I think we ought to persuade him

Washy · Jun 17th, 2003, 09:16 PM

Well my afternoon cocoa has just arrived

and have quickly specced up and if I include the sunroof it is £17,715

plus the JCW....I think the sunroof is out of there...

AidenL · Jun 17th, 2003, 09:22 PM

Less weight, less squeaks, less light, less airy

....I actually love the sunroof I must admit.....

Soggy, want me to add your name to the thread title !?

I have to first wait and see what Milcars come up with a better trade in but I doubt they'll come up trumps

I have two options:
1. Take delivery in mid-august - I know that's really fast
2. Wait and get get a September build car which will have the '04 updates if any????

I'd prefer to take the September build car and new plate but I have to wait to see how much extra it may cost if I wait. Hopefully they can still guarantee my £16k trade in

BMW Heathrow will ask the factory to see if I can get white x-lites installed there otherwise they'll do it for me

Just have to decide now whether to get the sunroof or a roof decal

IB/W is one certainty.... maybe

With regards to the JCW I think I'll postpone installing that and enjoy my x-lited MCS first. Hopefully the wheels will make a big difference

BMW Heathrow will however match the price that JCW do the instalation for e.g £3575 so get down there straight away washy

Washy · Jun 17th, 2003, 09:31 PM

Don't worry I will be persuing a similar line myself when I go in to finalise my spec.....

I'm glad you decided to go for a new S anyway. Like you say you can add the works later if you want it.

Martin L · Jun 17th, 2003, 09:35 PM

This Saturday should be a good opportunity for me to look at various cars and make a final decision about colour, roof decal or sunroof and interior colour

Do you think the lapis blue interior will go with IB

that should be interesting - you with your one passenger equivalent and lighter car vs me with my two passenger equivalent car + heavier car + advanced driver training (when I eventually do it).

What do you reckon the outcome would be?

Not sure about the lapis blue with IB....might be tempted by all black with that combo...

I love these dilemas

Martin L · Jun 17th, 2003, 09:42 PM

Yuk - sorry but sunroof on white roof just doesn't do it for me

Aiden - I'm getting tempted so far £17215 + JCW, and that's jsut scratching the surface. Nope that's it, not even looking any more ......

Yes Washy - unfortunately those two words always seem to go hand in hand!

Black car with the red JCW's would look great!

sunroof with white roof is fine Soggy. You only notice the contrast if you are as tall as Bad Manners or on a ladder! And as Aiden said - its so light and airy!

Chilli - blagging white x-lites
Sunroof
Heated jets/mirrors
Climate Control
MFSW
DSC
CD/Boost
FAK/WT
Visibility pack

Pretty high spec again

I've only dropped full leather and heated seats, but gained the visibilty pack

Cost to change £2015
