Domza,

Push the bastard for some freebies as compensation for your pain (and his lack of commitment) ! The umbrella, the pen and those dinky folding sun specs should do it, eh ?

Oh i will! But let it be known that ive been known to have quite the potty mouth. So look out.

But yup. Freebies ahoy. I got a years free servicing out of him (only cause they were offering it tho) but i dont do enough km's to make use of it. First scheduled service is at about 25,000km. Id only do about 10 - 15 a year (thousand that is!). Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

<edit>
those specs were pretty neato huh!

We need to hear more Auzzie English on this board - good for our US pals. Having a "potty mouth" and being "fooked" is a good start. Keep it up ! Good luck with your delivery, mate.

Isn't all the scheduled servicing free up to 50,000 mi or 4 years in Australia? It is here in the states.

No doubt they have it good. Here there is no free maintainence and the warrenty is for only 2 years. However, the good thing for me is that when I go back to the states it will be right at the 2 year mark and I can transfer my warrenty to BMWNA.

Sorry to read you were screwed again. You should deffinetly put a boot to his ass.
Free spoiler mudflaps something.

I had a similar disappointing delivery experience so I can certainly empathize with you. It sort of takes the gilding off the lily. They never did send me an evaluation form.

Never mind, though. Once you get it away from them, you may not have to take it back. I have yet to visit the show room since delivery, service neither and it is almost three months now.

Good luck tomorrow.

Struth, Domza. That's really no fair finkum, mate. My suggestion (typical attitude for a Pom) : "Go chug a few tinnies down the dunny and wait until morn".

Don't accept anything less than your car polished personally by the General Manager. My dealer even took to me to lunch on the handover day. So get some meat out of them too.

best o luck, to you Domza.
