    Mineral grey & fluid black

    Not sure which to go for, especially as not sure how Mineral grey compares to the older metallic grey colour (which I liked). Not practical to see options at dealer and photos on BMW website aren't a great help. Anyone got photos of these two colours in daylight? Thanks in advance!

    Drive Assist Plus in UK

    Seen the U.S. videos where the car will brake to avoid rear-ending the vehicle in front. Dealer says that feature is disabled on UK models. Anybody know for sure?

    Will the type 2 Mennekes plug pass though a UK letter box?

    Thanks, Bill. Untethered charger was my intention. Would you be able to measure the widest part if the smallest end of your cable?

    Will the type 2 Mennekes plug pass though a UK letter box?

    Thanks to all. It seems that 7 cm is the widest part of the plug / handle assembly. The issue is less one of getting a line to the exterior rather than achieving an acceptable aesthetic result. The charging unit can be hidden on the wall behind a large bamboo in a planter but getting the line...

    Will the type 2 Mennekes plug pass though a UK letter box?

    Thanks very much for the speedy reply. Take your point about no standard size for letterbox but I haven't been able to find the dimensions of the mennekes plug. Could I trouble you for these? Daniel

    Will the type 2 Mennekes plug pass though a UK letter box?

    If so, this may be a way for me to avoid a difficult exterior installation of the charging unit.

    Leasing in the UK

    Looking for advice - not leased before. Contemplating Rex with high end spec. In London but not averse to buying from dealer elsewhere. What kind of haggling should I expect to do? What kind of deals have others achieved? Any other tips? Thanks!

    Charging at home: terraced street in London, UK?

    Thanks. This might be a silly question but can I run a 16 amp charger (referred to in your reply) off a regular mains socket or would it require wiring back to the main consumer unit?
