First UK thread :)

Bagsy first

Started getting invites for the launch this weekend, it must be a sign, who else is looking to move over from F30 land?

Being a company car driver, my F30's lease expired some months ago, so a G20 Sport is on order.

I should be attending a launch event tomorrow evening, so it will be good to see what my next company car will look like in the flesh!

Hopefully I like it, too bad if I don't!

Brave man ordering blind, what spec did you go with?
I am pretty sure you can’t go too far wrong with a G20, will be interesting to hear your thoughts once you get it, especially on UK roads
I got a test drive around the end of the month

I know, I went for a G20 320d Sport, Sunset Orange with Oyster interior - alas company car scheme does not allow for any options to be fitted.

I was well please with the 13 plate F30 320dED I had, I had a later ED plus for a month or two and that was still OK - so fingers crossed all is OK with the G20.

Ordered Christmas eve, still not got the official BMW order number so cannot check its progress through the system....

Is it this weekend they are arriving in dealers or is it just an unveiling event you are going to? I'd like to see it in person but haven't heard anything about them arriving over here yet.

I believe they should have their showroom model out, I think some dealers have their showroom models under covers on the floor already, I have a test drive booked for the 25th-ish, but they are available earlier (booked mines with my MOT)

I believe general most dealerships had/have a 'private' launch evening, the dealer I went to only had a few people in which was embarrassing for all ! general release is next week I believe.

In the dealer I went to, they had 2 models on show, 330i M-Sport and 320 M-Sport with M Performance kit added.

both looked nice, I did not find anything that I didn't like, though I probably could have checked more if the salesperson was not right behind me trying to gauge my interest.

I'll upload a couple of images shortly....

Ok thanks, I might venture over next week then to see if the local garage has one! Keen to see what this looks like in person and what the interior is like.

I’ve ordered a 330i MSport
Alpine White
Oyster Interior
Technology Pack
Premium Pack
Visibility Pack
MSport plus Pack
Park Assist plus
Extended Storage.

I originally ordered a Sport but when I read that the Technology Pack
was free, I switched my order to the MSport.
I hope the adaptive suspension in comfort will do what it says.

I’ll know in the next few days.
It could be next week.
It seems to take a long time from departing the plant to
arriving in the UK.
I’m not certain how often the ships sail.

I’ve just contacted a Genius and he said the code for the Status
of my new car is 9620.....at Sea.
How long do you think it will take before it reaches the dealer ?
Has anyone got any experience with this ?
Thank you.

Finally seen one in the flesh, it looks very nice, the interior is a major step up, front is a little fussy but overall it’s a good looking car, looking forward to a test drive
