Ship with my M235i onboard docked in Port Elizabeth now. Survived the journey down the west coast of Africa, not much longer now.

MO3 · 08-12-2014, 04:18 AM

Guys, how long after the car docked in the port did you take delivery?

Mine took about 4 weeks - longer than I expected, but I guess it takes time to off load, transport, pass through customs, compliance, dealer delivery etc.

On the upside, it came with only 4km on the clock.

One and half weeks - and that was about 3 weeks ago. Hope it's still quiet at the docks for your sake!

My 220i is due very late this month (Sept) or more likely early October.

My MINI was 2 weeks from when it landed (I saw the boat bringing it into Port Philip!!) to delivery at the dealer - someone was asking about this timeframe.

For the 2-series I stayed with the 220i - it's about Cooper S fast which is more than plenty for me. I've gone for all the handling options though, along with 18" wheels so that if I need to upgrade the brakes the 4-pot M brakes (accessory $3K) will fit. Oh, and a couple of options I wanted or needed were in expensive option packs

even though they're available separately in Europe.

Very excited - I've read through all the BMW technical section on their web site and watched the history of BMW video on YouTube

Gotta do something while waiting!

I think our rides are on the same book. I need to get my VIN and track.

david.orr · 09-14-2014, 12:05 AM

I have tried to spot 2ers all weekend and I haven't seen one. Isn't it really this scarce atm?

...

Should have mentioned I have the car now. Just spent 4 days driving through the NSW Snowy Mountains, after running it in with a few day-trips. Absolutely loving it!

Cyen85 · 11-12-2014, 06:22 PM

Nice colour! @pw4

Hi guys. I placed my order a couple of months ago, but asked for a 2015 build. The dealer is planning to place the order on Friday 2 Jan for the car to be built 'as soon as possible'. We are expecting a March delivery, tho there's a possibility, if all the planets align, it could arrive in the February shipment.

So, I've ordered a 220i Sport, in deep sea blue, with the optional wheels (384 I think?). I'm also getting optioning it up a bit:
- oyster leather
- professional nav pack
- visibility pack
- comfort pack
- sunroof
- fineline stream trim (or is it fineline pure? - whatever the darker one is)
- 'sport' badge delete

The dealers, Rolfe in Canberra, have been sensational. Really sincere, knowledgable and accommodating. Would definitely recommend them, especially Nick.

Anyway, can't wait for delivery. I notice most of you guys have the 235, which would have been great but was way outside the budget. However, I did have a drive of the 228, and was thinking of swapping the order, but would have had to forego most or all of the options I wanted, so kept the order for the 220. I have to say, it's got plenty of herbs for a base model.

All the best
