My Ride: 525d, Silver Grey, Beige Leather, PDC, Sun Blinds On Order LCI 523iA, Jet Black, Beige Leather, Heated Seats, Rear Sun Blinds, Bluetooth, M Steering Wheel

Just been onto BMW uk web site to see if the new LCI brochure is on there and found 3 different prices for the 523i SE that I have just ordered and a mix of old and new specs & pictures:

1) In the Model selector car listed as ?28,625 (the new RRP price) but old performance specification & photos listed
2) In the car configurator car listed as ?27,845 with all of the new LCI options listed (ie advanced Ac standard etc), new performance figures and new thumbnail photos of the exterior & interior
3) Download brochure listed as ?27,455 (old price & old pics & specifications!)

If they can't get their act together when the cars are a few weeks away from delivery then there is no surprise the dealers haven't a clue

The most misleading one I think is the configurator as you can choose an LCI model with the new standard specification for nearly ?800 below RRP , interesting print out to bring to the dealer to cut a deal!

Nice to see them getting round to updating options. I was look at a 535d m sport, first thing I noticed that it now gives you the option of Dynamic Drive, didn't used toon M Sport.

Also lists lots of new trims inside.

Anthracite Bamboo
Black Trim, High Gloss
Brushed Aluminium (replacement to alu cube?)
Dark Poplar
Grey Trim
Light Poplar.

the wood trims don't have pics yet but the High Gloss Black looks quite nice.

Also no mention of sport auto or paddles on the steering wheel yet.

I think they may still be updating the site. I checked yesterday and they only had the M sport versions loaded in. This morning, the normal cars were in, but many of the pics were not working.

At about 2pm, I priced up my 525d SE, with all the options I have selected and the price was exactly the same as my order form. Although Ive noticed not all the pictures are working yet.

Was in my dealers today, they still don't have any brochures either.
