Could be worse, was inquiring today about Macans, Retail or the highway OR if you're desperate RRP PLUS.
P cars in Willoughby mentioned they have 70 orders in the bank already |

Yeah the wait list is out the door for the Macan, apparently the bulk of the first batch to aus will all be fully or near fully optioned, so no povo spec ones for awhile

It's hopefully inevitable now with the local car industry dead that import restrictions will eventually be removed (see PC recent recommendations). And when it happens, I won't have any sympathy when BMW AU (and the others) get what's coming to them just like the retailers with online shopping. |

When eventually there is nothing local and everything is dependant on imports, don't expect to be paid as much as you are now. Australia is expensive, but I wouldn't live anywhere else. |

Fark that 120mph aquaplane though! I would have shat myself and probably had some negative/derogative remarks to make......along with the skid marks.

Historically, on Top Gear, Clarkson bags every Bimmer that isn't an ///M and he's always had a giant woody for the Golf - Especially the GTI.
The only non-///M BMW I can recall him saying nice things about on TV is the latest 5 Series Diesel Wagon (I think it was the 530D?) I'm betting that if that roadtest had been in the dry he would have found another reason to say the GTI was better... If you want to know what he really thinks rather than what his Top Gear persona says then read his motoring columns... He was very nice about the 135i once upon a time but he smashed the 1 Series hatch on TG... 135i review: http://www.topgear.com/uk/bmw/1-seri...t/135i-m-sport And THIS is what he really thinks of the M135i: http://www.driving.co.uk/clarkson/bm...135i-2012/5888 Last edited by Harlequin; 03-11-2014 at 06:36 AM.. |

He loved the 135i. And he likes the E36-E46 3 series.

Such an idiotic review. You're going 200km/h on standing water foot mashed to the floor wtf do you expect to happen.

They've done it again with the Performance Exhaust. Sounds awesome.
I'd definitely take one of those over a CLA any day... |
