If so, does it bother you?

Have you asked your dealer to rectify and what was their response?

Cheers

I do have wrinkles but it doesn't bother me. It is not bad as some pictures on this forum.

Question: is there a lane change assist function for the UK ? Has anyone got this working with the Driving Assistant professional package?

Love love love the black grill - really finishes off the look. You said the dealer installed it for you?

Yes, it was photographed straight after picking up from the dealer after the mods had been fitted -so v. clean and shiny!

maybe give it a good shampoo and rinse on a bright day and see how you feel about the colour then - there is defo a tinge of navy blue in there but its quite subtle for me. obv its all a personal preference of course, but no regrets from me!

the IND parts look great in both photos and flesh ... for me, the car (front and back) now looks like it should have all along. even the dealer chaps agreed it looks much better - they fitted grill, exhaust tips & roundels in a day for about £250 (though they moaned that the bumper had to be removed to fit the exhaust tips, hinting that perhaps their quote was too low - tough!)

[NoCompromise]

Understood, I will email the dealer and see if they will fit the grill then. If the exhaust tips are that difficult to fit I may wait a little longer.

Having ceramic coating done on Monday so will see then.

Question: is it possible to track build progress like our friends on the other side of the pond?

[NoCompromise]

Only by chatting to the BMW genius online (pops up when you go to configure a vehicle).

I have not tried the lane change - it seems to simple disengage the lane hold when tapping the indicator but I should experiment more. Adding 300 miles this weekend so will play around.

155, I guarantee that Sytner will charge more than that but will reach out to them - the grill and exhaust really bug me.

I actually placed the order 2 weeks ago and the dealer had a car already with a production slot to amend to my spec.

I am hoping for start of April but we will see

Dealership expecting delivery May/June

[NoCompromise]

Car is booked in for Saturday to have the grill painted. £180 well spent I hope. Having had the ceramic, when the car is clean I like the colour, especially on the side profile. I think the chrome exhaust and chrome grill clash with the grey so hopefully at least painting the grill will make me go from like to love. Will post pics when done of course.

[NoCompromise]

I know it does.

Now to find someone to do the exhausts on the cheap...
