Excellent news, glad you enjoyed it

Colour choice/combo is very much what I’m considering

How did you find it compared to the Cayman?

As I expected I found the power delivery of the M40i smooth and clinical. I had a M140i before my first Cayman and the M40i is very similar. My last Cayman was manual and being 4 litre naturally aspirated it was a real hoot and one heck of an engine noise. Handling wise I didn't really push the zed as it was raining so difficult to compare.

Just to wrap this up. Order placed for Thundernight with Ivory. Shadowline, Tech and Comfort packs. All being well it should be at the dealers early May.

Out of interest, I ordered mine at the beginning of October and took delivery on 22 March. The car, once built, took four weeks to be transported to the dealer. I was originally given a timescale similar to yours though!

As they say time will tell but I hope they aren't spinning me a yarn.

What an excellent write up by Andy earlier in the thread which is worthy of being a ‘sticky’ for potential new owners to reference.

Nice tip on the Conti 7s being a great bit of VFM, although with my ‘driving Miss Daisy’ style of motoring, the OEM Michelins will probably last me well. Not much wear at almost 5000 miles in 2.5 years.

Car has landed at the dealers and collection arranged for Thursday. I will get some pics up, however I have asked them not to clean it as it is going straight to my detailers
