When I ordered mine way back, I got a price for my E89 3.0l and they let me use it until arrival - it included the annual Germany/ Netherlands trip.

I got a good price for my current G29, equating to a £12k depreciation over 4 years.
A slight niggle on that though, they say that they will lock the price when delivery is 4 weeks away but until then it is subject to variation due to market demand. I could let them have it now TBH and share my wife’s Audi A3 but the temptation of roof down driving in the good weather we are going to have is too much

That's interesting regarding the price. I used Cotswold in Hereford and they locked the price as soon as I placed my deposit.

Great to have something special to look forward to. There is nothing like the smel of a brand new car.
There is, the smell of leather polish on a demonstrator knowing that someone else has taken the 20% hit with VAT

The price reduction is a great incentive but knowing it hasn’t been bounced up a kerb every day nor booted from cold is also an attraction!

That is true, but if you can find one with only a couple of hundred miles on the clock, its a low risk for several thousands in saving.
There are some out there where they are just pre registered by the dealer so they can sell them as a demo but have never been actually used as such. My fist demo had 8 miles on the clock

So long as the demo hasn’t been used by a staff member as their daily. Saying that, it shouldn’t really matter.
My car will be 3 years old next year so maybe depending on changeover cost I may go for a new one. Or I may keep my one!

Dealer tells me that they expect delivery around 17 July, just 2 weeks away……

That was pretty quick- how exciting.
