Hi, Thanks the reply, most apprecited. One of the first questions I asked was availability. They have build slots available for March delivery which I was quite surprised by. Neither of my local dealers are willing to do anything off extras hence my search for a dealer that will.
Blimey, that’s unbelievably quick for BMW. Almost all BMWs are factory orders as almost everyone adds optional extras, and a car being delivered in March would be being built in February, which is only weeks away. It sounds to me as though they might have a cancelled order and no private buyers in the queue, so you might be in luck. Spec can be changed up to a few weeks before build, so if you believe that what they are saying is true and you have thoroughly tested the new car (which is very different from the previous X1) then I’d bite their hand off.
