I don't think anyone here has ordered one! Why? I am not going to bother for now. Will see.

Btw, I have been driving the 135i heaps in the last 24 hours. I am really impressed and I love the size of it!

I've done 350km in the last 24 hours, and I have driven it reasonably hard to know what it really is like. As I said, I am impressed.

So NOW you want to order one??? I thought you wanted to get it locally fabricated? And if you are getting one, are you importing it or doing it locally?

Fitting is do it yourself, any monkey can do it. $2150 is stupid - why would you buy local with the US dollar so good??? I think Dan@United can do us a super deal on a few if we all order together..

I have the diffuser. The shipping is what is expensive and a group buy does not help since the value of the shipment is above A$1000 anyway. That is why I had to go it alone.

So you just mark it under $1k? Get Dan to email the invoice rather then attach to the box. Not that hard..

no actually i learned the hard way. if (rather when) there is breakage in transit you get screwed doing that sort of thing! its a very awkward thing to pack as you can well imagine. multiple shipments are necessitated anyway.

As i said in the last diffuser thread, the customs and duty are a killer so bulk will not help you. Hey professor, how much was it landed then? i suspect 1900ish Aussie each

Let me know as i did offer you guys a group buy and i want to know if i'm way out of the water or not.

I'm happy to take the risk of damage if Dan@united can ensure its really well packed, if you mark it at $900 you're at least covered for that much!
