Fair enough.
When I bought the car I told the dealer I was keen on whatever track days they did and never heard anything.

I used to just tag along to the Barbagallo track days with my dad and bring my Audi in. Don't think they were very impressed with a hatchback overtaking people crawling their Lamborghinis around

Did you get yours from West Coast? Who was your dealer?

They said they sent invites out to special customers only... what that entails i'm not exactly sure...

It was a free event, breakfast and lunch provided... m5, m3, 750, 740, 650, 640, 6 gran coupes all available for drives.. great day

Auto classic, and I'm guessing I'm not a 'special' customer as I've bought 1 ex-demo 135i.

Bit of blunt trauma never hurt anyone... Permanently...

Think of all the fun.

Hi all,

New to the forum but pulled the trigger on the AW 1M at Melbourne BMW so thought I should join the community.

Look forward to chatting with you all.

Smiley1175 · 08-22-2012, 05:23 PM

Congratulations. I saw it there the other day I drove past.

When do you pick it up?

Congrats DEF, nice choice in colour, well there isn't much choice given they are getting rare as rockin horse shi1t now (new).

It is good that you don;t have it yet, that gives you time to call Damian at Final Inspection for some paint love and protection.

I have said this to all Mexicans, I strongly recommend you go get some Full Metal Jacket protection on that beauty ASAP.

A few of the guys on here have been and can make comment, Smiley, Ausfredy and me of course (three of my cars in the past 10 months).

I stand buy Final Inspection so much so that I am shipping my 5 day old BSM 1M down there from Canberra in an enclosed transporter in the next few weeks.

Enjoy the new ride, 5 days in nothing mate!

DEFYET · 08-22-2012, 10:49 PM

Thanks guys - AW was my first preference so I feel very lucky to pick one up brand spanking new!

Good idea on the FMJ - I'll reach out to Damian

The 5days is feeling like an eternity at the moment.

Only Kidding..

Congrats on the purchase mate..

DEFYET · 08-22-2012, 11:16 PM

Bad timing at my end so I cant pick it up till Tuesday

Z1M · 08-24-2012, 02:02 AM

It has now been 2 days since my original post and I still do not have the car. I have been informed and promised on Wednesday that:

1) Car is in a "GOVT Bond" which has led to the delay
2) They will definately have the car by Friday (Today)

Anyone here know what they mean exactly by GOVT Bond?

Have emailed them this morning and sms'ed the dealer, both without reply.

w2global states that my car arrived 31/7 at Fremantle on the "Grand Mercury" and was "delivered from" Fremantle on 7/8.

Have asked the dealer ~ 3 times on whether they have my car since the 7/8 in which they said they have not.

I actually also purchased a Z4 which we received last month where w2global stated it was delivered from Fremantle on 25/7 and we took delivery on 26/7.

I have emailed the dealer about my cause for concern this morning in which I have not received a response.

Anyone here have an idea why my 1 M has gone missing since 7/8?

Anybody on this forum from the eastern states have had their cars already delivered that was on the Grand Mercury?

Many thanks in advance...

Cheers

Z1M · 08-27-2012, 02:01 AM

Just had an update from my dealer...

Car will be another 4 weeks due to "superficial damage to either the rim or front panel which was caused by government department. Need to wait for new parts to come in from Germany"

What do you think guys? BS or just unlucky?

It's possible, cars often get damaged between the factory and the dealership and the consumer is usually none the wiser.

I love how they are trying to blame in on the government! Damn that Gillard . . . first the insulation, then mining tax, now this.
