Hi

Thought I'd say "Hello" - I've got V90 R Design D4 on order and it's due in December.

Replacing a BMW 5 Series SE which is 4 years old now.

Welcome, I’m sure you will love it! When you get it I’d be interested to know if everything is still turned off by default!

Happy motoring!

Turned off by default - I’m not sure what you mean?
My (MY19) arrived all ready to go, it did have 300 miles on it cause’ the suppling dealer was at the other end of the country though :-(

It’s a great car and I haven’t (yet) experienced some of the issues that others speak of - voice control is perfect and I have no complaints about the ride and gearbox like many have reported.

The satnav though cannot be trusted! It’s stitched me up once too often, I’ll stick with Waze.

Thanks. Fancied something different for a change. The BIK has gone up across the board for all new cars so even going like for like and having another 5 Series would have been more. The uplift to the Volvo is negligible in the scheme of things.

Only added tinted windows and rear camera to the spec.

My dealer is in the Midlands and it will be delivered on transporter. Or I may collect from them.

No sat nav is perfect is it, let's be honest. The BMW one is OK but sometimes it isn't logical and at times I've known better routes. The RTTI is also a bit slow to update.

Update from the lease company this morning - car is now in transit to the dealer (presumably from the factory).

Not sure how long it takes from factory to UK - couple of weeks?

Don't know about everything but on my new V90 quite a lot was initially turned off - I can't remember everything but certainly auto-on of heated stuff (winter pack), rain sensor memory, RTTI, DAB info, out of lane warning, driver alertness and a few others. - worth going through all the settings!

Arrrggghhhhh

This wait is killing me!!

Half emptied the Beemer now, I've lost interest in it, need to get it cleaned Tuesday or Wednesday otherwise Lease Company will bill me silly money to do it.
