I cracked the sh*** with my dealership. I understand that things can be delayed (originally should be arriving now, then august and now sept) but I got pi$$3d off when the sales bot tried to feed me a bucket of lies.
He said he was throwing in A$575 for free, which is the headlight washers. I am getting the xenon lights and I said to the sales bot that under Australian design standard that these come included. I have confirmed this with 3 other BMW dealers, in different states. If you select Xenon lights you automatically get the washers included. The $575 is optional if you have standard lights. Secondly he promised to call me back to discuss. Surprisingly it didn't happen - which was a common theme with this sales bot. I have had to constantly prompt him for answers. I eventually called the GM of the dealership to raise my concerns. I really took offense to being offered the headlight washers as an act of good will, when they come with the car. What next - a free steering wheel? |

When I went to a dealer in Melbourne, they punched in all the numbers in a spreadsheet to come up with the total price. When we asked to see the breakdown of the on-road costs, it showed that they were calculating the stamp duty with a percentage higher than the 5% in Vic. When we asked them to use the correct percentage, he tried to convince us that we were getting a discount off the total price!

True, but in the documentation from BMW Australia it states : "Bi-Xenon Headlights for high and low beam incl. daytime running lights, headlight washing system, plus four light rings and automatic headlight range control." From that quote above it does state that the Xenon lights include the washing system. Therefore it could be said that there is no additional costs. |

I am picking mine up this Sat. My dealing with the dealer so far has been excellent. He said the car would be here by late August 4 months ago and he is ahead of schedule.

I just saw a post about tracking the ship my car is on and looked up my VIN. My car docked at Port Kembla (NSW) yesterday!!! I have to wait for it to come to Melbourne. It's only been 5 months!

You will need the VIN of your car. Enter that in the Cargo ID of the following link:
http://www.2wglobal.com/www/customer...LaunchPage.htm And then click on the Voyage number. If your car is on the same ship, it should have arrived in Brisbane today! |
