I'm waiting for some news about my order today instead but I got assured that no one will tamper with my specs or anything *touching wood* which was a relief. |

He can surely get the M4 brakes afterwards which is even better I suppose and to be fair in hindsight I could have done the same... I wonder if that was going to be even cheaper as well.

M2 already has M3 & M4 brakes as standard.
The optional big brakes are 20mm bigger (and a lot heavier) and currently unique to the M2C. I've already bought a set of Pagid RS29 pads for to fit the standard setup. The blue calipers might not look as good as the upgraded grey ones, but with these pads in they will work a whole lot better for sure |

My current car Focus RS, is obv a manual and I love it, however I work in a City centre and the daily commute is a bit tiresome on the old left peg. So DCT doesn’t really bother me. Believe it or not the Brakes are on the order It’s RyBrook BMW that is providing car, and they accepted the order from broker. No idea what’s going on honestly, I don’t get it at all. It would drive you insane if you try to work out what dealer says and does what. But I’m going to chill and let it play out, positive thoughts and all that |

A broker just sent me this if anyone is interested. A cancelled order that is basically a fully spec’d car. For a lease I think that’s not too bad considering what you are getting!

You can "order" it with the dealer i.e. sign up and pay deposit, but the dealer cannot put the order onto the manufacturing order system at present, no build slot will be allocated with 2NH option "until further notice".
So all you have is a "promise to order" from the dealer when BMW lift the order stop on 2NH brakes. Don't be confused between your order with the dealer and their order with BMW, they are two separate contracts. |

In my eyes a car isn't ordered until it's ordered from the factory proper.
A "promise to order sometime if we remember" from a car dealer wouldn't do for me. |

Completely agree! That was my argument with Peter Vardy, that the T&Cs were not applicable as the order wasn’t really “ordered”

By the way, while chatting with Tom Hinchliffe at Cooper BMW York as suggested by doughboy I realised I'm an idiot. I kept looking at my initial quote and no the final one, and I so discovered that my dealership actually gave a £4000 discount on my car. It still doesn't justify them for the lack on communications about the delays but now I kind of feel I owe them some.
In other news, kudos to doughboy for the recommendation and for Tom at Cooper BMW, their service and will to help were spot on and incredible. I can't fault them so far. |

New lease deals from freedom contracts today.
£353 Inc vat per month on 9+23 6kpa. Mega bargain... DCT only though. BMW must really be trying to shift DCT models... |

I think someone from BMW is telling porkies about a brake’s shortage, as this guy seems to be up to his nuts with Brembo parts!

About that guy, he is based in US so maybe he is sourcing them elsewhere, rather than Europe... |
