Hello everyone

Used to be a regular on E90 post but have just ordered a new company car.

Hello to you all.

520d M Sport in Sophisto Grey
Auto with paddles
Black leather with exclusive stitching
Brushed aluminium trim
M Sport plus pack
Professional media
Adaptive headlights
Active cruise with stop & go
Folding wing mirrors
Multi function display
Reversing camera
Ambient lighting

It's a four year lease 60k miles for £607 month inc vat.

Fleet company say delivery will be around the end of May and the wait is killing me! Ordered yesterday.

What's the normal wait time for a 5 series?

I placed an order yesterday for a 535d, they told me it would be here by the 30th April (unless they are telling porkies)
I was told one option could knock your build back by wweeks if not available. For example a mate wanted black instead of blue trim on his 3 series and had to wait an extra six weeks.

There is no deposit it's a lease so 48 payments and then it goes back.

Maybe they gave you a pre booked build slot?

I will have a definite delivery date in April when the dealer has confirmation from the factory, that's assuming all the bits are in

Yes I was really pleased, managed to get to 72p a month under my allowance. Mind you the BIK tax will be £300 a month if I use it for private use!

It was a dealer demonstrator slot for 6 cylinder diesel. If you read my other thread about falling out with dealer there's more info...

Yes looks good deal, costing 29k over the term. About the same as buying without the outlay...

Well I have a delivery date of the 26th May so about 8 weeks from date of order. Will have to try and not count down the days.
