Delivery Date
Hey Guys,
I was just given my VIN number by my dealer, so I was able to track down the vessel and expected day it should dock - 12/3 @ Port Kembla My dealer hasn't given me a date though on when I should expect the car to be ready. Has any one had any experience with tracking their car? And what are the wait times like once it hits the port? Dealership is - Rushcutters Sydney. |

Ask them to put it on priority. I got mine within a week of docking at Port Kembla.

Yes, push them. If your sales guy doesn't want to help, speak to his manager. Try seeing them in person, they may make the effort if you do.

Speak to the delivery coordinator at your dealership. Just say if I don't pick it up by the 24th of March, the car will sit at your dealership till the 25th of April as I'm going on my honeymoon!
I got my M235i about two weeks after it docked in Port Kembla!

That's very poor, but not unexpected for BMW Sydney really. They do so many cars and just don't have the same level of customer service that the smaller dealers do.

Checked this morning DISCHARGED PORT KEMBLA 13-03-2016 14:56:13 I assume this means its off the boat and waiting customs? Is there another way to track where the car is up to in the customs/compliance process? |

I'll give you an idea for delivery... Mine was discharged on Thursday 5th Feb 2015. I picked up my car on the Monday 16th Feb. However, it was ready on Friday 13th Feb, but I was in Melbourne. So it's pretty quick turn around time, they quoted me 2 weeks as well, but it was well under. I think they just quote 2 weeks for everyone, just to be on the safe side.

I get the impression they A. Won't allow you to have the car until BMW Australia announces a showroom release date Or B. Want to display your car in their showroom for a while. So maybe they are stalling you with blowen out times. |

When they sent my official build details it said the car will be built on 05/02/2016 at Leipzig plant. The dealer said delivery will be 12 weeks after the build date which lands it in a May delivery date. |

Update on Delivery though. My status on the tracking website changed to "Delivered from" and the next day BMW contacted me with good news that I will be getting it next week. I must say BMW Sydney has really come through in the end with a great price and were able to get it all rushed through since the car has landed in AUS. |

Nice, 10 days.
They ended up turning mine around from being "delivered from" status to come pick it up, 7 days. Which is in 3 sleeps!!!! Very Excited. I too opted for the sunroof - 1900$ I used to fit sunroofs and this isnt a bad price. Big Cheers to MOE as well for hooking me up some parts, cant wait to get the car home to slam them on. |
