From receipt of the VIN number I was told delivery is usually 6-8 weeks away depending on variables such as shipping schedules. So looks to be on time for the original estimated delivery time.

This will be our first BMW and it was a long road to get here. I come from a history of Audi and most recently Volvo, and up until early this year, was looking at a XC60 D5. In the end it was the avialability of the 30d for the Australian market that made the difference. If the comparison had been with the 20d, we would have most likely stayed with the Volvo. The 30d costs somewhat more but I figure we'll get most of that back in better resale.

Looking forward to sharing my experiences when it arrives.

Welcome to the Australian BMW family. Good luck with the car and I am sure you will enjoy its more engaging driving experience.
