Yup I saw the QBE one, but what is tempting me with MB Insurance is maybe you will get better service and they deal mostly with premium cars which may make a difference.
I guess we will only know if something happens , god forbid , lets hope not.
Another interesting thing is that BMW insurance underwritten by Allianz wont repair your car if anything gos wrong with the computer/electronics, and seeing as the whole car is a computer haaha, that may not be good, so I need to check that with MB Insurance.

"Failure of computer or similar equipment Excluded."

Just got a quote from MB insurance, seems very expensive compared to NRMA, but comparing apples to apples is difficult
MB Agreed value $81000 , Excess $2000 , $2750 a year , so $229 a month
NRMA Agreed value $81000 , Excess $850 , $1957 a year , so $174 a month .

MB has 4 year new car replacement
NRMA has 2 year
NRMA includes car rental when you take Comprehensive plus
MB includes car rental when you take ($80 or $45 platinum or prestige)
MB include chips repair to windscreen
MB includes replacement cost of windscreen

So I guess for an extra approx $50 a month , you get double (4 years) new car replacement
Windscreen replacement

Have just skimmed over it so need to analyse what I really need and the likelihood of this actually happening.
Obviously the insurance differs for different ages,suburbs, agreed values etc.

I just heard back from MB, he’s asking for a copy of my invoice. Is this normal?

In the meantime, dealer just told me the plates are delayed, so no car till tomorrow at the earliest.
Some photos he sent me.

Thanks man!

That's odd about the invoice request then. I either got a great deal and he wants to get one himself, or I got taken to the cleaners and wants proof there's such an idiot out there.

I'll ask him why.

I have to admit I hadn't spent much time deciding on the colour before I ordered. I was trying to find existing stock so I'd say "don't mind what colour" but when I ended ordering I just blurted out "Blue!".

Looks nice though, I could have easily gone the orange too.

Interior was a pragmatic colour choice. The kids aren't babies anymore but still filthy animals sometimes.

I just asked the BMW Parts guy what most people order , and he said
1. Rubber boot mat :- $300
2. Front ($165)and rear rubber matts ($109) = $274

Maybe ask to throw these in instead of umbrella

Just got those OEM mudflaps I ordered, I asked the BMW parts guy why they dont sell them and he said because it makes the car too low , government regulation is at least 100mm ? from the ground , the 330i Msport has sideskirts as well so makes it lower.

AArgh, oh well I will fit them and see if they scrape up my driveway.

$300 for a boot mat! I just washed an old bed-sheet that will fill that role

I've dropped hints to the dealer that my gift pack better grow because of this delay.

Admittedly I put in I had a parking fine in the last 3 years hahaha, maybe thats it and my wife would drive it 5% only
60% No claims bonus and the below spec, which I think is nearly similar to yours

1. Comfort package
2. Visibility Package
3. Harmon Kardon Sound system
4. Gesture Control
5. M Sport Package
6. Black Leather Vernasca Seats (Contrast stitching blue)(MANL) Sensatec dashboard

So not sure, maybe I can negotiate for your price
Let me know if you go with them and what you got , then I can haggle

I had my wife driving 5% too. And specs are similar except I didn’t get the laser lights. May have mentioned this before: I don’t need them and they would cost a lot to replace. So maybe insurers look at that (expensive glass sitting out at the front of the car)?

Ah yes I think its $4000 a piece , maybe thats the missing piece of the puzzle , totally forgot about that.
The price of good light is expensive nowadays haha..

I bought a Bowden's Own Snow Blow Cannon a few weeks ago, and these extras recently when Repco had a sale. This car will be very clean for the first month or so till I lose interest in being outside in the cold.
