New M140i ordered

[Anthony Micallef]

On Sunday I ordered my new M140, cant wait as ive never bought a brand new car before!

The spec is as follows:

5 door
Auto
Valencia Orange
Folding Mirrors
HK Surround sound
MPE

Delivery expected end of May.

No haven't tried both. To be honest will I really notice the difference in day to day driving? I'm coming from a 1.7 diesel Mokka so anythings an improvement.

Poor bloke. Pleased as punch to have ordered his (first) new car and everyone says he's bought the wrong one.

Best of luck OP - hope you enjoy it.

Haha I did chuckle at all the comments.

From what I've read opinion on the adaptive suspension is split 50/50.

I may ask my dealer to see how much it would cost me.

Congrats OP. Mine was also the first new car I'd bought. I took delivery last March although it's the .05 poorer version. I seriously regret not getting the HK. Folding mirrors is useful and I also got the heated seats. People recommend the Pro Nav but mine is a commuter car and if I do any journeys, I use the family bus so it's wasted on me. Think I've used nav twice in a year on it and the standard was perfectly fine. I'd be interested in what the MPE gives you over the standard setup to see if it's value for money or not.

A couple of snaps of the unveiling to make your wait seem even longer!

Thank you very much for the post. I've got another month to wait but the last two weeks I'll be in Florida so will have something nice to come back to.

I wish now I'd gone for heated seats and parking sensors. I'm sure I'll still enjoy the car though. The MPE looks better especially with the carbon tips amid of course it'll sound better than the standard item.

I'll post some pics when I get it.

Have you got a month to wait because you're on holiday for two weeks (so the car will be sitting at the dealer for two weeks awaiting collection) or will the car not get to the dealer for another month? If the latter I wouldn't have thought it would have gone into build yet and therefore it may still be spec changeable if you want to add the heated seats and parking sensors. If it's too late I'm sure you could get the parking sensors done by the dealer but the heated seats might be more of a problem as a retro-fit!

I was told a couple of weeks ago that I couldn't make anymore changes. I was originally told that the car would be ready on the 18th when I fly two days before. When I told the dealer this he said he'd see what he could so I'm not sure what that means. I'll double check to see if it's gone in to build yet.
