G'day guys,

I've already posted over on the LCT thread, but this my first "real" post. I'm thrilled to be able to finally say that I have my E92 on order. Went in yesterday and spent 3 hours with the dealer going over all the options and signed on the dotted line..... delivery due late January 2009 to co-incide with my birthday...... when it comes to giving gifts to myself I can be very generous

So this is what I've ordered:

325i Coupe with MSport Package

• Alpine White
• Black Dakota
• Grey Poplar Trim
• 6 spd Manual
• Sunroof
• 19" D/Spoke Wheels
• Professional Nav.
• Individual Audio (blew my socks off in the demo car !!)
• PDC front & back
• USB Interface
• Seat Heating
• Tint

It'll also have the new upgraded iDrive....so very happy about that.

Now for the longest 4 month wait of my life !!!!

Congrats & welcome.
Just curious, did you find out if it'll be coming with the 3.0 or 2.5? (given the UK has had the 325i with the 3.0 for a bit now, plus the 125i here has got it as well).

i'll congratulate you proper when you actually pick the car up

out of curiosity - i realised that you're in sydney - why did you get heated seats? winter has come and gone and i've never really come to a point in my car thinking "mmm... if only i had heated seats". how much was that option?

PS the wheels you ordered - totally sick. one of the best looking OEM wheels BMW offers

Congratulations on ordering your baby... once you get a VIN from your dealer you can track it though this process

looking forward to the "proper" congrats.... yeah, heated seats is a bit of a toy...but I'll be taking it to the snow each year so why not.... but it does get cold in Sydney..... for about 5 minutes a year...gotta have those heated seats... LOL

what I did was I optioned up the car with lots of "goodies" then got them to do me their best price on the fully loaded car...then removed a few things like comfort access....the heated seats remained on the list.... I guess I could have removed them but what the heck...its done now.

yes I agree the wheels are one of the nicest in the range....

were you able to knock much off the asking price? Dunno why the dealers don't allow negotiation on the pre GST/pre LCT price (rather than the final price) as all the GST and LCT goes to the government anyway

No I didnt get that much knocked off in the scheme of things, I got the dealer delivery reduced to $1400 and the wood trim thrown in (its costs $300 on the M Sport Package) & free floor mats .... wow !!

Yes I agree they are a bit tight when it comes to discounts.

You know what eats me up... the LCT is calculated on the post-GST price... so effectively its a tax on a tax..... highway robbery, literally.
