So not sure why mine is $300 above yours , what is your agreed value
I put $81k
Firetitanx and Slideit,
Your quotes seem quite high to what I was quoted. Is it possible that your insurance quotes are relevant to your location and possible garaging facilities. Perhaps vehicle insurance is lower in Adelaide.

My insurance is with MB and the cost was $ 1,940.00 for my M340 which is pretty well optioned and at an agreed value of $ 118,000.
4 years replacement. Free windscreen, hire car, choice of repairer and an excess of $500 (this was a mistake and should have been $750, but was honored from the original).

That's seems like a great deal. Must be Adelaide. No crime, no corona...

Slideit,

The colour is excellent. It looks like it will be a bit of a chameleon in different light.....dark blue in lower lights and eye popping blue in bright light.
Nice one.

What about those number plates? Are they fashioned in gold, or something similar? I don’t understand why it’s taking so long to get a set of number plates. They had better be special!!

Exactly, virus free, lots of churches and great wine, etc, etc.
All we have is some of the weirdest murders in the world......even mentioned in the series Dexter....the serial killer that killed serial killers. He quoted Adelaide as being the serial killer capital of the world.
Maybe that’s why insurance companies are good to us......too scared of us and the people we know.

I asked for plates personally sign by Elvis. They warned me it would take a while to find the right 7-11 store he works night-shift at.

No, nothing special at all. I'm too cheap (and poor after buying a BMW) to spend money on plates. I think they messed up the paperwork, or maybe something funny at Vicroads.
I didn't push the point. I've already been waiting 5 months. Another day or two..

Thanks man, let’s hope it’s here tomorrow. I can’t handle another sleepless night.
I’ll be driving out in Pure Electric. Hopefully all the way home

It's here! A late Friday afternoon pick up, so not much time to mess around yet.
Seems to be charging very slowly.
Got a "token" error when trying the 3D view and now doesn't work.
Otherwise great! Using the driving assistance on the way home.
Enjoyed the traffic/lane view.

With cabin pre-conditioning and heated seats, I reckon it would be very comfortable, even in cold Melbourne.
Detailer asked for it not to be driven much before drop-off on Sunday. I'll probably just sit inside and play with settings

At last! You must be so pleased you have finally taken delivery.
Were the Doors wide enough to get your grin through?
Great colour.
Looking forward to hear how you’re getting on with the fuel economy. I know it will be way better than my car.

Enjoy!

Yes, this will be my main interest over the next little while.
I’m also wondering how I’ll get 2000km on the engine so I can start giving it a bit!
