Thank you all for your comments, in particular to Southerner for your kind words.
Comfort seats in the UK is a c£800 option, I preferred the look of the std sport seats when I placed my order but now wondering if i made the right choice. LED lights are also an option c£1,700 but I have only seen them on demo cars. They look amazing but expensive, and they do not come as part of a package in the UK.
I agree BMW do some weird stuff! Not only between the different markets but also between the models. My 2010 M3 did not have the LED angel eyes yet they were fitted to ever other 3 series coupe...
why does my 2011 X5 not have the all function for the heater controls
in fact why have BMW removed the all function from the new 3 series F30 when they had it on the E90
and the list continues.....
RPB, the waiting will soon be over and it will be worth it when you finally get your car
I'm assuming your car should be going into production anytime soon? Once built it should take upto three weeks to get to the dealer. Mine was sat at the port for over a week. The good news is the cars no longer go to Thorne if youre dealer is located in the southern half of the UK. It should get delivered to the dealer directly from BMW's DC in Southampton saving a few days travel time.
