Another school of thought from speaking to another dealer is that BMWSA expected more cars from Germany so they specced 13 press cars for launch. Now that they are getting only 63, there will be no press cars, all cars will go to customers. Either way, I had my car specced in Focus Pro end of Jan already so it's an excuse that they were not there. This could have been handled better I think.

I have a question: Are you getting charged for the headlight washer system R2700. My dealer says thats how it is. I disagree since xenons are standard and have to come with this. |

Agree with you, but you have no choice. Just a way for BMWSA to make more money out of a customer. Why make Xenon standard if you have to pay for the washer system. Have you specced your car?

My car was loaded onto FocusPro this morning, should be able to track it from tomorrow. The washer issue is being taken up with BMW, either a feature is standard and included in the sticker price or an added cost optional extra, if the washer system is the latter then they can't force it on to you, if it is non-elective then it should be included in the standard price....

Unfortunitly no mistake, you will have to pay for the washer system although Xenon is standard. The car is advertised for R546 392 by BMWSA including emission tax but actualy it costs R549 092 with the additional R2 700 you have to pay for the washer system. Therefore they are advertising it for the incorrect price because even if you do not take any extras you cannot get the car for the price they advertise. Please not that this price excludes licence and registration your dealer charges you for.

My M dealer called me today and said that they have been given an allocation for June build. The car that i specced was loaded into their system and i will take delivery of it in August. The long wait is nearly over.

Went for AW with automatic aircon. Was forced to take headlight washer system (at a cost of R2700) which i did not want but had no choice (although Xenon is standard).

Im glad to see that people are wanting "strippers". This is very different compared to the US guys.... maybe it would be different if we also had packages...

Not really in my case. I see the 1M as the ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE. Why should you load it with options to make it heavier or be a office inside with all the electonic gagets or have a sound system that makes you feel you inside a night club. When driving the 1M all you want to do is hear that fantastic exhaust note and enjoy its precise handling. I took automatic aircon because it looks better than the manual control nobs and a car in this price range i think it should be standard instead of having rain/headlight sensor standard.
