Yup cars are the absolute worst environments for sound 🥺
So to get good sound takes a lot of work
But when you get it right it's like pure honey especially sitting inside your Dream Machine 👍

how exciting theaussiedon!! im going to my dealer tomorrow to have my rear left tail light replaced/fixed as there was two small scratches on it which i asked them to fix as i have hardly driven the car so assumed it was upon delivery.

its very difficult to see unless you are looking up close or know its there, so could of been missed quite easily when they did the check.

I had a close call when I picked up mine.

What I should have done is taken lots of photos form different positions, even if I hadn't noticed anything wrong wit the car. In those early days of excitement it's easy to miss things.

In my case, once the car went to the ceramic coating guy, he noticed the rear badge was crooked. The dealer initially "suggested" the detailer had caused it. I had not taken any useful photos in the couple of days I'd had the car to support my claim.

But luckily the dealer had taken a couple before delivery (I had asked them to, because I was so impatient), and one of their photos clearly showed the wonky badge before I ever stepped into the dealership.

They sure did. Have to say I got good service after reporting it. A mystery how it happened. Video of them installing it shows that the whole thing goes on in one operation.

yeah i was definitely too excited i suppose and perhaps didn't check everything properly, it was a bit of a strange situation as well because the car was delivered to my house by a 3rd party truck and the guy drove it off his truck into my driveway (i didn't see him do this) i only knew he was there once he beeped the horn of my new car.

Wish i could of had the whole dealership experience of pickup that is the fun bit! Unfortunately my dealer was further than 25km away with the restrictions in place that was what they offered me.

Hi momall what that unbook state means that the car has arrived but awaiting for BMW head office to book the tow truck from Prixcar to your dealer location for its final stage of inspections and detailing before it's to your possession good luck hope to see photos when it's in your hands I know the wait is long.. it's almost here

Hello guys, does anyone know how to track vehicles coming here now?

I've got the VIN but can't seem to find how to track.

Thanks

Unfortauntely Wallenius Wilhelmsen (who BMW use to ship to Aus) no longer allow searching via VIN, only via a bill of lading (BoL).
Once your car ships, your sales person should get an update noting the ship it's on. After that, you can use marinetraffic.com to track the ship name.

My car docked in Melbourne an hour ago, hopefully not too much longer now. Has taken 7 months since ordering.

Hi HFW003

Any luck with finding how your order if tracking?
I have had a VIN since Nov and the car's still not on a boat apparently.

It's just so slow coming down here.
