pre-June builds were 2017, after that were 2018. Apparently!

Okay, that explains it.

aj,
What is "gloss front"?

My car is now in brussel so normally next friday we got him finally

The SportDesign package comes in regular or "(high gloss)". This was not on the cards and neither was the sports exhaust system. I am assured that both can be retrofitted in time if desired.

Picking up mine on Thursday!

Looking great! We have same wheels.

I hope I am collecting mine Thursday, dealer is away until then and he has not finally confirmed. So pleased you did not get the rear wiper - ugly as!

I chickened-out and went for black calipers. Yours look cool actually...

PS. Cannot see mind in the background! I assume these are pics in Reading so hopefully mine just out of shot!

i really like the contrast of the black and acid green. when i was playing with colours on the configurator and i had a lighter colour i went for black calipers. but the black and green contrast nicely.

and, i agree about the back wiper! ugly and a waste of money. had a 4 series gran-coupe for 2 years and didn't miss the rear wiper once. so knew i didn't need it on this one.

this is at the dealer in Mid Sussex. maybe the transporter dropped these off on the way to Reading?

ajriches01

Ah I thought every car in the UK started life in Reading to be "woken-up" then made its way out.

Agree re colours - the Volcano plus green would probably not look so good. I am still annoyed that they would not let me order without the Matrix lights - think they look cooler. Just hope it's worth all this time and ££££££££££££££

thorfun

i've no doubt it will be!

Congratulations Thorfun and AJ!! Looks like that dealership received quite a few vehicles. Are they all e-Hybrids? I also went with the black calipers with my Chalk paint (I believe in Europe it is called Crayon). I went back and forth but finally went with black. I'm getting the black 21" wheels so that seemed like a good idea to have the calipers in black also. No rear wiper on mine either. Looking forward to hearing all your comments on how it drives and if the brake issue is resolved.

Good call - I think Crayon + Acid Green would clash badly (unless someone else has chosen that then I am sure it looks great).

Just signing the finance docs - big commitment to something which is untested...Buyer's remorse!

Okay. Standing by anxiously awaiting your comments!! Be sure to check out the launch control!!
