Picked up my M3LR today from Southampton docks.
Easy to find the turning in, but the actual reception area is tucked away at the back of the plot so had to hunt it down (if you’re looking for it, once you’ve turned in just keep going as straight as you’re able and you’ll eventually come across it - signage is poor!)
There were hundreds of 3s and Ys there in the compound, and some heading out on transporters as we got there.
Quick and easy reception and handover process. We were taken out to our car and shown around. Already know the controls etc but the guy was on hand if needed and as I checked around the vehicle. Very helpful.
Came with 3pin plug, type 2 cable, emergency kit, and 2xsplash guards (although since getting home these seem to be same as already fitted on the front?). Had rear mudguards on last car, do I still need these?
Car was in excellent condition, all very clean inside and out (under the frost!)
Build quality is MUCH BETTER than previous 2020 M3SR. All panels are perfect, doors close with a reassuring thud, not the metallic tinny noise of previous models made in the USA. Paint is excellent.
Took 10 mins on drive home for cameras to calibrate. Big software update when linked to home WiFi.
No USS so no beeps on parking, but cameras are clear and distance very much the same on camera as when you go and look after. I‘d like my beeps back front and rear but no way would I refuse this car because of that.
Steering, handling, performance all excellent as you’d expect and this newer version is definitely quieter from air and road noise.
Fingers crossed all remains good, hope this helps and those still waiting are just as happy, obligatory pic below
