My dealer informed me today that BMW GB have requested all dealers place orders on the system by the Friday this week so they can guage demand and therefore quota allocations will be made in next two weeks

Happy days

Park lane and Stephen James, getting m-dct so March 08 at earliest. Would be grateful to view the new M3 when you get it. What have you speced?

Greg P · 06-28-2007, 04:26 AM

Roll on September - ordered with Rydale Central, Birmingham in October 2005. Placed a order with same dealer to cross over into a convertible with M-DCT hopefully within a year.

Haha, your car will be virtually identical to mine... in fact, if you get yours before me, I might have to have serious words with my dealer

protection for the outside. Its a clear layer that they put on over the paint which is shinier and more durable.

Are you sure that's a good idea? Based on everything I've read, such dealer add-ons are merely scams, and do not actually enhance the durability of the paint job at all.

I bought a car with this before and was impressed with it. The sheen is better and stone chips def seem to be less. On a £55000 car an extra £300 is worth it dont you think?

Its not like a plastic film that is put on the car. It is either an additive added to the paint, or an individual one sprayed on following paint.

I have never heard of that option in the U.S.
