Should you decide to apply PPF after paint protection, the paint protection will have to be removed first. I’m not sure how difficult this is.

Perhaps priority 3 is the highest priority. No contact from the dealer today, but expecting a call tomorrow if the car arrives in Adelaide before end of business. On Monday I’m hoping the dealer will have a firm delivery date for me.

I am Brisbane based - car on Prominent Ace.
My dealer has pencilled delivery for Tuesday 31st March, it may be delayed to Thursday but he is confident I will have my car next week - crazy in comparison to some of you guys who are also on this ship and cars have docked Melbourne/Sydney!! I spoke to him today and apparently BMW australia are making big waves to get these cars delivered ASAP. I suppose the threat ofCOVID 19 also looms for them - if we go into lockdown, dealerships will have to close. Let's see what happens!! |

My friends car went into a dealership(Not BMW) and his webcam detected that the service people bumped his car into another car and did not tell him, so anti tamper will be very useful. |

There is ‘secret’ compartment under the floor of the boot, close to one of the fuse boxes. I have the Cellink Neo located in that compartment. And I have connected it to an ACC fuse. That is, power to the fuse is off when the ignition is off. Unfortunately, the G20 does not have a ‘secret’ compartment in the boot, so I will have to find another location.

It’s not over until it’s over. As stated earlier, BMW wants to deliver these cars quickly (and wants the money in the bank), so it’s possible they will move hell or high water to get these cars delivered quickly before a possible lock down. Here’s hoping.

For anyone in Sydney, my estimate is that cars will leave the wharf on Tuesday 31 March, arrive at Prixcar the same day, get complained on Wednesday 1 Apr and at dealers by Thursday 2 Apr.
I'm sure all the dealers are keen to pump out cars for delivery handover ASAP so you could be having your cars by next weekend! |

I think we may be running even a head of schedule. Looks like both of our cars have cleared AQIS/customs and are ready for compliancing.
Keep checking, it could be complianced today and make its way onto a truck for dealers tomorrow morning. Speaking from experience as I tracked another car which did the exact same process but a day ahead of our cars (came in on a different ship which was docked a day ahead). That car is already at the dealer, arriving around noon today! |

Just heard from my dealer.....some good news, some not so good news.
The good news....My car will be delivered Fri 3rd April. It arrived at Prixcar 27th Mar and will not arrive at the dealer until tomorrow, 31st Mar (weekend involved there). The not so good news......the rear diffuser is not here......Ordered 5 months ago. It seems there have been problems in Germany and BMW does not order these parts until the car is in country. WTF! At least the rear spoiler and front splitter are here. I’ll get the paint protection and window tinting done on Monday 6th and will be fully operational prior to the Easter long weekend. With isolation practices in place, it will give me plenty of time to install the dashcams in a quiet and orderly manner.
