Haha miss system says the same!

Funny when I queried about the HK supply issues that Lynn got David to reply

Yes, I just checked mine too and it shows the new registration number assigned to the car and estimated delivery date: 7 June.

[duckson]

Yes mine has a 21 plate listed against it even though I thought they were registering my private plate to it from 1st reg.

Maybe the dealer has allocated a plate to it (they have a range of regs to use) but it’s not actually registered with the DVLA (delivery could be in 3 months time for all they know), so in reality my private plate will be the 1st reg once the DVLA pull their paperwork finger out.

I've just checked the tracker and mines has a reg but end of August delivery. wtf!

Car looks great. Is the media screen the bigger one or smaller 8"?

It’s the bigger one! I don’t know if anybody here uses Apple CarPlay but it works brilliantly with the big screen. It doesn’t crop the screen down at all. It also connects wirelessly.

Having came from a VW Golf GTI, I can truly say that this is a different level of car.

How are you finding the feel of chunky steering wheel . I've got used to mine now , the car looks great in black .

It takes some getting used to haha. But I do like it. It makes the car feel very premium.

What colour did you go for? The black does look great!

I had to do a drive from Bishops Stortford to Telford and back yesterday. Fuel consumption is reasonable, but not as good as my GTI was! How are you finding consumption?

Same here, I have a reg and can see it says Aug on the ACVM, but they just haven’t updated this as they contacted to arrange delivery as the car is at the dealership, for me I am leaving it until July/Aug time

Much as I'd like to access the tracker to see where the car is, the people at Arnold Clark told me not to bother as it's rarely accurate, nor up-to-date

Mines a M135 in Stormbay .

I commute from south bucks to east london and average 45mpg .

In my experience BMW's get better when the engine is run in .

[Steve vRS]

I’ve got my registration as well and delivery due on the 17th June.

I can get low 40 mpg on a long motorway run in my Octavia vRS so would hope for something similar with the ti.

Beautiful. Any pictures?

Incredible MPG for the 135. Also great news about consumption improving.

Strange how you have managed to config the comfort pack but yet bmw are pulling it due to the chip shortages and the 128ti is one of the affected cars

Where did you order from?

He will likely get a phone call or email in the next few days advising him if this.

From just about every YouTube video I've seen I don't think there is.
