Just an update on my request to change from Sport to M-Sport. It has been an eventful week. After requesting the change on 8th January my order status change from 111 to 105. It was scheduled to be built week commencing 12th February. After numerous phone calls to my dealer who couldn’t confirm whether the change was accepted by BMW on the same build slot.
It appears they may have lost my build slot, and they couldn’t give me an estimated delivery date. They turned around and said what would you like to do. Almost prompting me to cancel my order and take my business elsewhere. I was annoyed with this and stated am I being treated this way because I am a Motability customer. Luckily my original paperwork had a different order number to which I was given on the telephone. I asked BMW genius about this, and it appears this order is for a Sport, and it is scheduled to be built week commencing 05/02/2024. That order was also under my name. I then contacted the manager who confirmed that is my order number and it won’t be taken away from me. So, I am back on track with a Sport model. As I don’t have a car now, I shall remove M-Sport from my head and be happy that I am going to receive a brilliant car. My Motability order wasn’t amended so my AP is still £4999, and it was ordered in August 2023.
