What colour have you gone for? That's a quick turn around considering I ordered my 20i a week ago and I can't get it until June... Did they have one already on order that you managed to change the spec on?

Thanks everyone.
The dealership was lucky enough to have a sparkling storm X1 in stock for me to look at but not with the spec I wanted. Looks great in person. The photos certainly don't do it justice. Beast - I have to also wait to June julyish as well. Car only starting production March. Will be painful haha |

Congratulations!!
Pretty similar spec to mine, bar colour (mine is AW) and I've downsized to 18" wheels. On the high seas now, due to debark on 11 March, maybe end March delivery

You are right that pictures do not do the color justice. BMW website configurator has a very bad representation of Sparkling Storm color. In real life most of the time the color appears dark brown, but the color comes alive when light shines on the car. Depending on the light source and amount of light, the color can quickly change anywhere to light brown or dark olive green color. Here are couple pictures of my car that I took while I was in Germany and in Pennsylvania after I took re-delivery of the car. When I took the picture of the car after car wash at the gas station in Munich, an Italian guy stepped out of his Porsche, ran over and walked around my car for about 5 times. He was so excited and complimented on the design of the car and the color.

Congrats on your order - that sounds like a nice car! I really like the Sparkling Storm colour myself, but my wife wanted white.
That's interesting about the M Sport steering wheel on an Aust spec X-Line. What's the price of that option? It's not in the options guide. |

Yes, I'd be interested to know, too...although perhaps I was better off in my ignorance, as I was told only on M Sport package and accepted that...

To tell you the truth, I don't know how much the m sport steering wheel costs. On the contract it is listed as "included" rather than an actual price.

No, as we aren't really into music, and the standard system sounded sufficient during the test drive.
My car is on the ship too, ETA into Melb 15/3 so not too far away now. Might be able to pick it up before April if all going well. Your spec is exactly what I would have chosen if I had my way and could get the M Sport steering wheel on an X-Line. Wonder what else the dealer can order that isn't officially listed. Would have liked to order without run-flats if I had that choice. |
