With me the same thing happened. Next they halted production and started building the MY2020..
So you're just sqeezed in before a production stop or change.

I am retired & have mine just as a toy, so economy does not matter. I can see the viability of buying the 2 litre if it's a daily driver. The V8 would be a bit crippling. Still got the stunning looks.

I don't know if anybody watched any of my roadmovies in the 'alpine tour' thread. We did 7500km in 20 days with the 2-liter,
not trying to save at all, sports mode dynamic about 40% of the time, almost all passes..

We averaged 9,0 L/100km ! On the highway at 140km/h it still returns 6.5 L/100km... but at 160kmh this is 10 L/100km and at 200kmh ...
27L / 100km... At 235km/h [ Autobahn was too bizzy to try topspeed ] : 44 L /100km... :shock:

I would absolutely love the V8 but that would cost me about £90k. The P300 is costing about £45k including options. I will be envious of the V8 sound though!

So an average of 31 mpg overall. Not bad, My v8 sometimes reaches 25 mpg, 11.3 L/100km on a run but not often. Usually low 20's. 13.5L/km.

I -hope- you mean "13.5L / 100km..." :shock:

This was a reason not to buy the V6 [ V8 is disustingly heavily taxed here..] , just think at a petrol price of € 1,66 per liter..

Very smart! Congratulations!

I had a white leather in a previous BMW, i used Gtechniq L1 leather guard. Really good stuff - Adds an invisible layer on top of the leather so stains / marks either don’t happen, or wipe off

Enjoy the car!
