Milk Float Ordered
« on: Yesterday at 11:42:33 »
Nearly went Tesla Model Y, but MrsT really did not like everything via the screen, including the gear shifting. While on LEX, I think I spotted a good deal, as prices go up and down considerably, even day by day. Silently paranoid they will cancel it, as the deal feels to good to be true. Basically just getting an upgrade....

BMW i4 M60 in Fire Red.

Comes with loads of kit as standard being M60, such as the adaptive suspension and other bits. I ticked an electric tow bar and upgraded sound system as optional on top of the standard M Performance stuff.

Lord Opti should approve, as it has a rather practical 601bhp, perfect for that daily commute   :D

Was the same price as a Tesla Model Y, which has a list price of £25k less than the M60  ???

As Carroll Shelby was fond of saying when it comes to horses.....Too much is just right. >:D

Sounds like a good choice. Mrs Opti's milk float has to make do with a paltry 400BHP and doesn't feel excessively slow.

Is this the same car Jimmy has?

I have an electrician who is local, we had a 30 min chat a few months ago about all the regulations, whats changing, requirements, types of charger. So yeah will be getting him to install one.

97% of my journeys I can charge from home, we go a few times a year to Wales but once there we stay there for a week or so. So I can granny charge it there, no concern on time limits.

What does Jimmy have? M50 has been out for some time, M60 is new this year.

As with the wonders of LEX the M50 was considerably more than M60 and M60 was only a fraction more than eDrive 35 base model  ;D

As it's "Salary Sacrifice" - It's all based on an individuals tax status, but for me, if I said to the government I'd like my money or I'd like the car instead please, based on that it's £430/m to me.

That's all inclusive, the car, insurance, maintenance, tyres, road tax and 10,000 a year miles allowance.

All I need to do is put some electrons in it.

Oh no, yours will be a rocket ship compared to mine. Mine is the iX40, so the big SUV with a mere 325bhp. That's instant enough for quick overtakes so I can only imagine what nearly twice that will feel like. Enjoy it!  :y

Yours also has a bigger battery than mine, plus its less of a lard ar$e so I would imagine 280 miles in normal driving should be achievable. How long have you got to wait? Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Will post some pictures when it arrives  :y

LEX says December. But shall see, been chatting to a few folks here who ordered cars. It gets passed out to the dealers and sometimes they offer you different ones from cancelled orders or stock they have.

No long then  :y

Our delivery date got moved around a fair bit but was on a much longer timeline than yours to begin with (c9months iirc). I'm also intrigued what you're planning to tow. 0-60 tests with the caravan attached?  ;D

Check carefully as most sparks cannot install chargers (requires C&G 2921 or equivalent, and some specialist test kit) and many of the charger suppliers require a certificate to enable the smart capabilities and warranty on them
