They are saying late november at the moment but we'll see. It seems generally a well speced car but is there any must have extras?
You're right - I was taking the date of order but BW42 should (if it matches my schedule) get to you early November. Ah, as to any must have extras - there are many threads on this and an infinite amount of posts as we all are looking for different things from our cars. Mine is a retirement car so will keep it a long time, hence the high spec. But "relatively" inexpensive items I would personally recommend:
*Hold Assist (especially if you have S-Tronic)
*Adaptive Cruise Control
*LED Interior Lighting Package
And then second tier extras would be:
*Parking System Plus
*Folding & Heated Mirrors
And if you feel like making the car feel really special inside:
*Extended Mono-pur Interior Finish
I'm not sure whether you are going for a Sport or S-Line model but do think about the suspension. Again lots of different opinions but many magazine reviews and my test drive experience would recommend the free of charge option of
*De-select Sports Suspension (Sports suspension is lowered by 15mm and has stiffer suspension and damping, and is standard on Sport and S-Line models). There is a further S-Line Sports suspension which lowers it by a further 10mm and is generally not recommended for UK roads).
I've gone S-Line (with 18" wheels) but have de-selected the Sports Suspension (so it is back to SE suspension and is not lowered).
Anyway whatever spec you decide I'm sure you'll love it - I get my SB tomorrow.
