just got back from my dealer...
not good news.
confirmed that the reason our entry price is so 'reasonable' is due to the fact that as I suspected, no xenons, no auto air con. Apart from the M specific interior trim and wheels, everything else (and I mean everything else!) is optional extra. i am 3rd in queue and the allocations are still unknown... so still hopeful but anxious... to my spec i just added xenons, lumber support, heated seats (for the wife!) and anti-dazzle + folding mirrors. I don't need H&K sound or satnav, I know where Kromdraai is
