Yep. Another for me!

[Pondrew]

It looks like this one, but with DS brown interior, not 'Pulp Fiction' red.

Mine is much higher spec, though, with digital dash. It has every option except Icon LED adaptive headlights and 360 camera. It's got a lot more spec than the dealer knows, as I put it through a VIN decoder and did lots of research; adaptive dampers and adaptive steering which are really rare for a 440. Only 11k miles with 2 BMW services.
I wanted an LCI but pre GPF as I am going to put an MPPSK on it. This made the choice rather limited.

When you collecting the new flavour of the month

It's in Devon. Too far for me; got to book a transporter.
Because I'm so tight, I don't want it before 21st April. That was the date it was registered in 2018, so means I only have to pay one year of the extortionate £40k plus new value VED rate.

Tight arse - just go get it

Looks very good indeed, may be going this way next year with the grandkids getting older

I have budgeted for a few 'mods' as don't like the 704M wheels, MPPSK to be fitted and a few choice 'cosmetic' upgrades. The wife doesn't know about these but I just told her it cost £3.5k more!

 

[Scubaregs]

Let's not run before we can walk eh, Pondrew, hasn't even been classed as human yet.

Good job I don't get offended otherwise I would be. But I don't so I'm not.

I knew that.

 

[sars]

That 440 then I assume as you are too tight for an M

You know me well young man :lol: :lol:

Oh congratulations, can’t wait to see it

 

[Pondrew]

With my track record, you could maybe buy it off me for £17.50 next year (or sooner)

 

[Mr Tidy]

That looks great.

Shame things didn't work out after you sold your Alpina though.

 

[pvr]

Nah, much nicer than that Alpina with a forest in it with slush box.

Although I guess this will be another old man’s gearbox as well 8)

I will make an offer of £14.95 - need to feel I have had a bargain :rofl:

I like you Paul. I shouldn't but I do!

Thanks Iain. It's life mate. There will be a next time. I need to bide my time more. Impatience is not a good trait but I am learning (slowly).

Funny I had the same conversation with the dealer today. The answer was the same.................

 

[Ole gits rule]

well when can I pick it up then :rofl:

 

[Pondrew]

well when can I pick it up then

September 15th.

 

[Pondrew]

Oh congratulations, can’t wait to see it

Me too!

I better start saving then couple quid each month should et me there

 

[BeeEmm]

I see that you are a 'Lifer' now Andy with 5 stars. I didn't realise it was based on how many cars you bought in a year. This particular car looks very nice. You will come to love Cognac leather. I will await the inevitable comment on the previous line.

 

[Pondrew]

I saved a couple of pics of the new 'pimp-mobile' before the ad was pulled. So here it is:
I spent some time putting the VIN through to see what it has. I added it up to £9,870.00 of options, many the stealers didn't know about.
Adaptive dampers and adaptive steering too, although after reading the problems with dampers on here I'm not too overjoyed.
It's got a DVB TV tuner! I thought they went out of fashion in 1997!

 

[Scubaregs]

Nice that, you just need a Huggy bear coat and shades and you can drive it in style.
