The rear, to me, makes it look very tall. It has a feel of the D5 (without the number plate affectation) and that is not a welcome feel. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

I noticed on the configurator that when I clicked on a couple of things it flashed up with the message that the price could not be updated (assume its chip problems) but when I removed that item, the price ticked up as usual. My "spend" was £106k less the items I wanted but could not get. I noticed that I had previously configured a full size one which came in around £12k more. Guess its full size, but not a chance ordering until the chip problems are sorted. I would not be accepting a car with items that I specified, missing

The cynic in me thinks it will never truly go back to normal purely because the manufacturers have got used to not having to discount new cars and they’ll just artificially limit supply to keep values up. I hope am wrong though. |

The only and rather large problem with limiting supply is that production volumes will decrease as a result. Manufacturers have factories, distribution networks and dealer networks which are predicated on selling a certain number of cars and limiting supply will probably mean not producing that number of cars which will mean factories and dealers closing and associated job losses.

No way!? That’s crazy. Out of interest what engine did you go for? When I enquired the salesman told me they are having trouble sourcing the Bmw v8 and that cars ordered with that engine wouldn’t be delivered until back end of 2023. He said the other engines don’t have the same delay but maybe that’s changed now |

I sent the salesman 2 configurations, both for the SE models, one with the D300 engine and the other with the P440e engine and asked him to confirm which vehicle could be delivered the quickest. I had heard that the diesel engined cars could be available in a shorter time. I currently run a FFRR P400e and I'm not a great fan of the that powertrain so I could be persuaded either way depending on delivery but he has said either configuration would be up to 18 months away |

Btw can anyone confirm what the difference is between the standard SE spec and the Dynamic SE spec? So far as I can work out it's cosmetic stuff only. Is that correct? |

Yeah looks like just cosmetic things to me. |

Congratulations! Can I be nosey and ask when you put your deposit down because that will give me some idea of when my car could be delivered given that I put my deposit down in January |

I too was at the reveal event in April and I had my deposit paid and receipted in January so it is interesting what you say about dealers not being allowed to take deposits until this morning. I hope they are allocating cars on the basis of when I put down my deposit not just on the basis of a free for all starting today
