That’s because our glorious leader has had the mad idea of giving tax cuts while the BoE are trying to stop spiralling inflation and therefore it is predicted that interest rates will have to rise three fold to 6%

Utter madness
I think you will find our interest rates are on par with most countries around the world and had nothing to do with the recent proposed tax cuts the majority of which don't actually kick in till April next year. Current inflation is due to supply chain issues and the price of oil and gas rather than spending or taxation.
 
Er the £2.0bn was the low estimate for the cost of just the 5% drop for the high earners, with the high estimate being nearer £6.0bn. No the real cost was the 1% drop for basic rate, NI reduction and the stamp duty reduction, though the latter’s not going to be significant as no one’s offering mortgages! Total tax cuts was around £45.0bn, the biggest tax giveaway in 50 years and all with borrowed money.

Anyway have now completed spot the difference, not sure about the new front side vents, but the new grill looks okay :thumbsup:

[/quote]Re the drop from 45p. If you listen to the BBC the cost is anything up to 5 billion. If you listen to one of the top economic experts Professor Patrick Minford, he actually says the tax take will increase because of the reduction. Just like it did during the 13 years of the Blair Govt. when it was at 40p. As soon as he put it back up to 45p in the last few moths of his term tax take fell again. Evidence based not speculation.

Plus didn't notice the differences and don't think they are worth the additional cost. Hopefully more colours though

Looks similar to the attached link:-

Does look similar. I’m sure we can order the new grilles from BMW when they are available (just need the part numbers), but I wonder if they are a straight swap? They might be a lightly different size.
Maybe it’s one of those things that I say I will swap, but never actually do!

Resistance was useless...I have ordered a purple. I'm told the build date is November and delivery December - we'll see!

Are you in the uk? I’ve put down a holding deposit but waiting on confirmation of build dates, they were suggesting March.

Yup, UK. Well, the system had a build date for a Z4 in November and my spec was applied to that, so we'll see.

Has that slot been confirmed? my local dealer are trying the same on my behalf but fully expect it to be rejected.

I wonder if anybody actually went ahead with the 9.9?

Two week cool off period so should be able to back out in any case.
 
Back to the colour debate,,,

I was really unsure about the purple . I think its a love - hate colour,,,

BUT,,,

after seeing a M440i in the same colour last week, im sold, it looked stunning...

I even commented to the owner about how well it looked, he told me when he went to pick the car up from the dealership, the salesman asked him at least 5-6 times if he liked it, as many others had commented that they "disliked" it...
 
Has anyone taken delivery of a Thundernight car. If so what are the thoughts/reactions to the colour and any outdoor pics would be really helpful thanks.
