Have to look the date of production of the car , as i did not already .
Was looking at the BMW UK configurator and discovered it´s pretty different from the german one , lot of options are not available in uk ; plus got the impression all it´s a bit cheap , ( was able to spend and pay 15000 GBP more !!!)
Really strange

(Stolen a picture from the german configurator of the car)

I don’t think the UK configurator is working properly. There are some paint colours and upholstery options missing. From your photo it looks like you have chosen Frozen Grey paint and that is an £1,800 option in the UK. The UK models all have a very high level of standard equipment included, particularly the M40i. If you add some of the optional packs that BMW offer, the price goes up quite a lot.

That´s could be the reason why on uk configurator is just 53000 and mine was 69500 , correct the frozen grey is 1800gbp /3300 euro :thumbsup:

Schönen nachmittag, wie geht es dir heute.

My German is not very good either.

I understand that the G29 is being built in the Magna Steyr plant in Austria. Production commenced in November but I am not sure where the early cars are being sent. I understand that this is a private specialised company not owned by BMW and they currently manufacture some 5 Series BMW's as well as the new Jaguar iPace.

I am keen to know the production date of your car.

Happy motoring.
