OK, let's keep it quiet.
If Madonna or Angelina find out they will push the prices up.

Dealer had no idea thought it would be at end of October. Phoned me and said they would get it on the 8th and promised to get it through the shop pronto. That's two weeks with customs. Not sure if that's normal. I am stalking the dealer. Everyday on my jog I divert by the dealership to scout out the delivery bay. Sad really..... Sad thing is I go away for a week with work on the 11th. So probably won't see it till 18-19 Oct. The humanity. |

On a side note.
I'm not sure if I'll go through this again in 4-5 years. If BMW Australia don't get more production slots I'm walking across the road to Audi. It was a close call as it was. |

Stock is generally short at the beginning of the model, and they will generally become available. I actually generally find Audi have more issues with stock in comparison due to the lower production numbers.

The only thing is that this is for times ex Brisbane, so as Melbourne is a bigger port, the wait might be longer.

My car was on Torrens ship (Voyage: CF124-TRS) that arrived in Melbourne on 9 September, I was told the car was in custom few weeks ago, however no any further information so far. Has any one got your X3 from the same ship?

Its here
Well it has arrived.
I haven't seen the beast yet as I had it shipped straight to Mr DVD for a custom rear seat entertainment install. Fingers crossed for Saturday or Monday delivery! Better find some cash.

Well news from down here in Mexico. Finally picked up my X3 after 5 and a 1/2 months. What a feeling.
Drove it down to St Kilda and played with the Idrive and setup the profiles. Tonight went out for a drive to see it all by night. First impressions. Absolutely amazing and worth the wait. Zipping through the roundabouts was a breeze, felt very stable. I can see that the Start stop function is not always appropriate. For example waiting to turn on a green light at an intersection giving way to oncoming traffic. Saying that it is very responsive though. Just have to get use to it. It would be good to have a button on the steering wheel to make it's selection on or off quicker, well more accessible anyway. Ill no doubt change my view on this after a few more hours experience, who knows. Next Wednesday it's off to the detailer to get clear bra put on headlight units and side mirrors plus paint protection. If anyone is interested in the photos Ill take some and post? PS: glad I went with the HUD. PPS: when the "heat" dies down I'll get the mudflaps and roofrack fitted and avoid about $400 in LCT if I had it done at delivery. The car was right on the edge of the threshold. Last edited by S70IP; 10-12-2011 at 06:31 AM.. Reason: Spelling |

Hope this helps. I also annoyed my dealer to the point that my car was the first to be put through pre delivery service etc (annoyed in a keen "nice" way). |
