I think you can probably aim for lower than this - a friend of mine got one (Dravit Grey) last year for $114k drive away but note that he got a massive discount because his model was missing the comfort access (keyless entry and lock) and some features we now get. So probably aim for $117-$118k and maybe even a bit lower if you can. So definitely shop around the different dealerships (I shopped around 3 myself - first one quoted $128k drive away with no discount, second one offered $122k and the last one offered $119.5k after an hour of haggling so I bought it there) and let me know if you have any questions here, I'd be more than happy to answer your questions based on my purchase experience. |

I ordered mine on the 22nd of January. Spoke to a genius last week, goes into production in February. However, I was told delivery was going to take 4-6 months, earliest end of May.

I was told 5-6 months, took 8 months, went missing for about 2 weeks and arrived with a huge crease in the drivers door. Hope you don't have the same experience!

What actually happened?? Did the dealer go for a joyride on your car and damaged it prior to the delivery? I'm guessing you didn't take the car!

Quick summary, car arrived mid September, dealer rang me following day to say it'll be ready for collection in a week. Week came and went, dealer then said should be here next week. That came and went, then the car no longer had an ETA on the BMW portal. Three weeks later I pushed them and said I was sure the car had been damaged and wanted answers, they finally chased it up and admitted yes it had been damaged and sent me a pic of a very innocuous looking dent. They told me they had requested it be released to them and it would be there in 2 days to which I said, let me know when it arrives and touch nothing. I arrive an hour after the car was unloaded to find a big crease in the drivers door, which looked nothing like the innocuous photo they sent me. My theory is that when they were loading the car on to the truck to transport it, the driver opened the drivers door on to one of the steel uprights on the truck and creased it through the bodyline. The dealer wasn't particularly helpful through any of this. I had to chase for answers, they new I was in a situation where I needed the car ASAP (second kid was born end August and needed a bigger) and at no point did they offer a loan car, any compensation or even an apology. Their solution was to swap the door from a 330i that had also come in, but the colour match wasn't right - the door was noticeably darker than the rest of the car. So yes, in the end I backed out of the deal. As soon as I saw the damage, I went into plan B mode looking for other cars. The irony was that when I ordered the car, I was actually interested in a G80, but the lead time was too long (again, needed it for number 2 child who was due September). But while I could only find 2 M340's, neither with the options I wanted (mine was fully loaded), I actually found there to be quite a few G80's around and dealers were willing do decent deals on them to boot. One dealer had 4 cars available, all due to buyers backing out. So in the end, I managed to pickup one of those at a good price and no waiting. Here are the pics |

Out of curiosity, what did you end up paying for the G80? 😁 |

Has anyone leased an M4? I'm looking at pricing from all the main places, and it seems to be around Ł700. Any advise when leasing an M4?

Why doesn't Australia have lane change assist? US and other regions have it but not us. Can this be added with a software update? Surly it's just a software thing right? Are there any updates we can get here?

https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...ghlight=Coding Unfortunately, coding with BimmerCode has a component that is missing and, therefore, does not allow Lange Change Assist to be easily coded into your car. A while ago, I had asked the author to add this in but, alas, it has not been done to-date.

Please PM if you are interested in a m340i 2023 that's fully wrapped in frozen ppf.
Brooklyn grey with cognac and carbon interior. I would rather sell it privately than trade her in.

Mine finished build on March 29, just got notified today that it is now on a ship. ETA is late June so hopefully delivery early July. Apparently they get shipped from Mexico to Germany before being sent down here? Excitement... Building 😁 |

Depends on the ships route. Your advisor should be able to tell you which ship it's on and you can track it via marinetraffic.com.
My original car came straight from Mexico through the Panama canal, via French Polynesia to Aukland, Sydney and then to Melbourne |

Interesting... How long did that journey take? Dealer said ETA was late June, so delivery probably early July. Given that's about 2.5 months I assume it's probably going via Germany. Doesn't really matter, I guess - the exact route is off less interest to me than the delivery date. As long as that journey doesn't show up on the odometer, anyway :P |
