Did check to see if it has been booked for a ship yet?

Supposed to arrive at the dealership in the morning, Aero kit is painted ready to go on, towbar, Stainless Steel peddle box, tinted windows is all that is needed to be installed.

They said they need a day for there pre-delievery thing & window tint and another day for towbar, peddle box & Aero Kit install.

Anyway we will see what happens?

That must be exciting for you. Will you be taking any photos ?

mine should arrive in Fremantle on the 1 Mar and I'm thinking about going to the port to see if I can by chance see the cars come off the ship....

apparently this load of cars is a big one and it's unlikely that i will get mine within 2 weeks. What a b!tch

They are slow through BOND, mine took 6 days and they reckon that was quick, then a further 3 days through pre-delievery and on a transporter. It arrived today at the dealer.

Couple of years ago I waited for my wifes car, it arrived 2nd Nov and got it on the 27th Nov, took more than 3 weeks.

Hope it is only a couple of weeks for you?

Well the ship has arrived - it came in this morning and will leave tomorrow. I couldn't see where they drove off any X5s and held them. Apparently there were 50 odd BMWs on this ship for AutoClassics so they must have either driven them that day to the holding yard in Kewdale or into some big shed on the dock.

great pics, must've been excitin trying to look for the cars

[Mi5]

it sure was. earlier this week i reminded my salesman that it would be in their interest to get my car delivered asap because the longer it takes the more kms (i avg around 800 - 1000kms a week) and potential damage i put on my car just from normal driving eg stone chips etc and that they are holding the evaluation value. My salesman said he will put my car on priority for clearance so i hope he did what he said and that it will be cleared within the next week or so.

did u get urs? how about pics

[jimsaq]

not yet, the build was delayed a little, it got built mid-feb instead of late-jan
I've asked for a delivery date but they reckon they don't know yet

[Mi5]

My Euro number plates are ready for collection and I got the call from the dealer today saying the car has arrived and will be ready for delivery this Thursday !!.

They had placed my car on highest priority along with two others out of the 53 cars that arrived on the same ship in the begining of March.

I can still remember when I first placed the order and trying to work out the schedule of events and timing leading up to delivery. When I read my first post on the matter it didn't seem that long ago but I can definitely say that time didn't go quick enough for me but i think it's not good to wish for time to pass away like that....only brings our ending closer

I'ved asked them to install window tinting and may ask for the Ipod connection to be added.

Anyway hope to pick it up this week.
