I'm being a bit cheeky and crashing your thread guys, I'm a usual poster on the bmw group BIMMERPOST | BMW Forum, BMW News and BMW Blog and have been tracking my bmw on the OTELLO also! If you're quick, you can catch a webcam of it in port at the Fremantle docks! I'm slightly obsessive too...

here's the link:

Enjoy your cars guys, not long to go now!!

sweet......thanks for the link.

wat bmw r u getting?

[gobobbie]

320d Convertible. Can't wait. I ordered it in February for the new update / facelift, and had to wait until July when it was on the boat when BMW figured out they had accidentally ordered all 320d coupes and convertibles in manual rather than auto... FML!!! They had to re-order for September build but I was not happy to say the least. At least it will get the September / 2011 spec.

Is the 320d Manual homogolated for Australia - or do they send them back to The Fatherland?

[gobobbie]

They had just launched the manual with the update/facelift, hence why they accidentally ended up with the manuals, so yes they will be homogolated for Australia. Apparently the dealership had to accept delivery of all of them as they made the error rather than the factory.

So just did the weekly obsessive status check... Apart from ETA date changing back to 01/11/10, there is a new status line: LINER RELEASE.

Funny if this means the line holding my car has been released and that she has slipped off into the ocean. Awesome! Only another 4 months to get a replacement...

That ties in exactly with the period Melbourne is forecast to experience a massive rain storm. I hope they drive them off the boat with the windows closed.
