Actually, I think you only need 1 leg to drive your F10 auto

And no. Didn't ask about the price on the F14 19". But that's the Ad* shop you mentioned previously.

btw. the shop said it is out of stock. how long does it take them to order a set?
the guy said it takes a longgggggg time

Just called around and confirmed that only 312s are available now. 331 and 356 will need to order. Conservative Lead time 1.5-2 months. possibly shorter.

Hi all, any of you from Hong Kong experiencing pull to the left or right, or jerky morning start?

My sales told me my car is supposed to come in Sept, but not sure whether its the 1st or the 30th. Does anyone know how long the car stays at the dealer after the ship arrives?

mlai · 08-26-2010, 10:52 PM

chiver, I have been quoted 7-10 days after unload from ship for mine. And mine is supposed on a ship supposed to dock on Sep 19.

And go badger your sales! They have shipping manifest on what is on the ship once the ship sails.

chiver · 08-26-2010, 10:57 PM

Thanks mlai. I'm thinking of trading in my car and my licence expires Sept 22. Seeing if I should renew it.

There are 2 shipments each month for BMW and mine is second shipment in Sept. If I were you, I would kill the sales person in the ass until he/she make it up to you somehow. Trade in the car earlier and demand a loaner from them.

chiver · 08-26-2010, 11:04 PM

ok... I'm going to call my sales today and give them %@*$. Thanks for the inspiration!

chiver · 08-27-2010, 01:39 AM

Looks like my car is coming in on the latter shipment in Sept. They will take in my car earlier . Going to see if they can provide a loaner.

chiver,
Were you successful in your negotiation for a loaner to tie you over?

chiver · 08-27-2010, 07:40 AM

mlai. I got the "let me see what I can do, and will get back to you" bs. I'm not holding my breath. Have you ever gotten a loaner from bmw hk?

mlai · 08-27-2010, 07:56 AM

Never bought a bimmer in HK before my F10 order. I hated the HK BMW dealers but F10 is too much of a car for me to keep my grudge..... But if only for a few days, I don't see why not. Their service dept provides loaner cars for the time your car is in service, provided your car is relatively new, and you ask very nicely and quietly.......

chiver · 08-27-2010, 08:17 AM

I'm going to see my rep next week to value my existing car. I've gotten loaner in Canada where it's common but I've never gotten a loaner from any dealer in hk. I'll let you know. If I get one maybe I should ask for a seven series=)

Well, my 535i has been behaving so damn perfect from day 1 that I saw her.

Thanks for letting us know the trick.

we need to bow and say we are not worthy

juztinl · 08-28-2010, 12:25 AM

i think i must have seen 4-5 535i with 328 18". did all of those owners pay extra? or did the early batches got that as standard? just wondering..

chiver · 08-28-2010, 12:32 AM

The early f10 came with 18" but no Bluetooth preparation and the very early ones did not have paddles.

thanks for the quick reply. i'd trade my bluetooth with the 18" tho.

chiver · 08-28-2010, 12:46 AM

You can always change the wheels but I don't know if the Bluetooth can be retrofitted though.
