Nice! - wonder if your car came over on the same boat as mine (TOPEKA)... my car is sitting at Wollongong (Port Kembla) awaiting transit to the dealer. Gotta say I'm over the waiting.

You know i couldn't track my car because the website(shipping) wouldn't accept my VIN, so i kept on asking BMW Syd. I have no idea what boat its on but all i know is that the wait is getting shorter. I kept on repeating to myself everyday that the wait is worth it at the end

"Taxman" hasn't contributed for 4 days straight. I hope he is alright, we need more community minded citizens like him [/sarcasm]

Lol, is that site for fully sicks to get ideas for their next plate?

PS I am clean

OzStriker · 04-18-2008, 07:52 PM

BMW have sold 263 E92 M3s in the first six months, compared to 132 E46s in the first six months of that release. I am surprised at the lowish numbers but it is an improvement for BMW Australia I suppose.

Hmmmm that ratetheplate website is pretty good.

There was another one for Victoria only a few months back but closed down due to "legal issues"

Not surprising since new car sales across the board are at an all time high and personal wealth (land / home values) has increased dramaticly over the last 6 - 7 years and Lots of people in the mining industry are still raking in the bucks.
