Finally I feel like I belong rather than being some sort of forum stalker!

I took delivery yesterday.

Options are:

M-Sport
Auto w/. paddles
Titanium Silver
Black Dakota
225M Rims
Logic 7
USB Audio
(No Sunroof)

First pic below - more to come this weekend!

So far I have spent 6 hours in the car but done only 80kms. The oher 4 hours were learning every I-drive option possible plus browsing the forums for the little known secrets of functionality.

Impressions: Fantastic but I have not even given it a squirt yet!

Thanks for everybodies advice over the past 6 months or so.

I will let you know the plans for the car in future posts.

[dimisa1977]

i am sorry, but i just love it. love it

[Chris.G]

Congrats mate!

Nice! Love the wheels. I'm thinking I should have gone for the Msport. I just opted for 19inch + sunroof + USB + Comfort Access + blind

I've got to wait till the end of the month for mine

Do you know how long it took to get from Port Kembla to your delivery?

Yep - RFT. They are 19's. Apparently these (335's) are the only stock cars that come fom BMW with RFT's in 19". i.e. 225 and 230 rims come with RFT. M5 and M6 19's do not come with RFT but have the mobility kit - in fact I think no M-cars come with RFT's??

Go to www.bmw.com.au and select the M-Sports package to see what it includes - the best $2600 you can spend in Australia that is - not an option in the US yet

More shots to come on the weekend - everything is stock at the moment

The ships comes through Fremantle port first (I am in Perth) before heading to Melbourne and then on to Port Kembla. Get your car reference number (VIN or tracking ID) from the dealer and enter that into the auto cargo tracking section of the Wallenius Willhelmsen website for details on the day the ship will arrive (linky below). Unloadng takes less than a day at each port. Total travel time once the ship leaves Austria is about 18 days to Freo. I got my car from the dealer yesterday so unload to delivery = 17 days.

http://schedule.2wglobal.com/AppSche...esselSearch.do - as an example type in the ship name of "Tampere" to see the ship my car arrived on. It left Kembla on its way to Japan via Noumea.

[astra]

[dimisa1977]

OK dimisa. I'll bight. How much for the tips shipped to Perth, Western Australia. Postcode/Zip 6000. I actually really like them and would consider the mod. PM if you wish, but I am sure other Aussies MAY be interested and they would probably see this thread so marketing is marketing right?

[dimisa1977]

Dub: Sorry but even as a sponsor (various levels, etc), I can't provide direct info on the tips via a post. Sorry for inconvenience.

I will give an opinion tho'...and the opinion is "that car would look nasty with tips."

[dimisa1977]

dub: we need more pics.

i for one am MAD jealous of the M package. why can't them just offer this in USA. so odd why they do the things they do...

Go have a look in the pictures section, they've had the Msport in the UK for almost a year now, we only got it a few months back.

[dimisa1977]
