Thanks guys, status now updated to Loaded on Vessel. Looks like the vessel is carrying 9 more 1Ms for Oz.

Nice, more 1Ms indeed!
I got mine from Doncaster (someone backed out of the order), and every dealer in Sydney had a long wait list - which I'm sure you guys are well aware of.

The GM at Trivetts kindly offered to deliver my car, to save the trip down to Melbourne...just trying to work it out with Doncaster.

Pete101 - do u have delivery date scheduled as yet?

Hi Sverma - not yet they said early July - that was 2 weeks ago before it was built. I will call them in the morning and see what they say. What colour ?

Not many sleeps to go !! It will be over 12 mths for me as my first allocation didn't come thru...

VO Owners in Perth

Hi Guys,

Great to see a strong 1M community in Australia.

Any1 from Perth on this forum who owns a 1M in VO that wouldn't mind if I had a look? My car is due for production soon and not 100% convinced on the colour. Would be great if I could have a look in real life.

Thanks in advanced...

There is one 1M VO in Perth (My SA at auto classic told me) I don't think he is on here unless he is lurking about.

Thanks for your input guys..

I have seen a VO 1M here in Perth from a distance but did not really pay much attn to it as at the time did not think I could get one. Was only by luck as some1 had pulled out of their June Production which I quickly snapped up.

I was 99% certain on VO yesterday until I passed a VO F20 yesterday which was under some trees and didn't look appealing to me.

The other colour I would consider is AW, but my previous car already had the white / CF look.

Any1 here have seen the 3 different colours in person? Any input?

Cheers

VO just doesn't suit the F20. At least that's my opinion .

I think the BSM just hides all the wide body accents and the overall look of the 1M..
The AW to me, just looks like any other 135i, unless you mod it up with some nice CF bits.

Yeah good point Zuzu, my thoughts were the same regarding the AW.. didn't want to have to spend the time modding it.

Do you daily drive your's? Does it attract too much unwanted attn?

+1 I always see the BSM 1M on the way to work and from far it looks like any other 1er.

When I first saw it, I thought it was a normal E82 (doesn't help that he use to have a 135i and is using the same plate lol) but yeah hide the lines!

or get it custom painted to Dakar Yellow

Mine is not my DD..
But truthfully, it does attract a lot of attention.. It just shimmers in the sun and has an awesome pearlescent look about it..

I have lost count of the numerous times, pedestrians or other cars on the road alongside, have snapped pix or videos..

Always thumbs up for me as a DD. Not many people second look my car anymore. Well, the whole Sunshine Coast probably have already seen it as we did some promotion with the dealer up here. I don't drive the car to Brisbane much as we now take the X3.

The attention is with the 1M though and not the colour. It is striking when you see it, but it is never like a "look at me" colour.
