I’d say the opposite (though it’s fluctuates by model), but the HK systems in BMW have gotten worse over the last 15 years I’ve been buying them (8/9 in total) and the handful of cars from the Porsche stable with Bose seem to be better.

fortunate or otherwise that doesn’t explain why a manufacturer takes an opposing position to others. Tesla obviously feels that the sacrifice in battery is out stripped by the performance increase in charging speed and time. They realistically have more data than any other manufacturer but...

Indeed… was poorly worded on my part

My experience: Chester - Service - Very helpful and pleasant Sheffield - Purchase - Very helpful, though lack of allocations pushed lead times. Colchester - Speculative - Great and would purchase East London - Service - Hit & miss, sometimes really accommodating and other times poor comms. South...

I’ve got as Model Y at the moment and it generally caps speed at c70kwh if the battery isn’t preheated. Not sure why Porsche & others have a different perspective to Tesla…

I think the shape and design was mislabelled as size (even though that’s also factually correct). ‘Spyders’ are less aero dynamic than the ‘S’ wheels because of the way the air travels over the wheels creating less turbulence as airflow cannot enter the wheel and arch etc.

Did your BMW actively cancel any driving assistance if you weren’t paying attention? I had an M4 that I recently sold had assistance and some sort of IR device on the dash but I never experienced it cancel an assistance. By contrast the Model Y I’m in for the moment, will cancel if you spend 10...

Just spend the cash! Share your configuration code.

Interesting. No doubt order books opened again for MY26 (I’ve since received an allocation) and it’s not shifted.

I went for Spyder’s though I did consider the Sport wheels, also for ease of cleaning.

Off topic but how comfortable do you find the Axel Arigato’s?

Reframe it - only 2% of the cars value to get the 22’s and have the wheels you want! I do get it, deal specifics aside, they do not depreciate well and they are about £45pcm to upgrade on the GTS and about £65 on the 4S.

I had an ICE Macan and Cayman both in GTS trim. Admittedly no kids at the time but the interiors are hard wearing and held up well. Steering wheels take some looking after but a retrain can be had for £200.

Always nice problems to have! Congrats on the Turbo

I’d go GTS predominantly for the racetex interior and sport design pack. The bundles options are useful, though I’d spec them (and did) anyway. The additional power is only useful for bragging rights down the pub. Sub 4 seconds to 60 in the 4S is enough. That was super car territory not so long...

I did try East London, was expecting a call back. Never bought from them but always felt the service was lacking when a friend was considering it. Will see what happens over the next few days. I’m more than happy with the 4S. Just always had GTS trim levels.

Just to follow this up, two dealers (and 3rd party broker) are saying they can’t quote on a GTS yet. Not sure if anyone in the UK has finance offers, particularly BCH? Confirmed by the existing dealer that there’s eight with deposits for GTS’ and at best it would be May build slot for June/July...

I've called them as they are local. Been advised by existing dealer that there's 8 in the que, so allocation wouldnt be until Mar for Jun delivery, complicated by getting an allocation on the 4S this week. They are going call back to see if their's any scope to get an earlier build.

No, MY25 4S vs MY26 GTS so may bridge evn further, though I might drop some options (electric charge flaps and roof rails)

I'm about £4.5k difference with £24k of options vs £17k on the GTS. Given a large amount of depreciation of the options over term on the 4S I'd imagine its going to be fairly similarly priced.
