Two major issue for us (three if you include shipping to Aus)
1 It is a brand new model, so you have to expect some glitches to occur in the initial stages (we are seeing this now).
That is why I did not pre-order mine.
I waited for the RHD production to run for 4 months so as not to have as many teething issues.
2 The M Sport and sport auto box options caught BMW by suprise, it was far more popular than they allowed for and evident by the delays in delivery dates.
Look on the bright side, a freind has just ordered his Aston Martin and his delivery date is earliest Sept 2013. A Mogan at present is over two years. Even the Renaultsport Clio is up to 6 months
If anyone wants the car off the showroom floor it can happen very quickly. There are 5* 116i and 2* 118i M Sport available today at my dealer. Unfortunately the only 125I M Sport that was available here in Brisvegas was bought 10mins after it was put on the dealers floor.
And we all want extras. BMW has too many choices and this also slows down your cars production as they have to do individual fitments.
