200 Australian 1M's Delivered

[NPVPositive]

Updated the count of WBSUR9 deliveries on the Wallenius Wilhelmsen site and the number is now sitting at exactly 200:

Port Kembla 76
Melbourne 73
Brisbane 38
Freemantle 13

TOTAL 200


So looks like the final Australian number will be around 225?

Pardon newbie ignorance - how did you get this figure? What is the Wallenius Wilhelmsen site?

My 135 on the way says its headed to Brisbane. So I think its getting off loaded there and trucked down to Sydney.

I thought the oz allocation was 400

Don't think we have ever seen an official statement from BMW Australia indicating more than 200 cars.

Looks to me like it will settle at about 225, though I'm guessing based on outstanding 1M orders in the pipeline on this forum.

Nah, never been that high, I mean there are only 450 in the UK, and what 700 or 750 in the US.

Based on that there is now a 2nd hand market available, I'd say there'd be less new orders in past 2 months.

Agree Ian, I mean ours is just gone a year old and we are thinking, hmmmm what next another one? (pardon the pun)

CSL ROFL

There has been quite a few come up for immediate sale of late, cancellations, people sick of waiting I guess, just need to use the phone if you really want one. Problem is I wouldn't get another one as cheap as the one we have, then there's the Akra...... I don't want to buy another one of those (too many $$$ hahaha)
