As this will be my first BMW, should I look out for anything? I've heard something about a comm pack, but being a but thick I'm not quite sure what that is?!?
You could be referring to the Combox? I think this is standard fit for all F10/11s built from September 2010 onwards. There are some good posts about it on this forum. Not sure what to look out for to check if you have this though.

My bother in law works for Rolls Royce, he said I should wait it Jan '11 for a updated media pack that allows you to bluetooth stream music to the car, use microsoft office apps from a phone on the car screen, view contact pictures etc. This is all in addition to the standard 80Gb hard drive in the car that you can burn CDs directly onto like in I-tunes and upload/play music from USB sticks. You can even plug your iPhone in and play music from it whilst also using it to make calls... That's all the info I have, I'm seeing him over the weekend so I will get more info...

In my experience with lease companies sometimes they hang on to the car until they choose to deliver (driver in the area etc.). You can speed things up if you collect yourself? I have done this in the past and gained 2 weeks!

I feel your pain!

No I can only collect from one location, Chicester! Which is about a million miles away ( or at least it'll feel like it once the car arrives) nothing can be done, escalated my complaint, but the answer is tough and get over it!!!! But on the sunny side the longer I wait the closer I get to replacing it on to a 61 plate in september!
