I got 10% off my X6 40d from main dealer in Manchester. Broadspeed could not get close.
Have been in Blue Bell in the past and would not shop there owing to salesman's very odd attitude towards selling cars.

yeah i guessed i had just wasn't sure what the media package actually included. You'd think the online selection would advise you. You sure the USB interface included in the media pack? This the iphone option?

I assume the BMW individual audio system is the best option (being the most expensive)..?

You may want to check out the Comfort Seats, instead of the Sports Seats. I keep reading great things about them, and have specced them on mine !

MJim thanks i changed the seats to Comfort!
I had my first qoutation today - am i aloud to post it up here for comment? - not a bad first quote i think.

i recieved 6% discount on total price. Inc the £2500 contribution the total discount is 9.3% - am sure i can squeeze another 2%

Couple of things on the qoute:

Delivery = £725? How much!
Seal & Protect & Metalmate =398 - needed?
5 year service inclusive - £400 - seems like a good deal?
Fuel = £100 - minor i know but should we expect this free? (all counts)

Total
Standard = 51,300
Options = 14,305
Discount = (2623)
Service & Protect = 798
Tax/fuel/delivery/reg fee = 1305
PX discount = (1500)

Try emailing a few other dealers.

Thats a great build spec. Don't get the seal and protect package, you will be better off organising a professional detailer to protect the car for you. Regarding the delivery every dealer will include a breakdown of this.

I will PM you a contact, hopefully they help with a good price and they have dealer near you too, but may make it worthwhile travelling to another one of their branches instead :D

Individual Audio is a very good system or alternatively the lesser Professional system is good too. I would reconsider the 4 Zone climate control as I have this on my car and its seldom used except in very cold weather, even then the occupants always adjust it (I like it left in sync with front which you can select on the idrive).

The normal service only pack is very good value considering the retail on oil service and brake fluid alone is over £300. It covers 5 years or 60000 miles of servicing which should mean you will recover the money paid by 2 years after a brake fluid change, oil service, and a cabin micro filter. Also included are fuel filter, vehicle check, at least another oil, brake and micro filter change I believe. How much value you gain from this depends on how long you plan on keeping the car.

Thanks flyfs6 I will drop a line to the contact.

Can you Recommend any seal and protect companies?

Appears the first quote is very good! Two dealers couldn't get near the deal...

Mark, do you have the option code for black shadow line grill - I couldn't find this option on the car configurator and it shows my grill with chrome surrounding despite I have high-gloss shadow line with dynamic pack...
thanks
notices you've ordered 21inch alloys - combination with sport suspension could result in a harsh ride
