some people have said the H+K aren’t that great anyway.

What would people choose out of the 2 specs?

[duckson]

Personally I wanted the 19’s and HK so it was a no brainer, wasn’t bothered about anything else and as it is a lease I wanted to keep the cost under control.

Have a look at this thread for standard vs HK opinions.

I tried David but haven't heard back. Interested in the 128ti or m135i depending on offer. Anyone else worth contacting?

Are the bi colour wheels available in both 18 and 19?

I have completed the 'pre-contract' and returned it. The car is now showing 'on order' on the My Car platform so hopefully this is all secured now. This is how it went for me:

Quote accepted - Wednesday
Applied for finance - Thursday
Finance accepted - Friday
Registered for My Car - Friday
Pre contract signed - Monday
Showing as 'on order' - Tuesday

Anybody else got a contact been trying since Friday to get this sorted?

Is it David Harrison that you've been talking with? If not, his e-mail is - david.harrison@ arnoldclark.com If you check the general leasing thread someone posted details of someone else at AC (a few pages back from where the thread is currently but afraid I can't find it right now).

David did all my quotes and initial paperwork but Leanne was also involved

Could try her - [e-mail]

Looks like I am all sorted.

Question about gap insurance - not sure I really understand but would others (on a 3+35 deal) be considering it please?

I think you would be risking it not to have it I got mine from a sponsor of babybmw,net very helpful in explaining things and far cheaper than a dealer https://gapinsurance.co.uk/

[duckson]

I’ll probably take GAP just for piece of mind.

Prices with MSE discount seem decent although one code expires end of March, might be renewed?

Was anyone’s quote higher because they choose the 552 over the 557 wheels?

Yes, mine was and somebody elses on here was too. Something to do with the VED and Co2.

Am I being too frivolous in wanting a sunroof at about £22 a month?
