If you have been to a BMW launch in the past you would realise that by the end of the night, no one is in any real state to test drive or move the cars around for a drive.:drinking::drinking:

Bur then again it will depend on your relationship with you dealer:iono:

Kris · 05-12-2008, 01:50 AM

heh I've never been to one, are they like that?

Zuzu · 05-12-2008, 01:55 AM

Hi Kris..Depends how long you hang around..:drinking:

Kris · 05-12-2008, 02:01 AM

:P I just want to have a rev of one

Zuzu · 05-12-2008, 02:03 AM

Hahaaaa.we all do..I think we all have to take a ticket and join the que..

Carlos · 05-12-2008, 05:20 AM

Hmm, I dont think so, but the next day probably, a lot of people have already make appointments to test drive the cars from the next day, so just call your dealer and ask for a test drive and see what you can get.

Zuzu · 05-12-2008, 05:31 AM

All done Carlos..have my appointment first up the next morning after the launch..vvvrrrmmmm
Booked the test drive as soon as the launch was finalised at my dealer.

Carlos · 05-12-2008, 05:40 AM

Good on you Zuzu, I already booked mine at trivett for saturday morning (first free day I wil have) Do you know if they will let you take the car for a spin alone or someone have to be with you all the time? On the weekend I was on the VW and the Audi and both gave me their cars to drive by myself.

Zuzu · 05-12-2008, 05:42 AM

It depends on your dealer.
My dealer at Sylvania lets me take the car alone ,but I have dealt with them for the past 20 odd years.

Zuzu · 05-12-2008, 05:43 AM

Are you dealing with Paul Sibley at Trivett?

Carlos · 05-12-2008, 06:08 AM

Actually, I got my invitation for the launch and then call to have the test drive so I actually not deal with anyone there.

Zuzu · 05-12-2008, 06:15 AM

Carlos..I have sent you a PM

WAY · 05-14-2008, 12:38 AM

I have an invitation to Doncaster, Melbourne, and Stillwells. Not sure if I want to go to any of them...maybe the Doncaster one as it is at an interesting location.

smarm · 05-14-2008, 01:24 AM

Where's the doncaster launch?

WAY · 05-14-2008, 01:42 AM

Eltham. Monslavat.

professor · 05-14-2008, 02:02 AM

hidey Way! long time no see (of your posts). congratulations on the C63.

if you are coming to doncaster i'll come there too. that way i'll get to see an amg or an aston up close (the 135 can wait till i get mine!).

WAY · 05-14-2008, 02:11 AM

Hi Professor, I have been travelling. My 3 month old baby's first overseas trip!

If I go to the launch, I will be driving the new AMG as I will be bringing my baby. I bring him everywhere on the weekends!

professor · 05-14-2008, 02:39 AM

great. the only thing i like more than cars is kids.

Zuzu · 05-14-2008, 02:44 AM

Dito..

smarm · 05-14-2008, 02:57 AM

Great place for a car launch.

Certainly beats the dealership.
