A friend of mine helps drive off cars at Freo from time to time (and told me some stories which horrified me a bit...) and he said the "good" ones get hidden away straight off the ship and not left...

BMW Australia don't seem interested. There are three Mercedes dealers in WA and some other brands like Volvo even have two. It isn't good...

Still thinking about it...
I haven't placed a order yet, and if I did it would be a basic white diesel with black trim, keeping the expensive options to a minimum given their poor value (!).
