have i missed the boat?

been waiting on a cash settlement from a solicitor for a while now,
wanted to use £5k for a deposit on a new 330d

been looking on coast2coast and its looks like the discounts have been cut.

The pre-lci i specced a couple of months back £31k is now coming is at a tad under £37k

is that right?

Discounts are always going up and down, although maybe Riaz can still give good discount. If not you'll just have to wait for the LCI rush to die down.

That big a difference doesn't sound right.

If you are ordering now it should be LCI, pre LCI in stock will have discounts, but to order...they will dry up as it will damage sales of LCI models

I tried to order pre lci Sat and my manager said he can't get any more produced. Makes sense as lci production starts week 27. I shouldnt be a 6k difference but that's on their site/will cost you couple of k more at least.

I just ordered a pre-lci today and had no issues, the dealer told me it should be ready the first week of July but they are expecting it at the end of June. I hope my dealer hasn't made a mistake :-/

Discounts haven't carried over then? Lol!

I want to look at an LCI, going to be moving into a company car September time so might be worth a look, not sure!

Plus pack has gone up £600 because it now includes LED headlights & 442M wheels.

Adding vis pack to plus pack now adds £900 because the adaptive LED headlights have an extra row of LED's in them on top of the adaptive/HBA bits, it used to be around £300 for old vis pack.

Lots of nearly new pre-lci they are trying to shift. Bristol BMW have car park full including a tasty looking metallic black 335d with at least m sport plus, pro nav and folding mirrors and heated seats.

Looks like it, and the wait is going to kill me as although it may be here by 2nd July I fly off to Australia for 4 weeks with my family so won't be picking it up until 2nd August

They may have had a spec changeable slot but I'd double check and ask for the dealer order number to show you know what your talking about and see what it is said.

Aren't the 442M's the same ££ as the 403M's? So is it £600 just for the LED's?

Dissapointed on that quote.
I was most likely ordering a 3 series pre-lci within the next couple of weeks.
Now what i assume it's only the new 3 series that can be ordered ?

Going into my local dealership at weekend, possibly to be informed of the above.
