Only 45 M40i coming to the UK
Only 45 cars are going to be available apparently after reading the e mail sent from BMW. that would mean second hand values are going to be ballistic! Surely this can’t be correct.

I hope that is a typo, if not there won't be enough to fill the demand

Hmm they really aren’t making it very clear are they! Do they mean only 45 cars until the next facelift ?

It's definitely an equation that looks at how many they can sell on the first day so they can release a statement saying it has sold out....so 45 was all they were prepared to commit to.

As pointed out already the 45 will be a special 'launch' edition, they will all be pretty well specced and available in a limited pallet, potentially only available on said launch edition!
There will be many regular Z4 M40i available for paying customers... launch editions are common place and often priced at a premium but represent as close to the concept as the production car can be.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record being "as close to the concept as the production car can be" is still light years away. I think that I read somewhere that the limited palette is orange.Chris1981 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 12:33 pm As pointed out already the 45 will be a special 'launch' edition, they will all be pretty well specced and available in a limited pallet, potentially only available on said launch edition!

Indeed, the only colour available on the First Edition is “BMW Individual Special Paint Frozen Orange metallic”.Chris1981 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 24, 2018 12:33 pm As pointed out already the 45 will be a special 'launch' edition, they will all be pretty well specced and available in a limited pallet, potentially only available on said launch edition!
