You on track to get yours tomorrow?

Yes, all on track for tomorrow (Friday) at 10 am. Just done my Insurance and loaded up my debit card ready

Good man!

A few pointers just in case you haven't looked at this yet;

I decided against BMW GAP insurance and went with GAPinsurance.co.uk, a better policy for £270 v £400 for a four year policy. BMW finally price matched but I stuck with the other supplier

I got them to discount wheel and tyre insurance down to £380, which is good as I couldn't find an independent willing to insure diamond cut wheels

Good luck and post up some pictures

Picked up Car this morning - applied some protection this afternoon in between showers. Only a few miles done but very impressed so far. Good luck for tomorrow - hope the sun shines on you

Is that Mocha and Saddle Brown? Are they the only two colours for F48? I was intending to do the same as we need to be able to tell the two keys apart

Yep sure is and got them for the same reason

I think you can get black as well, but we have mocha interior and these match nicely...

There is a severe shortage of these and no date as to when they will be available again. My dealer kindly located two in Chesterfield and I mail ordered the the other day

I just received my second key case - Mocha - been waiting over two weeks for it to come in. Disappointed to find that it was different to the black one I got ten days ago. The black one had an allen key for the securing bolt - was fine. The Mocha one has a Torx bolt and the key is rubbish - I can see the Torx key on your saddle brown photo now that I know.

I have managed to get it done up without too many slips but I think I was lucky and not sure how tight it is. The leather quality is also nowhere near as nice as the Black one.

Little bit of feedback to BMW on this one I think

My torx keys were fine, I quite like the leather as it's the same as the seats i.e. Dakota with a hard backer behind it to keep it rigid
