I love late night runs.

See Specs & Pricing Thred to further discuss dealer charges, this way we can keep it organised.

Nice one Kris! Our cars will be identical (even the same options!) except I have the grey poplar trim. It will be interesting to see who gets theirs first - I got mine through BMW Sydney and have been told May delivery.

Ha! They are too

Great minds think alike - we'll have to take them for a spin one night! I can't really think of any other options I'd like. I was disappointed that seat 'cooling' wasn't an option. I think in Australia we need that more than seat heating - my boss' lexus has seat cooling, its great.

Alpine White seems the most popular color, I saw a new M3 in white and it looked hot!

I think the dealer mentioned that June would be a worst case, but I'm happy for then...

walbjj · 02-24-2008, 12:54 AM

i was at col crawford today, grabbed a brochure but they didnt have a spec sheet. anyway, the shonkster, i mean car salesman said that june was the likely date that they would start showing up on the floor.
i just want to see it so i can get an idea of the sizing of the car

d3syd · 02-24-2008, 04:01 AM

There will be one at the Melbourne motor show starting on 29 Feb for 10 days. I want to go have a look myself if I can manage to get away.

WAY · 02-24-2008, 05:28 AM

Give me a yell if you come up. If we are there on the right day when the ppl I know are there, we may even get to sit in one.

d3syd · 02-24-2008, 06:17 AM

Cool. Will let you know if I am coming.

Hey moO moO,

Get the 135 after you sell your GTI and take me for a drive up OPH. I want to see if I should sell my GTI and get one of these :thumbup:

Kris · 02-24-2008, 09:02 PM

I need to sell my car now, what are you guys doing in between sale/delivery? My dealer said to let him know if my car is sold as they can 'work something out' in regards to a car in the mean time

Do dealers do that?? I've never brought a brand new car before! :roundel:

Usually not, unless they can't deliver on time. If they can work something out, that might be a good sign! You might have to pay something though.

Otherwise, you will have to either catch the bus or train. (Or buy my car to use in the interim time

)

Kris · 02-24-2008, 09:28 PM

I've asked them - we'll see what they come back with!

My car is now on Carsales

WAY · 02-24-2008, 09:33 PM

I don't have the same problem Kris. I have more cars than space at the moment. Probably trade in the Golf GTI before the 135i comes. I can't be bothered advertising and stuff...

Kris · 02-24-2008, 09:34 PM

WAY, send a car my way

Well I can't either but the dealer hasn't given me the price I want as a trade so I have no choice but to sell. We already have a Audi A3 , so theres no enough room for 3 cars or budget!

WAY · 02-24-2008, 09:38 PM

The Aston is gathering dust. You want to use that? Not! Actually the GTI doesn't get used either at the moment...

Well, if you need to put some kms on them, I'll take them for a drive when I'm down for training, no charge either

Kris · 02-24-2008, 09:51 PM

WAY, perhaps you need a new BACK not a new car?

WAY · 02-24-2008, 10:07 PM

Don't start Kris. I have heard that one before. I told Mdt yesterday that I will get rid of my Aston later this year if my back is no better, probably when I pick up the AMG. His response was that I probably can't drive the AMG either so why bother.

Kris · 02-24-2008, 11:18 PM

haha

Seems like a good plan to me... Heres hoping the 135i is comfortable

Day 3/4 video of the MWorks trip across US (Youtube) suggested the seats were great, and the guy doesn't look that small.
