Pre delivery

Ladies and gents, I'm mear days away from the arrival of my new 330i. I've been tracking her endlessly on every conceivable maritime website suggested in this post. She lands in Brisbane on the 14th, can anyone tell me what time frame I'm looking at from it being sent to BMW, pre-delivery and keys in my hand?

thanks, legends!

assuming your not having after market stuff done by your dealer just hassle them and your salesman to get early delivery.

do get them to do a wheel alignment though.

hopefully the dreaded stink bug hasn't hitched a ride!!

Congrats mate
I know the feeling it's soooo good

I waited 10 days from the time the ship docked at Port Kembla , but my dealership was having a sales event so they kept it there longer as they were busy aaargh
So you might get it earlier 😀👍
Just so that you know your car will goto another company first where they fix up any damage / issues if any incurred on the journey before it gets sent to the dealership
I posted an excel spreadsheet in this thread which you can use to go through each component of the car before you take delivery , have a look
Good luck and post lots of pix 😄👍

i too was going to wait for the new IS350 after stepping out of a 2017.... that thing is f**king ugly! I will miss the MARK LEVINGSTON stereo though, hopefully, the Harmon Kardon can match it.

Hahhaa, ok sorry to break your bubble , I have the HK system in my car and its better than the base Hifi but nowhere near the quality of the Mark Levinson unfortunately, If you look on the forum , there is a whole thread posted by erawamai and AustraliaG20 on speaker replacement , have a look.
So will replace soon, when I have saved up enough moola, but only the front doors and centre channel..maybe with Focal or Steg

haha does that mean i need to drive faster to get away from them LOL.

honestly though i think there is 2 categories, you are either an audiophile or you are not.

im probably more of the latter.

however id love to see what the difference is between the standard audio and say an aftermarket one someone has installed.

I think the other issue is that car interiors are not particularly good acoustic environments. Lots of hard surfaces, sound intrusion, and the 3 definitely falls short re insulation. The latter I feel makes it harder for the sound system to really sparkle.

It's quite a big difference , but depends on how much you love your music, if not then it's a waste.
