10% including finance contribution is a good deal.

Excellent choice, you won't regret it... I took the plunge and am now on my 5th!

Choice of colour may depend on how picky you are and how often you clean the car. Black looks great when sparkling clean. But the next day?

My current is Carpathian my first was Santorini. Carpathian Grey is very dark and almost (if not equally) as high maintenance as Santorini Black if you want a really clean and shiny car all the time. I'm not too bothered so mine only gets washed once every 3-5 weeks. The main benefits of Carpathian to me are variance in colour depending on light and the contrast with black roof (more noticeable on a bright day). Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

I decided to wait for the MY18, though an impending house move means that I don't want to be in a new car until the autumn anyway. My dealer told me earlier this week that it looks almost certain that the rear and front will be revised, along with new lights and that the interior will get the Velar controls in terms of touch screen etc, possibly new alloys as well.

Another thing with Santorini or Carpathian - the L494 in my opinion doesn't look as imposing in very dark colours, at least it is not as noticeable in Black or very dark grey as the L320 RRS, L494 tends to blend in with all the lesser cars when it is black.

It's a 'good' deal, but I got my car on 1 March, and got 6% discount including options and £1,500 finance contribution (I cancelled the finance the next day but kept the £1500). My dealer claimed that 6% is far as they can ever go, but there are people on here who claim they've had "10% +". Carpathian is my favourite colour, and, with hindsight, I wish I'd had it. Having delivery so close to the MY18 I personally would wait, but it's a gamble on what the price will be, and it assumes you can put up with finger-marked touch screens (personally, I don't like the Velar interior at all, but having the 'latest model' would still influence me). |

Aleutian Silber, looks very similar to an older colour - Siberian Silver, looks very nice. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Shop around - on the MY17 you can get 10% off - use car wow as a starting point but there are many other online websites offering various discounts.

I do like to keep my car clean at least once per week a few hours spent on it, find it therapeutic after a long week at work.
