I’ve been thinking about adding some options. H&K sound, Split rear seats and perhaps Leather. Adaptive headlights is a possibility but everything keeps adding to the cost and I’d like to keep it as low as possible of course. What options have people taken?

If you haven't optioned the Pan roof go for the Magma red interior .

To say it's a bit dark inside would be an understatement. Having said that , I appreciate that most people like that type of affect .

Hello Charlie

I don't think you can mix and match the packs to make it individual.

Mine was a dealer stock car with all the packs and a Pan roof.

If I had to choose , I would discount the Pro pack for the pan roof. The HK sound in my old 340 was pretty good but it's just a badge in the 1 series.IMO

Much of what is in the packs can be added individually. I got a quote with the adaptive LED lights as a separate item along with the H&K Sound system. Both are part of different packs. have a look through the configurator on the BMW website.

I'm now in two minds about the Leather. I've seen a couple of videos online and the standard seats look OK.

I was tempted by the red leather but went for both pro and tech packs instead.

M135i, Storm Bay metallic, Pro Pack with 557's, Black Dakota leather for me. Personally don't think the standard seats look great so £800 (first 3 year lease deal as well so more justification to go for it) for leather i thought was pretty decent considering it can be double that in some other models. Couldn't quite bring myself to go for the red leather but certainly is a bit different and will have an appeal to many. Was also going to add heated steering wheel (love it on my Giulia Veloce) however this pushed it over the 40k mark so a £3.38pm option was essentially working out around £28pm. Too much for a heated steering wheel so can live without. Just checked my quote there and leather is costing me £18 pm so actually only paying a tad under £650 for the 3 years so not quite the full £800, even better. First time I've really had any options on a lease car other than non standard paint.

Apologies your right.

If I had to choose individual options. I would go with the HUD , adaptive LED and Lumber support .

Probably on here but was an earlier one (Feb or March).

I ordered early Feb and it was £342 on M135i, pro pack, metallic, 8k pa, 3+35.
Metallic was being discounted to practically free, I see the quote from a few posts back doesn’t have it discounted now.

Have had the same update with the car having left the factory and awaiting transportation. But my ETA is still mid June? Im sure it doesn’t take 6 weeks to transport a car lol

Exactly the same here. My current Cupra ST goes back in mid June, hopefully it works out.

[PeterBen96]

I’ve also had an emailing saying my car (M135i) is in transit to the UK. Still end of May ETA which I have questioned as I can’t see it taking a month. Need to give my current car back.

[MissChief]

What colours have people chosen? I like the Misano blue but would prefer it a bit darker. Mineral Grey is growing in me, some on babybmw look great. Storm Bay I think isn’t great, not sure I want a red car and White just seems so ‘kitchen appliance’ but does look good with the red flashes.

Oh and has anyone stuck with the standard seats? I’m considering dropping leather and putting back in the adaptive headlights.

Same email as others today, I have checked with BMW and the car is in the UK at the port but not cleared customs yet. They expect it to get the BMW Glasgow W/c 13tg May, which would fit with everyone’s end of May target delivery. Although I have asked to delay my delivery until July or Aug, which they have been fine with...tempted to push it to Sept to get a new reg but not desperate for this.

Those who are getting the updates, when did you order please? My update is still late June but have to give my company car back ASAP. I ordered mine on 14th Feb, M1345i.

Thanks

Thanks, just checked and all my paperwork was completed on the 16th Feb so perhaps I won't be too much further behind.

AC quotes usually include BMW service pack, does carleasingmadesimple? Also any fee with the broker? £0 with AC.
