Ordered G20 330i M Sport Pro LCI

Mike330i · 09-21-2022, 01:52 PM

Only started looking seriously at BMW at the start of September.

Made a few enquiries after using a 318i as a Hire Car.

For a well abused car it was still impressive - nothing lose, chassis felt rigid, steering was as good as I remembered from my 2001 525i (long gone), gearbox smooth, nice progressive brakes.

Time to visit some local dealers.

Had a good look round an LCI M340i (too much for me) - but I liked the new interior. Controversial - I know - sorry! The dual screen system in the 318i was okay - but the curved wide-screen moved the whole cabin forward for me.

Spent ages on the BMW Configurator - trying various combinations of engines, options, colours, trims - you know, you've all been there before.

The real surprise was when I asked about production / delivery times - expecting something next year, maybe February or March. My final configuration was entered - and out came a build date of week commencing 17th October - handover end of November

I made a stipulation that the order would only proceed if a test drive of a very similar car with M Adaptive Suspension was favourable. That test drive occurred last Friday - and it was great

Today I completed the order process for: -

G20 330i M Sport Saloon LCI B48
Tanzanite Blue II with Oyster Vernasca Leather
19" 791 M Double-spoke Bicolour Jet Black Alloys
M Sport Pro Pack

M Sport Brakes (Blue Calipers)
M Adaptive Suspension

Visibility Pack

Adaptive LED Headlights
High-Beam Assistant

Technology Pack

Harman Kardon Surround
Wireless Charging
Live Cockpit Pro (HUD)

Comfort Plus Pack

Electric Memory Seats
Comfort Access

Electric Glass Sunroof

Now the waiting begins

Regards, Mike.

Update:
My Car is currently "At Sea"

I think it is on the Drive Green Highway, due in Southampton 12-13th December

Delivery to Dealer is estimated for 19th December

Will I get it before Xmas

Got a couple of longish drives planned over the Xmas / New Year holidays - to be honest, I'd rather get some short & varied run-in drives completed before being stuck on Motorways

Regards, Mike.
