I got my Text last Friday 6th 12:30, appointment Monday 16th Heathrow.
Appointment and VIN number appeared in my Manage page as soon as appointment confirmed.
Final Invoice appeared today, Wed 11th 15:30, and contains the Registration Number. No Reg Number on Manage page.
Will pay for it tomorrow, and accept quote for Insurance to start Monday.
I used LV as the price was good for 2 cars, including M3LR, and includes up to 180 days in Europe. I have a second home in the Alps and spend half my time there, so that was important. DL needed me to apply for a green card each trip - boring. Saga, my previous insurer (with 180 days in Europe), wouldn't insure it
My home-to-home commuting experiences will be for another day ...
Wintertime in the Alps (skiing) will be interesting, but expect summer there to be amazing in the M3
