Just had a call from my dealer to say my Metropolitan, ordered mid-March '22, has a build date of 2 June, Original price won't be honoured (they aren't honouring any prices, as people ordered MY22, and it's now MY23.5), but the % discount (I think it was 1.5%) from a special sales weekend I ordered it on will be...
They couldn't confirm the price, but suggested I could use the website to get the latest price, and then minus the discount from that...
Couldn't confirm whether it would have a digi dash or not at this stage. But they know I'd reject if it didn't come with it... And I can adjust the spec until 19 April, then it's locked in.
Really tough one. I'm torn between whether to keep it or order the new X5 hybrid which I'm due to be borrowing for 24 hrs as soon as my dealer get their new demo in a few weeks. Until 10 years ago, I always had Beemers. The X5 looks really nice, but a smaller boot I'd have to get used to. The dash looks phenomenal (and guaranteed digital!)... Hmmm, tough choice ahead! Diesel only for another 4.5 years, or hybrid with a 70mile elec range, but pay about another £8k on top for it. Lead time about 4-5months max for an X5.
What do I do?!

Picked it up at last. Just got to get to grips with the new features. Very pleased with it. But obviously the handover didn't go well. We arrived a little early and there was a car ready for the great unveiling except no cover on it. No one in reception so basically wandering around. A salesman approaches, I explain I've come to pick up a new car . He says is that it pointing to the car. I hope not is my reply because that's a different car reg than I was given. Anyhow after much apologising I was able to alter my insurance details. They put me £50 of diesel in. They then put the cover on
then pulled it off

Good you are happy with it - despite Registration Number!
I picked mine up this morning - its a great improvement on the 2018 one I had (which I had always liked). Came with everything I wanted. Audio is excellent - Salesman says it was upgraded. Also has Wireless Charging - which is another 2023 upgrade (didn't order it as phone doesn't charge wirelessly). 3litre diesel compared to 2L is excellent.
At the moment I don't seem to be getting 4G so need to sort with dealer next week. They have been great - free Brolly, Landrover mug plus full tank of Diesel. -

Cracking looking motor Craig. Love the gloss black and white contrast of the exterior. Looks very classy. Like the 2 tone seats as well. Enjoy mate.

Thanks for that Road Runner. Pretty pleased with it myself. Wife's going to have to step up a bit more to keep it clean -

Mrs is thinking of white next, as well, as blacks a nightmare to keep clean. She saw one in showroom last week when in for it's service.
Ha ha a pair of marigolds for Xmas then
