NOOOOOOO! Say it isn't true.

It wouldn't be the first time, I'm sure. I guess that's how new cars turn up with 50kms on them.

After all this anguish, I have a phone call from the lovely dealer lady today that the car finally arrived at the dealership.

It is in the capable hand now and I am sure I can see it very soon. Tuesday I hope - coz there are a few thing they need to do on it.

Very exciting, just saw my car at the dealership, covered inside with plastic and chocks still in. Awesome. Delivery this Thursday.

Got my friend to test drive the 135, looks like we might have another 1addict joining the ranks soon.

Enjoy your weekend Taka.. As all have said, the wait will be worth it once you get behind that ///M sport steering wheel.

12 months and 10K km's on and I still get a thrill every time I press the start button..

I went to the dealership too.

Love at first sight


Perheps the only time I will see it silver.


Red leather stands out heaps. The P on the left side means priority . I am pushing them for Tuesday delivery. Let's hope. The top left corner label has my surname on it. So it is my car .

I wonder if those red blades will still be there at delivery, or if they are a temporary 'transport' blade.
and which dealership is that, southbank?

Good point but they do look functional.

If they are merely for transport, I wonder they have to make all this trouble. I will tell you later in the week.

If they are not red then I will change them myself some stage.

Taka I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but my AW coral red 135 had red wiper blades when the car arrived at the dealer but were black when it was delivered. I didn't ask about them so I don't know what they were.

they look the same as the Bosch Aerotwin's, though the test will be what the clips are like.

I think if memory serves me correctly that would be correct Taka. A lot of BMW staff are in Queensland for the Aussie launch of the new Z4 this week.
