Tow bar, slab of XXXX beer, terry toweling hat, Shimano fishing top, towel, thongs and prawns in portable fridge in back....and ACDC playing on the AC only 50e 🤣

Hey guys, I’m in the market for an m60i or xdrive40i so not quite an owner just yet however hoping to be one soon (pending wait times).

Who is from Sydney and which dealer did you purchase from? How much bargaining power do consumers have today ? I know BMW hasn’t moved across to the agency model like MB yet.

Hi haomap, really depends on their stock allocation. Not sure of the build run for M60i but I think 40i is more abundant. My Dealer did say that the regional production run/Australian allocation dictates the lead times. If I had not locked in my 50e in late Jan for a March build, then they could not even tell me when the next production run for Australia was... most likely later this year

Thanks mate. Did you shave anything off the initial price presented to you?

I ordered in Jan and got a Production number right away with build week of 6th Feb. Per the current update, car was produced in the same week as I also see in bimmer.work. Now I’m waiting for details on shipment but the problem is that my Sales Rep is new to BMW and I’m having hard time getting status updates from him.

So, I just learnt that the status is 165. Anyone knows what that is? Per Sales Rep, it’s soon to be shipped and does not have name of the vessel yet.
