Dealers are dealers so will usually attempt to not offer discount. It’s possible to get 10% off a factory order G45 in the UK, and possibly more. I got almost 14% off my current G01 LCI.

My experience of UK BMW dealers is very poor. That said I was looking a new M340i Touring factory order with 17.5% discount, so times must be hard.

I would hope IF I went the M440i Gran coup I would get that 17.5% that would be good.

I'm wondering if the seats have changed at all in shape, specifically the headrest. The previous generation headrest are too far forward for me (even adjusted all the way back) and after driving one for 3 years, it's a deal breaker for me.
Also wondering if the 3rd party specific model fit mats (a la Weathertech) would still fit.

I talked about that in the video that goes live in about 2 weeks. Keep in mind that seating and comfort, can be subjective.

In the rear of a vehicle with a staggered M40i setup, she is most directly over wide diameter wheels and lower aspect ratio tires. Before you order, take her for a ride in a G45 with 19" for a comparison and then choose your priorities (carefully! )

Got it! Great suggestion. Thank you very much!

HB - Two weeks until your review comes out :-(. I have been checking BMWBLOG every day assuming your review was coming out soon since you had asked for comments by this past Monday. Any idea what day it will be coming out? Thanks for the excellent website.

Around Sept 22-23. Everyone has an embargo on it, 3 weeks of testing from media and influencers. So you will see A LOT of reviews

This. I put my order in on Monday, and got roughly 12% off an x3 M50. Deals are there to be done.
