Oh no what have I done, back in the fold
I’m going to blame Nick, yep it’s all his fault as he was wanting my thoughts on a 67 plate SL400 which was for sale at higher price than when I purchased mine two years ago. A couple of clicks and a few weeks later the value of mine has has shot up. I have two offers one from WBAC and another from Mercedes-Benz at £3,000 less than my purchase price, so farewell to my beloved SL400 and hello to…..
Thanks to BMW Boston and Carwow I’ve just placed a deposit on a San Francisco Red Z4 M40i with the cognac interior with Tech + Comfort + Driving Assistance at a 12% discount and a delivery in third week of September 2021.
Hello boys, I’m back

Thanks, it’s been a blur difficult choice on colour but happy with the RedOle gits rule wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 7:55 pm Hi Sars, sounds like you have made the right choice, great colour and welcome back.
The soft top will need some adjustment on my behalf and I shall miss the glass roof on the SL as it makes for an airy cabin
Thanks, coming from you that’s praise indeed
Wondering if the silver fleck roof is better Red?

I think there are two other peeps with great taste too with SF Reds on here, has anyone done a poll yet on forum G29 colours
Thanks, a long time to wait and wait and wait and no convertible for the summer a first time in many years

Congratulations, the first thing I checked was the colour of the interior
I liked the red and would have happily gone for one but my OH doesn’t like red cars
You did well both price wise and delivery date after the conversation I had with the dealer this afternoon
Was there any conditions put on the car? Ori has one at the same delivery time and has had some options deleted like wireless charging because the chips aren’t available for builds at that time.

I was told that there were only a few build slots left for September delivery and that I’d have to place an order quickly. The option for the digital key and wireless charging have been excluded, not fussed over the digital key but would have liked wireless charging.Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 9:02 pm Congratulations, the first thing I checked was the colour of the interior

I’m going to post in the G29 thread and not clog yours but I was told today 10 M40i available slots for the rest of the year and must be within the dealers allocation, unless they could swap with another dealer. System only updates overnight so yours will come off of that 10.sars wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 9:12 pmI was told that there were only a few build slots left for September delivery and that I’d have to place an order quickly.

Same options Ori had deleted I think, tbh I don’t think either would’ve bothered me either and there seems to be an issue with the wireless charger over heating.
