Initially it was ordered at Dec8th and they said it will arrive at the beginning of April. And i get a letter some stage in January from BMW head saying that my car is getting made in Febuary. April came around the corner went and saw them they said that it is in transit and there is a boat coming in to the country, so it should arrive early May. I went in there on the 10th may they say it's not here yet and it's in transit. May 18ish i went in they said it should be here 21st. May 21st went in they said it's not here yet and it should be here 24th. Yesterday i got my dad to ring them and harrass them, BMW sales guy said he is going to Auckland to track down my car, and said it should be in Dunedin on 26th and we should have ownership by Friday 28th.!!!! I have been waiting over 6 months already !!! My old mans 7 series didn't even take this long !!!!! :bs: :wtf: :behead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadowninja 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2004 That sucks the big one aliluya. Have they even apologised for the delays & fiven you an explanation? Keep us posted as to what happens. See if you can get them to provide a courtesy vehicle until your one arrives. There are definitely advantages to buying a demonstrator... not the least of which being you get to drive the car home when you buy it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aliluya 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2004 go kane it and tell what's like!!! OH HELL NO !!! :thumbsdown: OK, i've never given an impression on anything before .. lol .. I think the handling is actually really nice, it's got lowered sports suspension in it. I do like the headlights ... nice and white, very good at night time expecially with the bi-xenon's at highbeam .. it's like daytime .. the steering wheel is like .. squishy ... but comfortable to hold and drive. The gear box is a sports short shift, really hard to stall (even this being my first manual car haven't stalled it yet, but i do know how to drive manuals, got my test in one). The factory optional 10spkr stereo is much better than anticipated, i have no interest in doing anything to it anymore. The sport seats are nice and comfortable it holds you into place properly ... I have just grown to like the exterior of the car with the m-kit ... IMO i quite like it now... (but everyone is entitled to have their own opinions). All in all i like it ..!! (that just my humble thoughts) If there is something i missed just tell me and i'll report back .. Oh yeah.. the exhaust has a nice quiet low hum to it when driving .... and i do like the induction sound ... *slurp* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
