Aussie deliveries?

Smiley1175 · 10-27-2016, 04:23 AM

I'm not sure if its still available but I heard today that Glen Waverley BMW on Monday had an LBB DCT M2 available for immediate delivery.

If anyone is looking/waiting on one this might help.

Yeah I saw this today at that exact dealer! I'm waiting for delivery! Should be on a ship now (hopefully)! These weeks feel soo long!

Anyone in Brisbane have a recommendation for a good detailer & paint protection pro? Anyone who uses Geyon or Gtechniq products.

Does anyone know the Maintenance and service for the M2's in Australia?
Are we part of the no-cost schedule, or do we go with the BMW Service plan of like ~$2100 for whatever how long, can someone shed some insight?

Mine came with 3 years of free servicing.

I would be asking for 5 years/100,000km. It should be pretty easy to get, especially if you're eligible for member advantage. Most registered professions offer member advantage perks, as do many other professional organisations.

To clarify, you should be getting that for free. The M2 will be my second BMW and I'm yet to pay for a service. Certainly helped the buying decision.

Ahhh. Not part of that I guess, considering!
Yep! Vehicle has arrived, but delivery is taking on the 18th.
Not too sure why it's that long! But see how things go!
Not too fussed, as I still have exams to sit as of now, and gotta make a trip up to Sydney before delivery!

What preparation are you getting the dealer to do? I've booked the car in to Dan's Garage for the Opticoat, so I've been told to not let them machine polish it.

Just wondering if I'll get it earlier if I offer to wash it myself.

Apparently, it's a 2 week turnover from discharged at port.
I've requested them to not detail/wash. As I do my own detailing, but I don't coat or PPF. Because I swap out cars every 4-5 years. For me, it's not worth it.
But dealers give you a safe delivery time. But once they receive it, it's about 36-48hr turnover. So give the, a call, and ask if they can push delivery as early as they can. Because, holding vehicles up in their storage is ultimately costing them money.

As to my detailing, just wash, clay the car, wax it with raceglaze hybrid ultrawax. And that's that!

How did you guys get 5yr service plans? The deal with my corp is only 4 years. Did you have to haggle for it?

No haggling required, i believe it depends on the institution you work for and the amount of cars they have on Bmw's corp program. When i got my first Bmw a few years back they only offered 3yrs free servicing, i am still with the same company but was now offered 5yrs on the M.

Aust350z · 10-31-2016, 10:52 PM

Correct. Depends on the company.

slashrawr · 11-01-2016, 06:06 AM

Ah right. Thanks guys.

Smiley1175 · 11-03-2016, 02:41 AM

Hey guys,
For the Melbourne folk, does anyone get their DAB radio dropping out continuously?

I often get "No Signal" displayed and the radio completely drops out.

drzed · 11-03-2016, 02:55 AM

No, my DAB works alright,; of course it cuts out ifI am in an underground car park. I'm in the city/eastern suburbs area.
